| best bang for the buck???
i am new at the rc crawler side of stuff but not to four wheeling/offroading, i am in the process of building a 2.2 tube chassis out of solid 1/8 rod and my mig welder but on a college budget i can't affort the latest and greatest parts to put in it. i can fab/make alot of things but what would be the best and cheapest speed controller, motor, tranny, servos etc that i could build a good crawler on a budget... I was thinking mostly wheely king based but tell me what u guys think... ur the experts... Last edited by bigredneck61088; 03-31-2008 at 04:08 PM. Reason: spelling |

Servo- buy new from JP in the vendors area, MG946r for $20 Find yourself a used 55t lathe motor, probably looking at about $15-20 shipped. ESC, again, find a used TR2, Super Rooster, or newer Rooster used for anywhere from $45- 65 shipped. Trans, you could buy a used pede or new Axial, $25- 40 shipped | |

also look on some of your local rc forums for some parts. Rc is an addiction so most are into racing and wheeling.
