help me pick a rig!!!!

My freind skyjacker got me hooked on rc crawling and i would just like to know which rig i should start out with. he said a txt-1 but he always mod his cars before i can see how they do stock can anyone help me.

Since you are new, I will go easy.
Lurk around for a little while and just read through all of the post. After reading for a while you will be able to decide what RC you should buy.
I took the "Buy parts from different vehicles off of Ebay and piece together a rig that suites your taste." route.
That is what I would suggest to anyone. If you cant fab, then TXT-1.

There are already two threads of this exact nature on the first page even. Check those out and reply to them, you'll still get plenty of replies. Like me telling you to get a clod for simplicity, lower COG than anything else, tons of aftermarket and everything else ;)

im going to get a txt-1 and see if skyjacker will build me one of his all alluminuim crawler cages.

Build your own. build as much as you can. clods might be just slightly easyer because you dont have to deal with drive shaft, but they have the lower center of gravity on us that use the center tranny. The do you want it to be an all out performer, or are you like me and want it to be as realistic as possible and still fution and be fun. I get the most enjoyment out of it looking realistic, but thats just my preferance. There are a lot of posts up about this topic, so just take a few hours and read up... LOL

dam when i think about it. im all about looks. whats the fun it you dont have a real looking rig. i was thinking of having skyjacker built it for me but mabe he will teach me to weld. he is a nice guy im sure he would.

Yea he offered to help me with me electronics, so ask him if he still could do that. He was one of three people that were helping me with my project. He was always cool to me. I thought he was pretty funny myself.

you could always shoot him a email or i guess Guru and i can relay a message. but email would be faster.

[skipstr71]

Yea guru said he could help too. and I did shoot a PM over to him, but ity was before i knew he was banned. I live so close I was hoping to meet up and craw somtime but I get lost with electricity. If he can post again on the 10th, that would be about the time I'll be needing his help.

Anything you need to know about electricity we'll help. It aint to hard anyways.

TxT-1 all the way clods arent realistic enough for me, and they break to easily
