Default Gettin back into crawlin again

Ok guys I'm just getting back into crawlin. I did it for a while a few years ago and then lost intrest and sold all my rc stuff. So the question is what is the best setup i can get with about $300-400. I'm interested in a MOA just because i never drove one. But i still like shafys too. So lets hear what you guys think.

Your budget is a little too small to start from scratch and find anything decent as far as an MOA crawler goes. The $500-600 range is about right for a used rig with everything but you are going to have to settle for some less that great components.

well like i said I'm just getting started so I don't mind having to wait to get the rest of the parts. I'm looking for a good ARTR for starters and everything else will come as time goes on. I know i can get a junk RTR for that price range but its not what i want.

I would check craigslist, I have bought a few ax10's on there lately for around $300 and been really happy.

What do y'all think about the creeper? Is it a comp worthy rig? I know not out of the box. I've looked in the venom threads and a lot of people are building them and they look pretty cool and seem to do well for the $. I know they need upgrades as any other rig would. But what do y'all think.

PASS! If you want a shafty then buy and AX-10 hands down without question. I have owned the creeper and wouldn't consider buying another one again.

Well like I said I'm still in the decision making process so all feedback is good to me. What about the rtr bully or the mk42 I really want a moa rig but depends on funds.
