mine






















hehe, um yeah...that is a very broad question. And there is no "best" because different people like different things. I like simplicity, so I went with a clod. If you like a more to scale crawler, then a TXT would be better. Just depends. Both are good crawlers.

Yah i dont care about having a "scale" rig. That is what my tlt is for.I am thinking of making a clod they seem like they have the most aftermarket parts.

clods have been around forever and always will have the best aftermarket support. If you wanna make a good big truck they are the "best" one that fit into that broad term.

Clods are good if you like fixing broken parts all the time and the fact that a blindfolded monkey could build a Clod crawler.

A Twin Force,TXT or Maxx would be a better choice.

Exactly why I like my clod, I can work on it blindfolded and eat a banana at the same time . I've been driving it for 9 months and have not broken anything except a TRAXXAS rod end.

A shaft will break a stick. Go have some fun with your Dust Buster.

Once fully modded clods are probably the most capable but you say "scale"
I dont know about you guys but its not often i see a car with a motor hanging of each axle. For a scale truck get a TXT-1. Clods are evil

Scale in this case means size, not scale down to the turn signals and seat belts.

Hes probably right but it takes a lot of modding to get to that point.

If you mean small scale crawlers by "little ones" then i already have a tlt and now want a txt or somthing like that.

Best large scale crawler? I would have to believe that the NYLINT crawler is the best out of the box value in crawling. Now before I get pummeled with stupid newbie remarks notice I said value. there are plenty of rigs that go more places and are easier to modify and supe up but none that are as easy on the pocket book to get started with. Drop the 150 get hooked then do your homework and figure out what direction you want to go.
