I have a long list a bunch of Tamiya touring cars, Team Associated cars 2-TC3s, RC12L, RC10B3, RC10T3, RC10GT Team Edition, original RC10 and RC12, RC10DS, HPI NRS4 Pro with Pro 2 front suspension, Yokomo MR4-TC converted back to a Rally car, the closest I have to a crawler is my Clodbuster with a ESP racing chassis.

I do on occasion take the Clod out wheeling with us.

Shot of my favorites, missing are the nitro cars too messy for the light colored carpet

I never would have thought that little car would be able to get up that rock!
I've been tossing around getting an RC for a while.

I bought a Losi Mini Crawler bought 2 weeks ago. I figured I would start with a smaller one and hand it down to my son when I decide to go to a 1/10 scale. Ihave already swapped motors, new shocks and springs, high clearance lower arms, aluminum rear hubs, front metal locker and more in the plans. I have also relocated the battery and esc as well as dropped the body bout 1". I can post pics up tomorrow.

Are the shocks on the mini the same ones they sell for 1/10's? why did you not like them?

I blew one of the front shocks the day i bought it and I also liked the adjustable and aluminum parts if the upgraded shocks. Know I need to replace my rear locker and rear wheel as I decided to explode them on a damn rock yesterday. I am starting to think that just because its small doesnt mean it wont break as easy lol
