Default Another "rock crawler" on ebay

I think it is sooooo funny when people who have no clue what they are doing build a "crawler"

This crawler is about 3 years behind its time.

Everyone knows that the most flex and ground clearance possible makes the best crawler.

the average joe that is getting into the hobby doesn't realize that you don't need 90 degrees of articulation and 'soda can' ground clearance. that's why they buy crap like this. they simply just don't know any better.

Or someone actually might want that?

There is a market for anything, and he obviously knows how to make something that a select few want and get a giant profit out of it.

If it goes for around the starting price, I don't think it is too bad of a deal. It needs some work, but it has a decent foundation to it.

That thing will never handle well on the rocks. Its so obvious it needs more ground clearance.
