Im new to the world of crawling and cant decide what to get! my first idea was tamiya toyota tundra, then i was thinking of the 6x6 worminator from rc4wd and now im thinkin the tamiya unimog! If anyone has any suggestions on the best scale crawler for a beginner please help me! |

Have you looked at any of the Axial scalers? They are quite nice and Proline makes several nice bodies that fit them....

i think too much as well. go with the scx10, great platform to base a scale build off. |

Another vote for the scx10, its fun to put together, and insanely fun to drive. However, if this is going to be your first crawler, you will have a blast with anything you get. You can always upgrade later.

Axial all the way. Most capable performance. Easy to build/work on. Great parts availability. Super fun! |

SCX10 is definitely the popular choice, easy build, and very durable! I own two of them along with the highlift Tundra and the CC-01. I think the CC-01 was the easiest build but it takes more work to make it crawl. Stock motor/esc is too fast and not enough torque. Plus does not include ball bearings. The highlift Tundra is fun too but it takes a lot of time to build. My particular Tundra took over a month of acquiring upgrades, building, and configuring...especially since I have their multi-function unit. Here's mine to show you what the Tundra can become: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7-JYbYrwWc I definitely DO NOT recommend it as a first build. How much are you looking to spend?

Might as well throw my $0.02 in . The scx-10 is a great truck for a beginner or a novice . It has tons of aftermarket support . These trucks are very capable and tunable . You cant go wrong with the scx-10 . Its an easy build for a newb also . The other rigs mentioned are also good , but the scx-10 is a better performer OTB IMO .
