RC Crawlers

[Phil]

Anyone else an RC Crawler dork in Sierra?

I got an Axial AX-10 when I was in Kansas. All I've done is trim the body a little and run it. I did pick up a new set of tires on Monday, white dot something or others.

I had two yards of different size cobbles dropped off last week and made a little rock pile behind my trailer so I can rock crawl in my back yard.

Still got my Nylint Scorpion kicking around. My dauighter loves it, she puts all her barbies in it and drives around the house.

Im rockin a rs-10 with full mods and hb rovers. I think only the chassis side plates and axle housing is whats left stock...

I have a axial Scorpion with a few goodies and I bought a rs-10 off Ebay for my son to learn with..I also have a small rock garden in the front of my place, nothing crazy but it keeps us busy.

I'd like to pick one of those up to screw around with. I love that XJ body Sean!

I don't have time to do any research, but what would make a good base to start with? And what would be a good price to pick up a used one?

Thanks,
Billy

I've got an xr-10 I finally pulled back out of the closet. I forgot how much fun 1-10th scale wheeling can be. Tho 5.5 in tall tires on the rc is like 55 in tires on the jeep....

I got one, I'll bring mine to the meeting. Anyone else going that has one should bring theirs too

Thanks Billy! This was my favorite though.

Thanks Billy! This was my favorite though.

That is sweet! I have always loved the Defender 90, even look sweet as an rc.

Thanks! This is what it looked like when I sold it a few months back.

 

[Letterman]

Oh ya, my old MJ.

Wow, now that is cool!

Man, I'm so out of date, all I have is one of the old 12 volt orange Wrangler crawlers they used to sell at Walmart somewhere close to the turn of the centry. :dunno: I think I got it when Kevin (WesternXJ) was still living/wheeling down here! I always thought I'd take up and play during one of the SierraFests. But i forgot to grab it each time I went. It still works tho. I just tested it today in my back yard, around my under construction retaining walls. It can't climb dirt or gravel worth a crap. But does okay on the cement blocks.

Thanks. I lost my a$$ selling that one.

Sounds like an old Nylint?


Here's what you guys REALLY want! Great crawler and a little speed.

thats pretty cool, but i would prefer an xj body.
how are these axial rigs? i don't know squat about rc cars.
are they durable? how long will it run on a charge?
will it withstand my rottweilers biting & slobbering on it? :jester:

 

[connor0770]

Been following axial for a while now.. Here's my take on the wraith. IT'S AWESOME! But... Do you want a crawlerr or a go fast. Cause it's not too quick, and is geared to high for great crawling. I used to race 1/10 scale buggy... I can't imagine dumping 300 + into a car that just crawls, I have a Jeep for that.

I guess for each his own. It's cool, but I'd rather get a true crawler.. If you wait till June, axial is having a huge event at Cisco Grove exit (fordyce entrance)

Yes, they're Axial. In my opinion Axial is the best out there. Lot's of aftermarket goodies.

Very, very durable. Run time depends on battery size and type. A standard NiCad 3000mah battery will last about an hour.

Video from the Portland International Auto Show. These rigs took 3 days of constant abuse and only suffered one broke bumper and a drive line.

RPP Hobby is the BEST online hobby shop bar none.

If you want an XJ or MJ. Buy the SCX-10 kit and add the body. That simple.

I have lots and lots of hours on my AX-10 with no mods except a set of tires I got around New Years. I have bounced it down my rock pile several times, no issues. I got the "Ready To Crawl" kit so it has plastic links and steering. Oh, I guess I did swap the servo saver for the included plastic pitman arm.

I usually get tired or run out of beer before I kill the 3000 mah battery. I get a couple play days out of a charge.
