What to buy

[freemachinist]

Hello forum users. I am in the market for a crawler. Someone please tell me how capable the little Losi crawlers are. I've seen the Youtube video, the seem to bounce around a bit compared to their full size brethren. I can see by all the pictures that have been posted, that they articulate very well and look BAD ASS. Do they crawl well? I am looking at a Rockslide Red cat RS10, the Axial Scorpion, the Venom creeper and then this LOSI.
On ebay I can get an RS 10 for $160, shipped to my door. The Losi is $240. Both need better batteries and the RS 10 needs new tires, servos and motors right out of the box.
Be honest, I want the unabashed truth. I want to buy only 1 crawler and I do not want it to break my wallet the way my HPI Savage does.
Thanks...
