This is a brand spanking new announcement, so theres hardly any information at all. But Duratrax has announced a new 1/14 scale crawler they like to call the Cliff Climber. The RTR will be around $240 and the ARR will be around $140. It has a motor for each axle, like a Clodbuster, has a Ford Bronco styled body, and by looking at the photo there is a servo mounted on the front axle. Could Duratrax be starting a new mini crawler craze?

Fast growing class
It's no question that rock crawling has been one of the fastest growing classes in R/C for the past couple of years. I've been looking for ways to get into it too relatively cheaply. I'm still not quite sure what the appeal of it is to me at this point. I've never been interested in full scale rock crawling, but for some reason I want an r/c rock crawler. I wanted so bad to get a TLT-1 back in the day, because I'm a big fan of Tamiya and a lot of successful rock crawlers have been based on that chassis. Tamiya seems to have discontinued them though and I was pretty sad to find that out, so I've been looking to other manufacturers. I was looking at Axial, they have a lot of positive press. This truck seems like a good deal, but I want to see a performance review before I settle on it. Can any one provide me with some other suggestions for manufacturers and trucks? Scale doesn't matter much, 1/14, 1/12, 1/10, whatever. Electric is all I really run any more. I love kits, so anything that is in kit form will get preference over RTR and the ability to add 4 wheel steering is a must, just for the "wow, cool!" factor alone.
