I too would go with the mini over the micro. For a bit more money you could get the mini which has HUGE support and also you can fart around on the rocks a bit more to see if you like it. The micro is almost limited to indoors which will surely bore you in a hurry.

On the wheely king, there is no argument that it is not the best platform lol. I bought it new, 2wd, and went to town from there. The only stock parts I have left are the axle housings, bearings and tranny case... I have more into the axles alone than what the truck is worth brand new but I learned A LOT about the axles, how everything works and crawling in general. Starting with an under-performer will make a better crawler out of you anyways.
