anyone tried those 1/8 crawlers that are all over ebay.
wondered if they would be a good starting point for someone.

Stick with one of the known brands of 1/10 crawlers. The Axial ARTR, Tamiya CR-01 or the Berg/Gladiator. Either way you go expect to spend about $500 min.

What he said ^^^^^^^

The biggest problem with any 1/8 crawler is getting good tyres and as it is now you only have a choice of the stock tyres that come on them or the Moabs.

The Losi Mini Rock Crawler has had good reviews and can be used for scale projects in the future if that's the way he wanted to go .. Also Losi have a 1:10 comp crawler coming out at the end of May which has been doing very well in comps in the US .. So I have read.
