gubute, the best advice I can give you is go have a really good look around www.monstertruckparts.com.au and also the RC monstertruck videos at www.orp.com.au

You will then know two things:
a) what a RadioRockcrawler is
b) that you want one

Then come and talk to us. We don't sell them (yet) we just have parts to make them better. But we can give you heaps of advice and point you in the right direction.

gobute,
You have several options:
1) Buy a Tamiya TXT-1 (Like Rockhead) from your local Hobby Shop. The truck itself should cost you about $750.
2) Buy a Tamiya Juggernaut (Like Big Juggs) from one of the few stores that still have one ins stock. Should be able to pick one up for $500-$600 but you'll have to ring a few places to find one.
3) Buy a new Clod off E-Bay. Some Hong Kong dealers are selling them for less than $150US so you can land them her for around $375 at the moment including freight.
4) There is currently a 2nd hand Clodbuster on E-Bay located in Australia that is currently sitting at $250.

The TXT-1 requires the least modifications but be prepared to pour some money into all of them for smaller pinions, good tyres, better speed controller etc The Clods and Juggs require some suspension modification to ready them for serios rockcrawling.

Hope that helps
Cheers
