Buy one of these. Everything including the radio comes with it. This will get you started and you'll have a solid rig to modify later on. http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Axial-AX1...2-p-16753.html |

Good things about the axial RTR...it's price and the ability to resell if it turns out crawling isn't for you. RC rock crawling is a blast  Enjoy. Also check out the vendors section. |

You will probably want to get the axial ready to run it will help get you into the hobby with everything you need (besides a battery and charger)I suggest getting it here as they have a price you cant beat. then after you get a feel for the hobby you can upgrade and modify it as you choose, learning along the way. |

I have the Scorpion RTR. I really like it alot. easy to modify and a good truck to learn how to crawl.

thanks for all the info I am on a 300-400 max budget and I definitely dont wont a competition rig. I would want something basic enough but could still be modded down the line if i feel the need to.
