Thanks! It's just starting in the UK, so you'll have either order most of it from the US, or fabricate ityourself. I chose the latter :wink:

Old thread, I know, but I thought I'd show some updated pics. Did anyone actually build one? 'Cause I've spotted a few new UK crawlers on RCCrawler.com

[quote="dreadnought110who needs nitro!![/quote]


Try asking that question when your waiting for batteries to charge.

Then again, whalst your waiting for batteries they are trying fruitlessly to get the nitro to run properly.

Right then, the yellow beetle was running Tamiya TLT axles, a Traxxas stampede trannsmission, 2.2" rims and Masher 2000 tyres.

The red jeep was running Tamiya Clodbuster axles, thecrawlerstore.com stick chassis, Proline MOAB XL tyres and Proline 40 series wheels, which you need a 12mm-23mm adapter to fit to the clod axles.

I recommend the site in my sig for more info, practically a "Mudclub for rccrawlers"  :wink:

I just got back from a 3 week trip in the USA and one of my cases was full of crawler bits, ie. 1 set of Proline Moab XL's & 4 x Commando bead lock rims (I have just narrowed them down to 2")  a set of 4 billet hubs, pair of 55t Integy lathe motors, Novak EVX speed controller, a second set of Nylint wheels & tyres (£6.00 new), 9 tooth pinions, adjustable motor mounts, 25 x traxxas rod ends.......... and loads more...

Thought it looked cool when I saw r/c crawling a couple of years ago, so thought I'd have a go. Going to build myself a 17" wheelbase tuber, thats one built with a space framed chassis instead of the ally side plates.

yes I know I need to get out more!!! :lol:

I'll post some pic's when I get round to it.
