RC ROCK CRAWLERS

rock yuppie · Mar 11, 2010

I have had the opportunity to see several of these RC Rock crawlers in action here lately, and I have to say that I was very impressed at how life like these little machines are. With that said, how many of you folks out there own one of these machines? and would ya ll be interested in getting together for a friendly completion on the rocks at our park?

Post up and let me know...... I think it would be cool to see what all everyone has on their RC Crawlers

Yes, I think I can do rev limtier. I have done GBU, the Punisher, and Los Primos at MMORV. At Grayrock, Tippy Toes and Stump Hill. I have a Berg with stickies.

this one has been up rev limiter a number of times, its an axial

as for going down.... it just tumbles and breaks links :driving:

ive also got the losi micro crawler, which is good for those rainy days. i just sit at the kitchen table with books and have hours of fun!

and this one is my buddys custom chassis (on the right, and a revo on the left). it was machined before you could buy the pre made chassis. its got rear steer and now has beadlocks with stickys.

Thats cool. I will be putting together an area in the shade for some RC climbing obstacles. I guess I will have to by one now. Any one with ideas on which one to by please post up. I would like to have one that can do front digs.

Depends on what you want to spend and the amount of time you want to allow in putting it together. If you want to take it out of the box and play. Axial RTR. If you want a little putting together to get a better buggy, Axial ARTR. If you want the most bells and whistles, like making the front axle go faster than the rear up hills, front and rear dig, then go with a berg (or MOA) motor on axle. You can put into one what you want from $250 to where I am plus. I have $2K in mine including the 4PK radio. If you want to research, go here and read for 2 weeks before you do anything:

id go with the axial artr.... best crawler for the money. less than 1000 bucks too.

s10me · Mar 12, 2010

buy an axial rtr and get a dig kit for it and upgrade to aluminum links

Dwalk · Mar 12, 2010

The axial Competition Ready Kit , It has rear steer, You have to supply motor and electronics, servo etc... but it has a little more for the money. You get alum. links, real nyloc nuts for your screws not the plastic, better rod ends, Flex is crazy

Okay I will be reading more into it. thanks guys. :dblthumb:

how well do those replica krawlers work?

leeman1790 · Mar 14, 2010

I have a Losi MRC with a good bit of stuff done to it. RCbros shocks (internal clicky pen springs), bent delrin links, beefier rc car heims, metal gear steering servo, metal lockers, real beadlocks, blue label flat iron tires, aluminum servo mount, and moved all the electronics for lower cog. They are a ton of fun to "wheel", it's actually broken right now though. It broke a heim in the rear and drive shaft pulled out then jammed up and stripped the transmission gears...then the ESC went with it somehow.
