Default What crawler should I get?

Hi, I'm Will,

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but this is my first thread!

I'm looking for a cheap crawler, and aiming to spend around £200-£250 ($300-$350 ) I would like to mount a Tamiya Hilux hard body onto this chassis, so the chassis would have to be rails?? I think?? The rig will run 1.5" wheels, and leafs, but with shocks too.

What I was preposing to do was buy a Maverick Scout Crawler (I think you guys would have heard of it??) and replace its 'Tower' chassis with rails, but would there be a chassis already like this or any other rigs that you guys would reccommend?

I wanted a Bruiser chassis, but they are out of my price range

Thanks in advance,
Will

Axial scx10.

They work great and are priced reasonably. You can't go wrong with that truck and the hilux body fits very nice...

Hope that helps!

i say buy a scx10 rtr (has rail type chassis) and slap a body on it. it comes with 1.9's but you can easily put 1.5's on it. the truck is in your price range too.

I agree with these guys, get an Axial SCX10 kit or RTR. Then you just slap the body you want on it and you are ready to go. Very easy.
