if you can make it into a 2.2, than i would do it. and if not. its still a good little play around crawler.

I think you will be in for a lot of disappointment in your search for the "Golden RC". If you got into it thinking you would never spend another dime on parts, fuel, maint. etc. you made a mistake. The Ciff Climber (just like the Tmaxx) is a great rc. However, it will need repair. It will break. You will have to spend money to keep it up. Which direction and how much you are willing to put into it is entirely up to you.

well parts i dont care about when i have the money. I just dont have a huge interest in the nitro world. So if you could tell me which is better in performance the scorpion or mini that wouldbe great

ever thing has its disadvantages and advantages. i started of with the cc then i built a shafty tuber. i prefer the shafty more torque power and climbs every thing. but its slow not so fun for jst bashin and driven around. the cc needs alot to be competitive but it can be done. i just use mine for playin around with. the losi out of the box has its own class and is competitive and now has many hop ups. so its up to you wat u want.

i would also find a club near u or a store and ask if they have ny that u can test run. im fortunate enough to have two hobbie store not terribly far away that have some foam rocks to test your stuff on

this thing is unstoppable. Oh I am also running cobalt motors, lots of speed
