    RC Rock Crawlers

    Anyone got one?? I've been looking around for one of these, look like fun!!!! Some are damn expensive though. No idea what one to go for but i prefer the 'scaler' models to the all out rock crawlers. THis one is on ebay and its awesome but a bit too expensive

    These are reaslonable and a bit smaller for indoor use

    Or somewhere inbetween

    Nope, sorry Crotchrocket-- we gave up those toys when we got a real driver's license and a real VX. Leave those RC-toys to the kids. If you become a Father one day; then yes, it might be a good way to "bond" with your son. Until that happens, leave 'em.

    Aw, come back out "crotchcrocket" you've got a big boy's toy to play with (remember evryone, family friendly now ). Besides save your money for the move to America and the steering wheel correction mod.
    Oh and we don't eat carp over here, so you can have all you want.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    remember, the only difference between a boy and a man is the size and cost of his toys And just last week I saw two grown men playing with one of those on the top of a rock retainer wall at the mall, looked like a blast, wanted to park my bus and check it out.
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    That is pretty sweet. Last year I was trying to buy a real K5, but settled on a NNBS Z71 Tahoe instead.

    For my R/C Crawler I put a nice '72 C10 body on my AX10. We'll see if I ever get to buy a real one of those... Still working on the NewBright JK body for my SCX10.

    R/C really is a money pit of a hobby, but still much cheaper than real cars.
