    Mr. Rocket - I have 4 crawlers. (You'll probably need to open an account on rccrawler.com to view most of these pics...)
    1 - 1.9 VX 1/10 scale hard body TLT-1 (Work in progress because the guy who sold me the VX body lied about it's dimensions. I started an exo-cage and then moved on to my 2.2 crawler. No pics yet.)
    2 - 2.2 HPI Wheely King tuber of my own design using 3/16" brake line as the cage - Works pretty well for a scaler actually!
    3 - 3.2 Kyosho Mad Force (Rock N' Rat Rod) (Using a drill motor with a 2-speed planetary trans switched by a servo. Also work in progress.)
    4 - 40-Series CEN Nemesis Super Class (all aluminum with a wacky gizmoiness concept - stopped when I went over $1000 in parts.)

    Here is the craziest crawler I think I have ever seen: Intense

    rccrawler.com is the big site - but there are others to peruse. We have two local sites here in Utah. There are some UK sites I believe as well. Check out these vendors:

    http://rcpcrawlers.com/home.php
    http://www.montanascaledesigns.com/shop/index.php
    http://www.tcscrawlers.com/

    I think most ship over seas...

    The best bang for the buck, IMO, is the Venom Creeper

    Holy Cow, the hobby of RC-Toys can get frickin' outa-hand really quick!!! Just like Little Beast said-- a damn money pit to throw away wasted money. As a grown man, I've got better things to spend my money on. No thanx.

    I tried so hard to get one of those bodies! I searched all over and finally ordered one from a shop in Netherlands for $40 or so. I received a BMW Z3 - broken. They never returned my money or sent me the VX body or any response. Another guy contacted me from rccrawler regarding VX stuff and he thought he found a supplier to ship us several so I ordered 3 - luckily we never exchanged money cuz I never heard from him again. The Smartech Rocke has been out of production for years so be careful of online shops that claim they still carry it or you might end up like me with a broken BMW.
