Default Looking for new Rock Crawler

Hi Guys,
I am currently looking for a Rock Crawler. I am new to rock crawling and little confused about the whole thing. I looked at some website shortlisted them:
1. Diablo 1/10 Crawler with DIG at RC4WD.com. (KIT)
Will this support 4 Wheel steering and reverse.Do I have to use RC4WD electronic and radio because I am planning to use Futaba 4pk? Can it be shipped to INDIA?

2. Red Cat Rockslide Super crawler 1/8 (RTR)

3. Wheely king Conversion (RTR)

4. King Crawler 1/6 at RC4WD.com (KIT)
Will this have DIG and 4 wheel steering and reverse. Do I have to use RC4WD electronic and radio because I am planning to use Futaba 4pk? Can it be shipped to INDIA?

Current budget $500 USD. Please help. Please feel free to suggest any other crawler that I dont know.

Have you looked at the Axial crawlers?

These are a good starting point for building a competitive crawler.

This one is the ARTR (just add electronics)

The new Losi will hopefully be out next month and it should pretty much make everything else obsolete if your looking for a comp crawler.

the new Lodi crawler looks very promising. Try to find a local meet on rccrawler.com to see what all of the local groups are running.
