Many of these aint for kids!

I compete nationally in the 2.2 crawler class....finished 28th in the nation last year........trying for a top 10 this year.

The crawlers are not kits, each is built by hand and no 2 are identical.
 
They are still cute. I remember playing with R/C stuff when I was a kid. Was a ton of fun. My first gas powered R/C rig was a dune buggy and was a blast.

By the time we get done with any of them, they're no longer much alike.

I dig all the stuff shown so far too guys!
 
Found another truck tonight in the attic I forgot I even had: RC10T. 98XJSport thanks for the tip on how to post pics. Now all I need is a digital camera! LOL

or radio glitch, or low battery, or control rod failure, or, or ,or LOL

and I gotta say the CAR thing is noting like the RC crawler thing, nothing even close

it's just like jeeping, a properly built/maintained rig has a low chance of failure.
Most "radio" problems are dumb thumbs on the pilot's part, or battery failure.
I've only seen a control rod fail when the pilot was doing something that the aircraft was not designed to take. High speed dives with a trainer will fold the wings when you pull out.

all these cars, no airplanes?
I've got no pics, but there's a .40 sized ultimate and a Cap 232 with an os 70 4 stroke on it in my basement.
and an old cressline long ez kit that's about 30% done.
Damned jeep has stopped me from flying though.

I also have a Nitro MT that Ive modified, put a bigger OS motor in, 2 speed tranny, carbon fiber A arms, beefed up the suspension, and more odds and end.. Everyone calls it the rabbit on crack
 
Odd... ive never seen this thread but i got an Email notice lol.
i did however reply to an Older RC post here today..

anyhow, id LOVE to build a crawler, i really want to build a clod axled stick chasis setup, but being in palm beach FL i have no where to crawl
the best i can hope for is trails and mudding

I do have a Tmaxx 2.5 with a Ton of aluminum parts
and a Steel forward only conversion
this truck is great for bashing

and a 1/18 MLST with a MIP center diff and Losi viscous front and rear diffs on a 2 cell lipo

anyone know of a decent place to crawl near palm beach?
 
heres my old Clod crawler. I custom built the whole thing. I used to sell the chassis, If anyone wants one I might be able to make you one for like $50(plus materials)

I raced electric on/off road through the early 90's and have been out of it for a while. I got a REVO last year and have had more fun than all my electric years put together (Just remember to follow the break in procedures or you will be stuck resleeving your new engine.)

I love destroying little kids sand castles then running circles around them.

has anyone ever seen or found a cherokee body?
Click to expand...

this topic came up a while ago. I ran a 1/10 scale cherokee body way back in the day and mccallisterracing.com sells them , they are about 14 dollers per body, just email the and he'll get you one. They are not advertised on his site.

PM rockwerks, he sells the mcallister one and is working on producing a realistic XJ body based off a 4 door. Let me know if you find a monster truck version.

I sell all 4 of those bodies exclusively for Mcallister now, and shipped price of 21.50 each is 70 cents cheaper than the MFGR.

I am still working on the xj body.............anyone know of a cheap cnc company to help out with 3d modeling? LOL

Right now IM doing all the forms by hand:wow:
 
Id love to have a realiastic 4door Xj

what about some other model or toy XJ close to 1/10 or even close to 1/18 for my MLST
im sure i can make a lexan body from a mold of another toy

Hell even a Grand cherokee would be cool.. .
maybee even a grand wagoneer ;)
 
There was someone who put a Jurasic Park XJ body on a Wally crawler.

It was in the huge wally crawler thread. Looked really cool, but was very top heavy.
 
ive seen those micro-t's run for about 70bucks. i deposit my next check thursday. :shhh: shhh
