|  I'm not sure what we're calling micro, but here's what I've found. The mini giant is the best small crawler, but it takes a fair amount of work to get it there. The mini giant ended up at about $165 dollars after adding a gear reduction, a nex body and tires from a nylint. The nylint 1/18 is by far the simplest most cost effective crawler at about 40 bucks ready to go. Anyone who isn't totally sure they like crawling should go with the nylint.

| He said micro crawler. A stretched TLT is definitely not micro, I'm not even sure I would call the VMG a micro crawler. |

| I just picked up one of the fast lane ones from TRU. Anyone notice that they changed the design quite a bit from the models posted on this forum? |

| yeah, I was kinda bummed but the new ones are still tiny and pretty fun to drive. A lot more room for electronics too though which is a plus. |

| the new one is cool though. Tons of torque and its actually pretty quick for its size. About 1.5 inches of articulation stock too....disconnect the shocks and you can get about 3 inches....guess I need some longer shocks. Plenty of room for real electronics too so it looks like thats the route I will be going. |
