your better off making one yourself. these things arent cheap. good luck finding one though.
 
I've seen one of the stick and boy do i want one
 
I am not crazy about the stick chassis, they are pretty much for serious comps. I wanted something more rounded, something I could crawl or just run around with. What price range are you looking to be in?
 
300 is pretty low Rusty.
Some of these crawlers cost $1500.00 to build.
You might have better luck getting a used TXT, Clod, or something like it and making into what you want.

Why don't you put out a number for your budget so people can offer you something to your liking if they can.

Better yet Why did you waste my time?Posting pics....I posted the dollar amount...
 
I know you wanted a price of 300...These owners tried building these up and have taken real good care of their rigs. FYI Some of the the chassis alone can run up to 300. For 300 IMO Ebay or walmart may be your best bet. A new cheap crawler or a possible fixer upper on Fleabay.
 
I doubt it highly if you will find a crawler for under 300, unless you go to wally world and get a nylint. But a decent esc to power two motors, and 1-2 packs is gonna be in the 130-150 range alone. Then a good set of axles, another 100-125, servos, figure cheap, 645s, another 100, radio, receiver, rims tires, chassis, etc. etc. etc. You aint gonna get an rtr cralwer in that price range, sorry man.
 
If you really want a crawler for 300 bucks i would sugest a tlt. After you get it ditch everything except the axles. Then buy a bender customs sw2 chassis. This will require an electric Traxxas stampede trans. Then you can wither use dog bones as your drive shaft or the revo shafts. That right there is a little under 200 bucks. Then after you have all that get some ok electronics and wheels and that will hit you at about 300 bucks give or take.

Here is the tlt for 80 bucks

Here is the SW2 chassis
http://bendercustoms.com/chassis.htm

I too have also wanted one for a while but dont have crawler money. This is one of the cheaper but reliable set ups alot of people use.
 
I also have a tlt with a sw2 chassis and it is great it did cost alot up front... You are looking for it to cost you about $400 You could go cheaper then I did and maybe get the price down to $300 if you are good.
 
I have a twin force crawler with

gd 600 gear reduction unit
55 turn lathe motor
emaxx driveshafts
locked diff's front , center and rear
savage shocks
aluminum 4 link suspension
aluminum center servo mount ( on top of the center of the front axle)
hobbico cs70 servo
futaba 2pl radio
rooster esc ( fresh back from novak)
fresh h2 body
terra crusher wheels and tires

I know it's a little over what you want to spend but i'd sell for $400 + shipping usps priority .
