Nylint 1/10 Jeep crwalers any good?

[LowLock]

While I'm doing my research and plotting my SCX10 build, I ran across a guy selling a complete Nylint 1/10 jeep crawler, 1 almost complete, a chassis, electronics, and some spare parts for under a hundie. I remember the craze in the 1:1 Jeep crowd over these when they came out years ago, but wasn't into r/c crawling then.

My question is, how fun/good are these? Will they keep a smile on my face for a few months while I order and build my SCX10? Are they durable or upgradable? I looked for a forum area on them here but didn't see one, sorry if I missed it.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Your answer

Actually, what are you willing to spend on a temp crawler? You may have much better options that you don't know about.

Have you considered a used Losi micro/mini? You can at least resale them.
Several people like the Redcat's for a entry level crawler, I don't think they hold there value once used (I better put on my flame retardant suit!).

Thanks for the input, but for the 50 bucks I'm going to spend on the whole package RTR just to beat on for a few weeks, I was wondering if it's worth the money.

Temporary is an overstatement. I had one for a good 20minutes, them something broke and it was junk. Sold it to a guy that need partsand I got my AX. Wow, that was a while ago.

Thanks for the input guys, but I decided to pass on it, even for 50 bucks. They just don't seem good at any cost, even for temporoary use.
