    Why can't a crawler also be genuinely fast?

However, I also would like to go faster than the trx4. People have suggested rock racers, but I dont like the body style and Im not looking to go fast...

    Newbie looking for advice...

    I've been looking and reading for a few months and have decided I would like to build a kit. I am down to the SCX10 Jeep Cherokee or the RR10 Bomber.

    Hey everyone. I'm real keen on getting into this. I've seen a few videos and read a little on here. I know next to nothing about it and reading all the technical stuff you guys write is doing my head in. I like the idea of the scale rigs because they look so realistic (most of them anyways)...

    Is this a smart first scaler?

    I fly planes, but it's super windy here all the bloody time (Cornwall UK), so I wanted something fun to do when it's not flying weather. Scale crawlers look really cool, so I thought why not. But at this point, I'm a little lost. I'm not looking for anything competitive, just something capable...
