Default New to This hobby but not the sport

Hello everyone! Looking to get into the rc crawler world. I am an avid offroader and run the rocks in Moab in an rzr s. I am amazed at these rc crawlers!

Im new to RC crawlers too but not to offroading..... maybe we can learn a bit together lol. I bought an AX10 RTC love it so far having solder issues currently though. My current offroad project in my 95 YJ pulling the stock 4 cylinder and putting in a EFI rebuilt 5.0 out of a ford pickup

Being it's only a roller, I would say you could buy the super Bully axles, and a chassis, and build it yourself for much cheaper.
Also, that's a super class crawler, while there's nothing the matter with a super class rig, by far the most popular competition class is the 2.2 class.
I would look at the Axial XR10, or for a shafty rig, the Axial AX10. Both 2.2 class rigs, and both could about be fully built for what the Rockbull roller will cost.
