Super Low Budget Crawler
I have around $50 and would like to make a crawler. I don't need to get the electronics yet. But I have a few questions.
First off, how far will $50 get me? Second what should I start doing first. I can do some custom stuff but only have a dremel with limited attachments and a drill. Any other help is appreciated. I am brand new to Rock Crawling.

$50 wont get you far you could possibley get a set of axles for that(cheapest I have seen them go were $67).I would do a search on ebay to look for a chassis since your equipment is limited there have been home made chassi go for as little as $30.

Well what Kind of RC truck do you have? I found this guy he gave me locked IFS axles 18 dollars. He makes custom suspension links and chassis alll together for about $70. Which you can put one tire up on a pop can and all the wheels will touch.
