I picked up a 5th wheel trailer, in the winter time put it at my favroite spot for the summer (small hidden lake) here in ontario, i have a 1/2 acre of rocks and stones, the trailer sits up on a rock face theres splenty of dirt and trails around as well. my problem is id like a tamiya 3 speed but they all seem really expensive 500+$ is there anything else out there for cheaper that would make a nice crawler/trail truck?, i dont want just a desinated crawler tho,

hmm
a cheap one that might work would be a Traxxas stampede for $180 USD

A E-Savage would be better seeing its 4wd or an HPI wheely king(has a solid axel). Both are under $400

If your doing rock climbing I wouldn't recommend sensorless brushless motors like the VXL I linked above, seeing they cog(stutter) at low speeds. The 3 before the VXL are brushed and should do rock climbing fine though.

I think Tamiya has some but sadly I'm not very familiar with their product line in 4WD trucks that could potentially rock crawl.

SCX10.
Perfect for what your looking for.. Just add your electrinics to what you want it for and your good to go.

Tamiya cc-01 if you like oldschool, or the honcho rtr is $299

SCX10. I have the Honcho Trail Ready (rtr) and upgraded it to 4-link using Traxxas E-maxx links and rod ends.

Pretty good for a 4x4 trail rig. It can do some rock crawling too if you come across in that tough stuff. I think compared to the CC-01 (from what I have seen) it's infinitely more capable off-road due to its more modern front and rear solid axle suspension and articulation, as compared to the CC-01's IFS setup and more old school transmission setup.

Now I'll fess up and admit I don't OWN a CC-01 but I am sure just from the way it's setup/designed, the SCX-10 would just be more upgradable and flexible for whatever you could want to do with it.

just watch ebay and get a ax10, or scx10

i'd save the cash and go with a Tamiya 3 speed, although some of these trucks are nice, they just dont match the scale-ness of a Tamiya [8D]

and you'd be surprised what they can pull! [X(]

My Feedback: (1)

hpi crawler king, not a full blown crawler but it can still crawl but nothing comp worthy, and they're cheaper than a comp rig

scx10, with a tamiya 3 speed body (350,tundra,hilux) will leave a hi-lift for dead on the rocks and look just as good doing it.

Must say scx10 with a cherokee body is pretty sweet too

edit I own an cc-01 and an ax10, cc-01's are fairly capable if you like to tinker.

I agree with positron, the SCX10 is the way to go for a decently priced trail truck. You can always upgrade parts later.

Also check out RC4WD.com if you're into trail trucks. Their stuff is expensive but worth looking at.
