Look in the classifieds. Axial is probably most durable and readily available. What's your budget? Just remember you usually get what you pay for.

If you start with axial running gear it will be a much better in the long run because of the millions of aftermarket parts for them. I started with an axial ax10 scorpion when they first came out and loved it.

What type of crawler do you want to build, decide that and just read up on them in the appropriate section. After reading all you can Im sure you'll have a ton of questions to ask and that's where you need to be careful on rcc, not searching for the answers to commonly ask questions is a sure fire way to get your well meaning thread derailed into the depths of uselessness.

Anyway welcome to rcc and the start of your new addictive hobby
