Default new to crawling

Well, i have been into the crawling scene for a while now, but now is when i jump into the water and really build a crawler.
my question is this...

which chassis should i get?

the rockbull full metal kit
or
the rcguy gecko 2 chassis

which is better? what is recommended...

also if i do get the rockbull, where would i put the battery? and is it ok for the electronics to sit on the battery pack if i put the battery on the chassis rather than the front upper links?

is there any down sided to either chassis?

ty for the time, and any answers to the questions would be greatly appreciated.

all answers will help me in buying a chassis.

Josh

I would go with the gecko (micoengineering.com), its better known. or, you could go with the NN, its cheaper than the gecko, has about the same abilities, and is also well known. The website is for the NN is thecrawlerstore.com

are those your 2 only choices? look in the vendors section, i could also reccomend CPE they have the EVO and the CLAW chassis , very nice crwling chassis, the NN is also a nice chassis, there is also the vertical smile, these are all great for crawling
