RPP has the best deal Ive found for a NIB kit and his shipping is only $8.99 and over $300 is free.

Kit is a simple 2 hour build from beginning to end and thats taking my time. Paint work isnt included ofcourse.

65-75t motors are the perfect blend of speed and torque.

most are in kit form but they do have the RTR Pajero if you feel like spending the extra money. the electrics included aren't the best for crawling either so you'll be spending even more money to replace those.

since you're in the cc01/xc forum I assume you want a pajero or wrangler. RPP has the best price, but the pajero is discontinued so you'll have to find someone that has one still in stock. check ebay (but price it including shipping!) for the pajero if thats what you're looking for. I dont think RPP has any left but you should check with him anyway just in case.

65t motor seems to be the ticket. On one of mine I also installed a gear reduction unit (RC4WD 4:1 reduction), which I highly recommend. My other has same setup with a 55t motor.
check this video of mine near the end (at 5:03) to see how slow it is with a 55t and 4:1 reduction unit.
