Ok...

I don't actually have a frame of reference for crawlers, so really anything goes. I've never been behind the wheel of one. It just looks fun.

I will take that advice and add it to my mental list.

Here's what I have so far.

-Barrage is cheap, has decent performance for the price, but looks toy-like.
-SCX10 and SCX10II won't have good parts support in a short time
-RC4WD is good but a bit to much $$$ for me.
-Barrage can be gotten as an MST for $90 more
-GMade is fine for a leafer, and has good parts support, is on AMain, and isn't -too much $$$.
-I will never buy Redcat.
-Ascender is really good but uses a shorty pack (which I don't like)

I may have forgotten something, but do you guys have anything to add?
