I was wondering what the cheapest way to get into crawling was? I already have a servo, receiver, radio, and esc. Looking for optionas under 150 maybe?

Maybe search eBay and craigslist for used or rollers.

The only way you can get that low is if you go buy a used roller, SCX10 or Vaterra, but then you'd have to know what you were in store

Otherwise, you can get an Axial Deadbolt RTR for around $250 and have the SCX10 platform to build off.

What bout the cc01? Is that good?

Cc01 are scale rigs. Not solid axle front end. They are made like a modern 4x4.solid rear axle and independent front. Getting in under 150 would be used rollers or look at the redcat line. They have one on ebay for around 130 rtr

I'm OK with a scaler too. Mostly going to be used for trail running

Cco1 are fairly cheap.if you don't mind Chinese knock offs see gearbest. Com look at hg p401 and hg p402.

towerhobbies is same price but then u can use the $27 off $249 coupon they have on their site.

but now that i've upped my budget to approx. 275 are there any other options? I'm not a big fan of the chinese ripoffs.

Axial deadbolt scx or ax.hpi crawler king, there is a nice cr01 on here for sale for 260,275 is a decent budget. Could get a used rtr ascender for that or under.mine was 220.plenty possibilities.

Buying a used rtr rig was how I got started in crawling. For the past couple years I have either bought used or traded items for my crawlers.

The most I have done is went to the Deadbolt RTR which I was able to pick at my LHS for $270.

I can't find a ax10 below 275 anywhere.. It like 330 at tower hobbies

Redcat racing Everest 10. It's like a ax10 knockoff rtr and under 140. The lockers can be replaced with axial parts.
