Caster use to make some quality racing rigs, this might be a decent rig.

It looks like a Twin Hammers humped an Exo.

Looks like:
Exo front bumper
Exo Tires
Exo rear light bar
Exo Cage
Exo Wing

Twin Hammers rear axle
Twin hammers front suspension

Slash nerf bars

I don't see anything "crawler" in it other than the name.
To me this seems as much of a crawler as the Axial EXO Terra, which is a short course rig...

I'd give it a little more credit since it has a solid rear axle.

Wider than a twin hammers and longer too. Should look good with some 1.9 wheels.

I think they are trying a new market. My caster racing dt10 is light compared to the exo. Has also held up to my abuse more then a exo ever did.

Caster makes good rigs. They made a truggy that was very close to my old Mugen MBX6T. A few guys I knew swore by Caster.

Competition is good.

If its anything like my last few caster rigs. Very little needs to be messed with. Diffs are hardend gears. 550 4pole motor waterproof hobby wing esc. Aluminum shocks that are butter smooth.

All I know is they could have picked a better name than "Speedy Crawler".
