Is there a limit to how many crawlers you can use per base? And do you have to pay minerals to maintain them.

No maintenance if the crawler unit has a clean core engine

I thought there was no maintenance at all! Anyone somewhere where they're able to check?

I've never had to pay any support for crawlers or probe teams. If I have a base that I don't need any improvements or units from, I build crawlers instead of stockpiling energy. I usually use them to assist with special projects. Between projects, I park them somewhere out of base radius and have them add nutrients or energy to whoever needs it.
As far as a limit...I'm pretty crawler happy and I haven't seen one yet.
