My 6 yearss old daughter Luna wants to compete next year on some events with me, so I decided to build her a budget crawler, out of an existing rig and with parts I have laying around.
This was before, no need to tell you how a stock crawler-king performs :-(

So where to start ? A used AX10 chassis from a friend, some revo rodends and some little piece of aluminium was all I needed to make it a roller. This is where I am today with only a little money spend:

The next big thing will be the tranny. I want to get rid of the HPI transmission and make an old stampede tranny fit. Also need to put a servo and the battery onto the front-axle.
The choice for the body and the colour is up to my daughter.
