OK so my birthday is coming up and my wife wants to buy me something for my crawler... She wont tell me a price range but I'm assuming its between $50 and $150. I have a Axial RTC (should have bought the ARTR) with white rovers, aluminum links, drooped suspension, sidewinder ESC and BEC. I don't know what to get!?!?! I want to get the best bang for the buck! The only RTC parts left are the radio, receiver and servo. So C'mon people help me out!

You have a great setup so I think this is easy. A gift card towards a spektrum dr4e or better.

Well you got the grip sorted, the stock wheels are fine. And you got the Electrics side sorted with the sidewinder and BEC.

I'd go with a chassis and shocks.

Chassis:
Vanquish Incision pro (i have this and love it)
FF-4 (60/40 chassis on this site)
Mahem engineering
SWX bender

Shocks
Gmade Transistion (i have these too, very good)
Gmade Zero (external spring)
Losi 4" alluminium
Axial pro aluminium
Traxxas big bore (to save some pennies)

The chassis for me was by far the best improvemnt along with the rovers. It is literally night and day comparing the stock chassis with any aftermarket one.

If you get bored, get yourself some revo rod ends and a length (3M in Asutralia) of delrin/acetal rod (i got 8mm diameter). a 4mm tap to make the thread and you can make dozens of different length links to try.

Hope this helps

I would get a good hi torque hitec servo. You can have the best radio set up but if you can't turn it's game over dude! My 2 cents.
