thats nice i am going to get that body for my preruner style truck. i also have a drift car wich is cool but flying of jumps in the dirt is way more fun.

 

[SeansXJ]

yeah i agree goin fast is more fun sometimes...i also have a TMAXX that i always seem to break when i drive it...that got old fast so its been sitting for about a year. All my buddies that wheel have RC crawlesr, everytime were at camp im askin to drive there crawler, so i went out and got one...should be here tommorow. im excited hahaha!! i feel like a kid again lol.

cool video.. i was going to get an Axial but for that price i just did'nt see it being ideal. i ended up gettin one for 150 bucks shipped to my door. i already have a bunch of mods planned cause out the box they kinda suck.

after wtching that vid i think i will need to add a crawler to my collection. but i can see it geting out of hand i allready have over a $1000 invested into my drift RC wich includes the price of the car.

Hey I have a few rc's.
I have a Traxxas Revo 3.3, nitro 4x4, capable of high speed or rock crawling, thats a ton of fun, just a little loud for camping. I have some nice moab tires i put on it occasionally and had a nice Wrangler shell for it. The make an electric version for those interested, and in my opinion its a much much better investment to get the Revo/Tmaxx than a rig designed ONLY to crawl.

I have a Jato 3.3 that can hit 65 mph, and a Rustler that goes 50, both have nitro engines, RWD. I used to have a Slash, a scale electric short course truck, lots of fun until i sold it, Also have a Team Associated RC18T, just a mini electric truck, goes about 25. I"m tryin to sell the Rustler or Jato if anyone's interested let me know I want them gone, they're on craigslist.
My Revo again:

Sheesh! How many toys do you have, boy?

i have a HPI savage, i've put over a grand into it breaking it replacing stuff etc. right now, i need a new motor and tranny just to get it running again =/. i also have a duratrax vendetta truck 1/18th scale that needs a speed control so im saving for a brushless system =)

i want a crawler but i have this issue with wanting to put all my money into my xj :gee:

 

[100K XJ]

That kind of sounds like my friend, he has Savage also. Drove his conrod thru the piston, got a new .28, got a 3 speed etc etc. Its a hassle tuning them though.. Ya my ESC for my rc18 is worn out too, mamba brushless sure would be nice haha

 

[SeansXJ]

well i also have a tmaxx.. been through the fast stuff, its fun. just after driving street rc stuff and basher stuff like the savage and tmaxx i much prefer my crawler.

 

[SeansXJ]

alright got some mail today, parts parts parts... got my tires mounted and did a little front yard wheelin. i don't care what you say, no basher can crawl like this.

soo... proline makes that body?!?!?!? since when!?!?

i think in May...atleast thats when they had them in the LHS around here

 

[MaxxXJ]

thats nut's! and looking at the spec's they will fit my savage =) but im having a real delimma lol should i spend the 300 on my savage for a new motor and tranny etc... or spend 300 on a crawler? the savage was a beast and i love that mofo... but again, i could have a crawler too... with the savage i could get super soft coils with lockers and make it a crawler give it really good torqy gearing... i can just see it now =) my savage would be an AWESOME crawler!

 

[jimbosz07]

That is awesome! I used to have a bunch of RC stuff but I sold it all when I got my real Jeep. I figure the less money pits I have the better off I am...

BUT, where did you get that for only $150?!?!?! I might have to pick one up too for that price

 

[connor0770]

i used to race my RC cars, but now they are for sale. If anybody wants them let me know. Ill give them to you for cheap. $225 and you can have 2 nitro RC cars. Heres the craigslist ad. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/1874340992.html
