Casual crawling

A good show and some easy listening music.  Some horrific roll overs and even some winching.

The best part is..... if you break something, you're not stranded and can fix it inside somewhere heated on a table with beer  :)

electric, if that's what you meant.

I like watching the tires flex when you drive over stuff.

I think it depends how crazy you want to get.$300 give or take will get you a nice little 1/18 scale, good for messing around in the house.  you could spend upwards of 1k on truck, radio, battery, charger, motor, speed controller etc. if you wanted to.
