|  It all depends on what you want. First figure out what size rig you want. If you want a super, do you want a shaftie? Everyone on here will help you out but you will have to choose a direction. I would go with a Clod since they are an awesome truck. If you have an Emaxx you could convert that too... |

Yeah, you really need to choose what you want before you ask anything. Do a little searching. This type of question has been covered countless amount of times.

With a clod, you can either build a super or a 2.2. I would get a 2.2 tlt if i were you. I got one and it is great, easy to build and very fun to drive.

http://www.thecrawlerstore.com/geartrain.html The axels are $140 new, you can probably save $20 to $40 going to ebay for used ones. Then pick a chassis, wheels, electronics, etc.... | |

The Tracer uses the stock TLT transmission - you're not much better off with it vs. a stock TLT chassis.

I would order an XRC chassis and links from Dave at the link below. Check out his Clod super! http://www.xtreme-rc-hobbies.net/ The Verticle Smile, SW2, Stick, pimp slap, etc will all work too... | |

If your not wanting to spend a lot of money to start out with, you gotta look at the wheelie king 4x4. You get everything you need for a crawler and by just picking up a few more items you can build yourself a cool shaftie. |
