1st Crawler Purchase Help

[Widow_JvIak3r]

hey im new to this forum. i have been into rc, mainly nitro, for many years. im in high school and i am looking to get back into the crawling scene and i need some help choosing a first crawler to get started. i looked at some RC4WD but thety are too expensive for me. so i looked at a venom crawler in 1/10th scale and an exceed rc crawler in 1/8th scale.

what do youguys think would be a good starter kit for me? it does not have to have electronics with it.

Cant go wrong with axial

The Creeper is cheaper and performs better out of the box"thumbsup"
And cheaper does'nt mean bad

ok i will look at the creeper and the axial crawlers. thanks. if you think of any other brands let me know,

if you were really into nitro and ever built a kit I would go with the scx10 kit you see what all you are building and those it cost more than a creeper there are tons of build threads and parts to build from. so count me for an axial also.

just ordered a trail honcho. Can't wait to get it

Losi Nightcrawler is also a good choice. It will perform better than a stock axial.

^i'm trying to be active in this forum to finally get my 30 posts so i can try and buy a used axial in what i can only hope is a treasure chest full of good deals in the classifieds. but it is very hard to be productive and involved without buying a new truck to be excited about...

post #14. we'll see how it goes from here...

another vote for the creeper! sure its not as popular as a axial but it is a good rig and mods are plenty cheap "thumbsup"
