Default UC fab chassis as crawler?

Would the PRT work good as a crawler chassis? I love the looks of them. I'm looking at building one as a crawler and hate to wast a ton of cash. Advise me please.

Thanks

I guess the answer depends on what you mean by 'crawler'. The dual trailing arms limit ground clearance on the front and back and the frame is taller to allow for more travel than what you would see on most Class 3 trucks. It wouldn't be the best frame to start with for Class 3 style cone-dodger. That said, PRT stands for 'Pure Race Truck', and from what I've seen they're awesome for U4 / Alterra / G6 style stuff. Check our UC Fab's instragram for a good idea of what they can do.

While I love the looks of the PRT, I am looking to build a great 2.2 crawler. I would love to try u4 racing, but it is not big around me and I would have nowhere to practice within a reasonable driving distance. I will have to wait for a karnivore to come up for sale. I cant even get put on a waiting list. That is a high quality problem for UC fab. Thanks for getting back to me.
