That is pretty neat...some of them look real...but I knew it was scale models when I didn't see the driver's arms moving...

 

[Gotta_gofast]

I'd own/build one... infact, I'd like more info as to how to go about it.

[crbnunit]

That was fricking awesome. I want one!

 

[SawyerRanger]

where do you get the bodies? think they make a ranger one?

 

[daniel3507]

after watching this and thinking about it for awhile, i decided that i must have one. anyone else get the RC rock crawling bug?

 

[TheTopher]

Yep, I got bit by the bug too. This is the closest thing to a wheeling rig I still have room in the driveway for

Crawling for REALLY REALLY RICH kids maybe! Haha! There are guys who have more into their R/C crawlers than I just bought my Ranger for. Lol. No joke. Check out rccrawler.com. There are some really talented guys building trucks on there. I have seen some that look more real than some real trucks. Haha! I only have about 350 or so into mine (don't want to actually count receipts as I don't want my wife to have to kill me!), and it is not NEARLY what the ones in the video are. lol. It will do some damage once I get a metal geared steering servo in it though. No body right now as that is another 50 bucks or so that I am not willing to spend on it yet.

 

[BlackBII]

That's pretty cool.

Yup! That Axial RTR is a good choice Daniel. If only they would have made a dedicated rock crawler kit or RTR when I got into it. AAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! lol. R/C Rock crawling is finally becoming slightly more main stream in the R/C community and companies are starting to put out stuff dedicated to us rock crawlers. When I started I boughtone of these guys. They had just come out with the 4x4 version that week. I bought it not intending to go rock crawler on it, but really, how long can you do wheelies across the yard before you get bored? Haha! So, I chopped it up, relocated the servo over the axle to lower the weight, dropped in different gears and a high turn motor for a max speed now thats a little slower than a slow walk. Haha! But it has some serious torque! Built a custom chassis out of a 2 dollar Walmart cutting board and some 1/8 inch aluminum sheet. Its alright now, just needs some fine tuning and a stronger servo. Good luck on whatever you get, but beware, it gets expensive fast!

Wow, those both look awesome, definitely love the 70's ford body and the painted on rust

Are all these little things SAS'd?
