anyone into RC rock crawling?

[t_aldrich]

the HPI was FASTTTTTTT 35-40mph with the os motor....

it did RETARDED donuts too with the AWD....


my brother had one. i forgot the make but it was 1/10 scale and it came with the 1/8 scale size engine....would do 60-65 on pavement... went thru rear tires like it was going outta style.

ive got an AX10 kit figured it would be cheaper than my jeep:laugh: man was i wrong but they are load of fun and homebrew parts like no other just like ownin a jeep

thats the reason i'm buying the Losi! I'm not gonna dump a ton of money into it. I will, however, be ordering metal lockers for the diffs when i order the truck!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, good luck with that:roflmao:

Metal lockers are a good idea, I did strip one of mine within a couple weeks. I had to wait a couple months to get the metal ones, but better to be safe than stripped again.

Here's my LMC/LMRC as it sits today

Oh i will change wheels and tires but i have a full scale rig to dump money into first. I know its like a snow ball but i've made it a whole year almost on my Stampede only buying 25 dollars worth in parts. Since i toasted my transmission gears in a huge jump!

Gotta Pede too, I've had it nearly 10 years now, it's nothing like it was when I bought it either

It's VXL powered now, far better than the MSC/Stinger it had originally:guitar:

This is kind of a scarey view of it, I get a little nervous if I come close to getting in front of it at speed, on a 7 cell pack like in the above video:shiver:

[bjoehandley]

From the same guy that made the one in the video, very pricey but very cool.

The VXL is a pretty strong running motor/ESC combo, I'd like to swap one in my Bandit (making it the same as the one in the vid) only build it up into a speed run machine instead of a track racer.

I don't currently own any of them but would love to get into it when funds allow. Assuming these are all electric, how well do the gas operated machines compare? I always thought they were cool.

 

[bjoehandley]

Out of the box, they're faster but not always as reliable or easy to work with and if you want to go plaid or crawl, you'll want to stay electric.

 

[tharlanjr]

I wanna get a crawler, but I spend all my money on a Savage X 4.6, lol

I want to find someone to trade me all out, crawler for savage.

I just want an electric so I can play with it in my house, haha

 

[srmitchell]

I used to be really into rc anything, but I've never had a crawler. Some day.

I've owned
-Micro rs4's
-AE tc3
-2 Hpi Rs4 3 nitro's (got them by trading the t maxx)
-T Maxx
-Aquacraft Hammer v-boat

I'd like to buy a $300 rock crawler, but that 8.25 aussie is REALLY nice!

hahahaha

 

[Darky]

This is what I'd like to get

Anyone have any experience with the Wheely king Crawler conversion?

The AX-10 is a great crawler. Iv built a few crawler in the past and just sold my last one a couple days ago.

I had one not long ago with the crawler conversion. I did real good and cept up with a ax-10 on the rocks. The only issue with them is link clearance, very easy fix. I just got out of RC cars a couple years ago, I had raced for a 4 years and was a semi pro racing 1/8th scale gas buggies. Those are more of a money pit the XJs are i swear.
