| What Should I Purchase?
At this time I have about 700 dollars to spend on a new RC crawler and I already have 2 ax-10's and a honcho. I was wondering how much money it would cost and what electronics and accesories I would use to build a scale of my Dads new XRRA buggy he is building. Also, what size tubing I should use to build a chassis. If pictures are needed for this, I will post some but as of now None are in our computer documents. (I'm 13 years old) I have not built any RC Crawlers from the ground up so i pretty much have no idea what i'm doing. If anyone could make a list of items i would need to build a scale from the ground up and price range, that would be great. Thanks, Dillon |

Are you set up for tools yet? If not, that will probably eat a large chunk of your budget.

Why would you waste your time swapping a rotary motor INTO something? Most of the Rx7's Ive seen that are built, have been swapped out with a Ls1.

| You're exactly right. The RX7 doesn't build the power that a rock crawler needs in the low end. It's an old model RX7 motor too...still running the stock carburetor.
