Look for a Traxxas TQ3 on Ebay. Then get a Tower Pro 995 servo as well.

Spend the extra money and buy the Airtronics MX-3.

You should be able to get a Traxxas TQ3 in excellent condition on Ebay for around 30-40 bucks. The MX-3 is nice (I have one) and I got mine on the Bay a few years back for $75. The TQ3 is easier to modify for rear-steer than the MX-3 as well. The TQ3 is also AM (can be glitchy) and the MX-3 is FM (rock solid; no glitching). If you wanna get a nice FM radio and are willing to spend about 60 bucks or so. Looks for the JR XR3. It's FM and it will do independent rear-steer with no modifications. They go for around 60 bucks on Ebay I think. DO NOT GET THE XR3i. It must be the XR3 (NO "i").


Those Tower Pro servos go for around 20 bucks I believe. You can get the Tower Pro servos in the Vendors section.

Thanks to spammers, new guys gotta have 30 posts before they can see the classifieds. There's TQ3 radios for sale there regularly.

Does the JR XR3 come with reciever and servo?

Depends on what you can find on Ebay. Usually people sell the radio with the receiver, but if you do find one with a servo, it won't work in a crawler anyway (most likely). Your best bet is to get the Radio/Receiver on the Bay and then get one of those TowerPro 995 servos from a vendor on here.
