No Rock crawler is the best. Different types of crawlers will do different things. Its just a matter of apinion and What sort of things you will be crawling. Just search this read this forum and you will learn alot and you will also be able to decide on what things you want the run with  Regards james  Last edited by Moondust1950; 12-10-2006 at 10:13 AM. |

Glad someone finally said that. After watching the many videos of the nationals and other comps, there's some talented guys on here. It was also interesting to see what they drove, many were the same model with just minor differences. Therefore its more on the driver/opperator than the machine.

Well, no matter what eqipment you have there is no substitution(sp) for driver skill. Many of the champions drive Stick Style chassis, but that doesnt guarentee a win. |

For $4000.00 you have parts made, you don't buy them.

if you tried you could probably spend a grand in axles/components, top notch everything, alu cases, steel gears, cvds or ss shafts, then just read read read and figure out what kind of chassis you want, as above there is no best per say and what works for one person/terrain....blah blah blah
