R/C rock crawling

I used to be huge into r/c racing years ago. Just out of curiosity I picked up a magazine to see where the hobby has headed. Apparently trucks are the new wave. Actually r/c rock crawling is huge right now. I did some research into it and it looks really cool and fun. Here is a video of an event they held.

I’m definitly down to build one and bash around with. I know you guys did the mini racing. Any interest to get something going around here?

Wow that is pretty cool, I want.

The rock crawling looks slow and boring to me.
Trucks are where its at though. I have a nitro car and a nitro truck, and the truck is wayyy more fun, and the trucks that are out now are just as fast as most of the cars. New T maxx is pretty sweet, thats what I would buy.

that makes me miss utah…such an awesome place.

yawns

I’ve been looking to buy one since I sold my tmaxx 2.5 to my friend.

I think stadium off road trucks are still the most fun, big jumps and all that shibby. Someone build a nice dirt track, ill break out my old truck.

I did the whole racing thing driving out to different tracks for competition. I got out of it becuase I couldn’t stand all the drama that these older guys were creating out there.

this looks fucking stupid.I dont know how this could be fun unless you smash into stuff or launch them

the drama can be fun to watch…

like when a kid with a $300 car smashes into and breaks the $1100 car…

ive had my r/c crawler out the past couple of day and to be honest i forgot how much fun it was. spent a good 3 hours this week end just wheelin flexig then modding it to make it go over the shit i got stuck on.

I miss mine… they were expensive back in the day though… and now that I can afford them, I’m paying for 1:1 scale :frowning:
