I would recommend waiting for the new Losi 2.2 crawler !
check it out - http://www.losi.com/Content/Tours/CompCrawler/tour.html

Dirby · 01-05-2009, 07:54 PM

yeah i had looked at that but when i added up what they recomended to get with that crawler it was right at 700.00.
bit to much for the price of admission right now.

666 · 01-05-2009, 07:56 PM

Well what is your budget and what are your plans?

blackradon · 01-05-2009, 09:36 PM

mmmm losi 2.2 crawler....Om nom nom nom

but ya, i bit more info on your behalf would help out fosho, like 666 said.

Get something from the classified section here.Great deals and rigs that are built better than what you get out of a box, and cheaper than what you'd pay if you built it brand new. Most of what's here is built my folks whove just wanted tp start something new. I got 2 crawlers and some parts "with radios and new parts and batteries for less than $800! And that's 2 RTR outfits that are aftermarket parts through out.
Not to mention you help out fellow crawlers that help you.

i have about 300.00 and am not going to compete.
what about the losi mini rock crawler?
is this any good?

morg59jeep · 01-06-2009, 05:38 PM

I love mine. $300 will get you the truck RTR and a set of blue compound tires. (must have)

BLUEJEEP · 01-06-2009, 06:10 PM

Dirby I too recomend the classifieds. Get an Axial based rig and when the competion bug bites you'll be able to compete. Eventually you will want to compete. I assume you live in Dothan Al. there are a bunch of good guy's in Bama to show you the ropes.

Dirby · 01-06-2009, 09:40 PM

where can you get the best price on a Losi mini rock crawler and some Blue tires too?
thx Dirby.
i tried Tower but got nothing.

morg59jeep · 01-06-2009, 10:10 PM

rcpcrawlers.com and tcscrawlers.com both have them and both have the tires. If I cant support my LHS I try to support the crawler oriented sites next.

bigflex · 01-07-2009, 03:26 AM

the mini losi is cool. Especially if you don't have alot of big rocks arround you.

Ryanbored · 01-07-2009, 03:58 AM

I'd also recomment the Axial. You really can't go wrong, plus they are establised so they're available in good nick for not alot of cash. Also look at everything available to make them competitive.

JamieB · 01-07-2009, 06:48 AM

I would say save a tiny bit more and do a low budget Axial. If $300 is your max, I think the Losi MRC looks pretty cool as well.

Dirby · 01-10-2009, 12:58 PM

well i took your advice and went to the clasafids and found an Axial A10 and stayed with in my Budget.
now i may need some tires.
ok there are a zillion choices out there.
i have come up with 3 choices.
Losi Claws.
H B rovers.
Proline Hammers.
whic one would you choose and where would be the Best place to get them.
thx Dirby

BEAST02 · 01-10-2009, 01:07 PM

it really depends on how much you want to spend, what your expectations of the truck you are wanting are, my advice....save up and get something you wont be disappointed in
