Anybody here into crawling?

T-Maxx

I'm itching to get myself a crawler (Axial ax10 rtc or maybe the scx10 honcho) and were wondering if anybody else have a crawler of any sorts?

Where you gonna use it? I was looking into crawlers some time ago and the only place suitable I found was rocky beach between Malahide and Portmarnock. When I talked to Enda at Navan track in early Spring they were going to build a track, not sure what happened since then. Go ahead and buy one thou, I'd love to see one in action .

I've one, a modified 1.9er TLT-1 on aa tracer chassis, Integy 55T motor, big bore shocks, lead in the wheels, Dr Kucho tyres, lots of fun! Used it a lot while building the house, great for scrambling, but it hasn't been out in a while, tiem to charge teh battery packs again!

how about the new kit from axial http://www.redrc.net/2010/05/axial-racing-xr10-crawler/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RedRc+%28Red+RC+-+RC+Car+News%29

Yeah I've seen that new kit - $456.99 at Tower though...

Been looking at the Venom Creeper and Losi Night Crawler as well, but I still think Axial has better parts and hop-ups availability.

Just spotted that new Axial XR10 on another forums.
I thought MOA trucks died out with the Clod Buster-based trucks, but it looks pretty interesting. Front/Rear dig, low CoG, everything you'd need out of the box. Pricey, but for a competion crawler, you get what you pay for!

(I didn't want to start a new thread so instead decided to resurrect this one here.)

Anybody else got themselves a crawler yet? I need some new crawl spots and some competition ...;)
