|  Crawler for a kid
I am looking for a crawler of some sort in the $100-150 range for my 6 year old daughter to drive around while we are out playing in the rocks. Needs to be able to do mild trail work and be a little tough as she is just learning, Any suggestions?

I'd say a AX10. You can pick up a good used one from the Classified section for about that much. When you get it, gear it way down or put a 55/65T motor on it and you'll be good!

Go with a solid 2.2 like a AX10 or LNC. A friend of mine let his boy run a MRC and he broke just about every moving part in the truck in a matter of minutes.

I would suggest a redcat rs10 for bang for the buck  also a MOA RIG they are great there are a few guys that did 540 conversions and a punk dig and can whoop up on a few of the bergs. you will need to replace the stock steering servo though other then that ive seen them run hard and put away working Last edited by Jrob; 11-25-2011 at 08:52 PM. |

i have one that i mess around with and they are very capable and plenty for what you're doing, and if you want to play it EXTREMELY safe you can unlock the diffs to keep her from breaking axle-shafts. but down the road you can upgrade it as well. | |

Do they make the Venom Creeper in anything but a kit (besides the Safari)? Would like to have a RTR version.
