Default Good monster truck/rock crawler?

I'm just looking for somthing that will own all terrain like a rock crawler or monster truck but is cheap. I was really interested in the traxxas 1/10 scale summit until i saw the price. i would prefer electric, brushless or not i dont care. i just want somthing along those lines for a cheap price. Any suggestions are appreciated in advance.

Thanks
Anthony

Wheely king ftw!

You will have to do some modding if you want it to crawl well.

yea i agree the HPI wheely king sounds perfect for you. its cheap, and does all terrains, and is much faster than a crawler

the axial rock racer will do the trick as well.
or even a axial scorpion. if you want alittle more speed, just put a larger pinion gear on. if you want to do more difficult crawling, put a small pinion gear on it.
you can gear the truck to do 10-15mph while still being able to go over some rocks, stumps, wood and the like.

buy XL-5, buy a rx box, buy traxxas 2070 servo
remove the EN-1, remove the HPI servo. Put in the traxxas XL-5, and 2070. Than find a spot to mount waterproof RX box, and viola waterproof electronics are installed.

Things that won't be waterproof are the tranny, and diffs.
I've toyed with the idea of getting a wheely king for the winter, but other things that completely drained me financially popped up
