Who here has a RC rock crawler or has seen one in action? It's actually pretty cool. I have one of these:

:O this topic has to be more popular

This is the kind of R/C that claims my money and time over robots ATM

Currently I am bidding on a second truck on eBay and a pile of parts to build a 3rd :P

I almost got into this... Then I was bitten by the "robot bug" and that money hole of a hobby keeps me out of the money hole known as RC racing. :P

Do RC heli's count as off road :D?

Technically they don't use roads... so yes

Rock crawlers are pretty cool.Best bit is the pivoting suspension buuuuuuut they personally don't go fast enough for me : /

I was never a big fan of Nitro trucks... I always liked electrics. I felt like you couldn't do as much with the Nitro ones except jump them off of BMX ramps in your backyard.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:53:35 PM »

I never bothered with Nitro...

No need for it

Traxxas Nitro Stampede is clocked at 60mph top speed

Traxxas VXL Stampede (brushless electric) is clocked at 65mph to speed

I just brought the Brushless ESC and Motor for mine and also a pile of bits to start building one of the 4x4 chassis..

What i do love is realistic crawling, however. I had an out of the box crawler when i was younger. If I had the money now I would build a crawler myself.
