Default Super kits or out of the box rigs??

Is there any?? All I can find is the Xtm X Crawler and that Integy junk. I would do a scratch build, but dont really have the time or the funds to piece it all together. Anyone know of any nice kits or rtc's?

You can piece together a super for what a kit will run you if not cheaper if you find a used artr or roller someone is selling.



Really its not that much time or money....

Redcat Racing has their Rockslide 8th scale crawler. The new Ground Pounder solid axle monster will also have a crawler conversion available soon.

Ive never had a super before. My 1st two crawlers I built from scratch and they seemed like endless money pits (Which all Rc's tend to be). I just figured a kit or even a Rtc would be a good base to start.
Plus I dont know as much about Supers, all the ones Ive owned were 1/10th scale or smaller. Maybe Ill have to look more into it though. There is enough time here in Mn. for a winter build yet

Default super/2.2 builder

I would also be willing to build one if skillz or tooling is an issue for u. I build the super 300's and have a very interesting super and am getting ready to build another for fun. I love these things.

as far as a kit rtr, i wouldnt bother. if u want something that is competitive, build it.

As said above, RC4WD has the two:

1/6 "Killer Crawler"


1/8 "Rockbull"

my XTM is Ok...I would have much rather have the rock bull as it prolly doesnt have the design flaws the xtm has. rebuilding mine as we speak and i just got the thing a few months ago...gears broke first...shocks leaking. hell im gonna have too much in this thing just to get it worthy of bashing around much less comping

I bought the 1/5 "Killer Crawler" and I am pleased with it.

The 21" wheelbase and 8.62" tires really shines on the larger boulders we have localy.

I just don't understand why some folks want a wheelbase limit......

18" just dosen't work quite as well.

Hey MnCrawler I wouldn't get in a hurry here your defiantly going to get a better rig if you take your time do the home work and get the right one.
