You've got a hundred bucks and every budget crawler list is padded with trucks that are really $180 with a battery. Here's what's actually worth it under $100, and what's cheap for a reason: https://senditslow.com/guides/best-budget-rc-crawlers/ #RCCrawling #RCBeginner

You bought a $110 truck and called that the cost of getting in. Then a battery. Then a charger. Then tools, then the part you broke. I added up my real first year, line by line: https://senditslow.com/blog/what-year-one-actually-cost/ #RCCrawling #RCBeginner
