seen em round LHS's. they look alright. was thinking about it as i had a bit of fun crawling the MLST the other day, but the rocks that are too big to climb in the MLST are too small for that
<DIV>Nice choice, towerhobbies have them on the stocksheet but not in stock until the end of the month. Nicely prices as well, $279 USD and that is a complete kit! </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>RCHOBBIES have them in stock and price reflects USD conversion as well. Hmmmm, no no I musn't jjjrules talk some sense into me dammit!</DIV>Edited by: Mr Flibble
Miss you too ya big lug and I see you did alright in your class results yesterday. I always keep an eye on the results table to see who the new young guns are
<DIV>EGGBOX can you give us a brief rundown on this kit. Instructions, build quailty etc... It appears to be fantastic value but for the price I was thinking it would have a real HPI Wheelyking sort of feeling to it? </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I just paid $1500 for a clod based crawler which I am and was happy to do but I'm thinking this AXIAL crawler may be a great present for Dad come Christmas... Are the beadlocks an alloy outer ring or plastic?</DIV>

<DIV>Damn, and I was seriously considering one before I got this other crawler which looks great but I do enjoy the build and doing the additions myself. Alas ... If i buy anything more I could end up on the couch...</DIV>

whats the hype about rock crawlers lol
not like having a go at yaz but ive never really been interested in em.
they are nice lookin and id really like to build one. (i like building and tweeking the car more then i actually like racing it sometimes)
but for some reason driving 5kmph up rocks isnt really interesting for me,
i understand you pick a line and try to get up the hill but doesnt it get boring?
i was thinking about maybe custom building a crawler and then selling it cos as i sed i rly like making stuff lol
<DIV>Mertz, rock crawling is not dissimilar to trials (not trail) bike riding. You layout a course of obstacles and complete the course in the best time without rolling over etc... It takes skill and is a challenge as well.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Or, if you have decided to have a couple cold ones anything that isn't moving is fair game to scale
. Each to his own but, I don't get a buzz from launching my RC into the stratosphere and watching it fall to earth. And some people (not you) as Lily Allan would say "have a whinge and a moan" when the break on landing.</DIV>

yeah im not really into bashing either lol
racing is really what i love, but i havent actually done it at a club just with mates
lol i had to replace EVERY part on my mini-t because i broke it, i dont winge and moan even after having to spend another $600 on my T lol
EDIT: btw id really like to make a clodbuster based rock crawler even though i probably wont run it lol. just custom fabricating it gives me thrills and then seeing that what i made from nothing but a few bits of aluminium out performs a stock chassis
yeh dude i so agree...the axial is a bargain and its tempting for that price...might consider it...peace out
