I have been thinking about putting one of the 3.3 tmaxx's I have up for trade for a decent crawler me and the boy have been wanting to jump in and try crawling out.. We both wanted something realistic looking something like a 80's chevy or a dodge.. what does everybody think????? I love the maxx's but got acouple and one of them has less then a half gallon on it and is pretty much brand new still..
 
i got the built classic and my origional 3.3 this one is bone stock and i got another classic i am going to start putting back together soon...
 
Is that about right in dollar's ? Because there normally about 130 over here . English pounds that is .
 
my phone has a converter but its abreviation on what currency it is I know in eur its 124.24 and gbp its 85.78
 
You always couls if you are looking to get into a new genre of RC. Beason traded a Revo for a crawler a couple years ago. Nothing wrong with that at all.
 
Well you have two maxx's, there's two of you, and racin by yourself is boring..... keep the maxx, buy a crawler, then start looking for another so you don't have to crawl by yourself.............
 
well I got the kids and the old lady that all have their own nitro but it is fun to get them on one of the tmaxx's with me from time to time...... I just have so many wants I can never make up my mind and I kinda kick myself for the jato I sold this winter and the 3.3 I sold a few months ago until I got that new one.. the kid bought it the day he saw mine and then he held onto it for about 4monnths never ran it then sold me everything he bought for a decent deal..... I will never get another one for the price for how new it was but I wanna start crawling too.....

Hey if anyone has an extra crawler I can say it's my birthday..... l.o.l. I was thinking of talking to my lhs and seeing what they might do with me either for it or for a credit line... I spend enough money there.... crap just this christmass I spent 1200 or so in one day.......
 
I have alot of fun with my Tmaxx, I say keep it and buy a crawler.
 
+1 on jb. You'll kick yourself like you did the others. I still have all of mine from the 80's. Keep it and buy the crawler. Tower hobbies has the easy pay, interest free.
 
If you'll still have a MT to bash with, I say get rid of one of the extras and get yourself a crawler.

Easy pay is going to be the death of me. Still paying for my .21TM, now I have a Rustler on Easy Pay...thank goodness they don't offer it on the Jato, or else that'd be on there, too.
 
I will have to look at the easy pay at tower hobbies and see if i think i can make it work..... I just have a real hard time ever selling anything..or even trading for that matter cause I might want what they are offering but i know how much fun me and the family have with the rigs we have....

I want to get a realistic looking crawler something like a chevy,dodge,toyota, or almost any antique truck..... does anyone have an idea for a good all around starter crawler???? me and the boy will be using this on the crawling course I am building on the back yard on the hill ( pic.s of the starting of that on my profile) For practice and to learn the patients of crawling with less presure of being around alot of people that crawl all the time..... any input welcome and thanx I am def. going to buy unless I have a deal thrown at me I can't say no to....... But I really like going new and I wouldn't mind building a kit, my son likes hanging out with me and putting stuff together, so thats half the fun now adays...

Those are just the ones I like the looks of has anyone used any of these and any advise???? Thanks
 
I like door #3 the wraith. I just read a review on it in rcca and I was impressed. Its built for speed and crawling. I'm gonna say it, the integy rig looks cool too.
 
yeah the wraith is pretty cool looking and I read a couple reviews on it aswell.... my lhs has a similar type of rock racer I think it was called just alittle different setup if I remember corectly...... I didnt think picking one crawler would be so hard but there is alot of stuff to look at to help make a decision..... it almost like work l.o.l

does anyone know of any other sites that does that easy pay???? at tower hobbies only one of the crawlers I was looking at has it the only thing is its not the one I realy really want.....
 
Matt never rid yourself of any toys you own always add to them.(He who dies with the most toys wins!!!!!!!!)Oh and usally once you sell something you kick yourself in the ass later.:hehe:
 
that is definetly the truth!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss my little jato.... and it makes it worse cause I sold it to a friend and I have watched him ruin it basicaly.. he broke front arms like 5 times or more always 5 min or so into the run.. and then he blew the motor he did a real good job at breaking everything on it..... The worst part is I sold it to him so i had someone to run with and I never got to run even a 1/4 of a tank while he was around..... OH wait we had one day but he was constintly running after it so I tried to push it with the tmaxx and ran over it once not completly because I had reverse but he was still pissy with me...... its not like I was trying to ruin anything... and then a couple min. later he was broke down and out of comishion again.....
So I guess I not only miss the rig but i feel bad for the life it has now l.o.l.:(
 
No other "easy pay" sites that I know of. I have talked to my lhs, private owned ones" , and some do offer a layaway program with a down payment. Just a thought. Let us know what you pick .
