Best price for a X-Crawler??
 
I wanted to check with you folks... best price, and where to get it? Tower shows that it is discontinued. I was hoping to snag one before they are gone!

i just purchased 1 and i got it from hobbypeople.net
they have the cheapest price, and good service

Dont buy one, they are discontinued already for a reason! the axles are junk, the gears all separate in the gearbox. Overall quality is chincy... The trucks list prices dropped $100 and then $50 at a time within 2 months, I assume its because of the lack of quality, but people are still tryin to unload them now for the 450 they got them for. I think list now is $299... I guess they must not have tested them. just my .2 cents!! I personally would wait until something nicer comes out as an entry level crawler kit. Or hell go to RCPCrawlers they sell the Hustler chassis as a roller with their Stage 2 Clod axles that are proven quality for not much more than the XTM costs. I also heard some rumor somewhere that Axial was working on a super class? may be totally false.... Again this is just my opinion, I dont mean to insult any XTM owners that like the trucks! (I sold mine before ever running it due to the horror stories)

Good luck! "thumbsup"

the two main problems are-weak axles which has been fixed. also there is a gear issue which ive found a fix for and now the truck feels un stopable. i would still get one and send me the gears and ill fix them for cheap. ;-)

I was really just looking for a BIG crawler... just for fun! I won't be dropping alot of money into it. I really like the Hustler, but it seems to sold out? Maybe im not looking hard enough? The Irock sure seems to be a really bad idea soo.... im lost? I just wish somebody would put out a BIG shaft driven crawler!! Thanks for all the info!

What ever you do dont get the irock. my buddy got one and the gears in both axles striped out within 5 hrs of use. the x crawler is realy reliable after fixing the gears. i have bound the heck out of my tires (enough to flip the truck on level ground) and no problems here.
