General crawling it can do great! extreme crawling then no because of its center of gravity and battery mounting position. It can be built into a very capable crawler though. Good luck

I gave up on my PRP fairly quickly. It looks cool as a chassis, but by nature of its design has fairly low ground clearance and short links. It is not really built to articulate, as the side plates get in the way and the links limit travel. My suggestion would be to try a less expensive Bulu chassis or make one of your own. The PRP is a little pricey at $170. I sold mine on eBay for nearly $200 (chassis and links only) because the chassis sells out so often. My most helpful suggestion would be to put your money elsewhere.

i would vote for the prp as long as you are aware of it's limitations, as already mentioned: low ground clearance, not as much artic as say a bulu2, stock battery location not the best. if you are going more for scale appearance and performance than you will like this chassis, but if you want a hardcore basher than as others have said you should look into the bulu. here are some pics of mine(used to be radishkid's) http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...4/tlt10004.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...4/tlt10007.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...4/tlt10002.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...4/DSCN0678.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...4/DSCN0677.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...4/DSCN0679.jpg |

Thanks for the input guys. I was looking for a chassis that comes with links or is very durabul as we dont have many or any resourses down in the islands and all the parts will have to be shiped so breaking is not an option, unless i caan fix it by my self
