Does anyone know which crawler is best for a southern rock bouncing in the back yard type terrain? I love watching Madram11 youtube channel now me and a couple of guys are wanting to build some muddy rocky dirty hillclimbs in the back yard. Im looking for a good crawler that is not going to break the bank (250$-350$ range) that i can upgrade a little at a time and I need your opinion. here is a video clip of the style of driving that we like. Also this is what we are building in the back yard.

if you want a rig that looks like that , theres vendors on here that fab them up.

That's how I drive my Wraith! LRP brushless w/21.5T on 2s lipo and shoots hills just like that.

Yea I would say Wraith too. Probably a little over your budget and I guarantee if you drive like that you will need some upgrades to hold the thing together!

Mine has an all stock drive-train and I don't baby it, no breakages yet.

The slipper is your friend when you are playing with more power or going faster. They don't just put it in there to piss people off.

I would also say a Wraith. Its a scaler, a crawler, and a basher all in one...

bmangdog · 11-28-2011, 07:47 PM

Wraith.

ADDICTED CRAWLER · 11-28-2011, 07:53 PM

Well survey says Wraith they are bada55!!

azyoytota · 11-28-2011, 08:46 PM

That's some crazy rd wheeling!

donhd04 · 11-29-2011, 10:35 AM

I appreciate the return response guys. thanks. I really love the looks of the wraith but i think i like the looks of the rock buggy with a tube chassis better. I still want to do some technical stuff also so what about a AXIAL AX10 scorpion and slowly build it up as i go? Would it be a good dual purpose rig?

azyoytota · 11-29-2011, 10:59 AM

You can build a solid ax10 over time and there's a ton of aftermarket tube chassis to choose from. the prob with the dual purpose rig would be wheel spin.

ev0l · 11-29-2011, 01:47 PM

You want an AX10 with a DMG tube chassis!

Here is my daurghters build:

Southern Buggy on the Cheap

Hpi 15t motor is plenty fast on 2s. The R1 cage can take the abuse as well. One of the most fun rigs I have built.

johnnyh66 · 11-30-2011, 11:15 AM
