The two options for around $200 are the Losi 1/24 Trekker at about $150 and the Venom Creeper Safari @ around $230

I have the Redcat Super Crawler 1/8 Scale. I got it from www.redcatracingshop.com
Link: http://www.redcatracingshop.com/Redc...%20crawler.htm
It is only an FM TX/RX but for $219.00 you can't go wrong. It's 1/8 scale and so far for me works great. Also, that company give you 20% off Redcat parts if you buy the truck through them.
They also have the 1/10 Scale with 2.4GHz TX/RX for $155.99 but I went with the bigger one cause I figured I would upgrade TX/RX later anyway.

Red Cat does not make a scale truck. If they did I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. If your looking for a cheap scale rig I suggest the venom safari. Here is a link to a good price.

The body is a bit ugly and the electronics are not the best but its not a bad rig. Its basically a creeper with a different chassis and dig. Since its based on the creeper there are a fair amount of upgrades. There are nicer scale rigs out there but either they are overly popular like the axials or to expensive.

RE: scale crawler suggestions?!
yeah ive been noticing that price is a big factor and when your on a budget like me its hard finding a good budget crawler. i already have a hpi crawler king that i got on trade and after much tinkering with it i got it to crawl pretty decent, but i want something more scale and i think the creeper safari fits the bill. gonna be a few weeks before i have the fund to get it but im gonna get as much info in about it as i can before hand so there are no surprises when it arrives
