Well, I dont have a crawler and never had an RC other then the cheap ole walmart ones when I was a kid, I was thinking of getting into the hobby. I had a 1:1 Jeep, but due to the economy... it had to go.

So far, as things stand... I am thinking I should get a used axial rtc or something close to it. I want something to see if I like RC crawling anywhere close to how much I like 1:1 crawling. Should I go with AX10, or losi MRC?

After I get used to the RC thing, I want to use the electronics and of course upgrade a little bit and build my own scale JK juggy. But before I do that, I will need to learn to braze.

Anyone have some good pictures of any juggys?

That looked more like just a buggy. What I am thinking is more along the lines of a hard JK front, to include the doors, close the back off sorta like a truck body, and tube and dovetail the rear with exo cage around the front.

Anyone have pics of anything like that?? Its gonna be damn hard. I've never done anything like that before. But, hey.... it will be fun.
