Im just wondering if anyone else is into RC's other than Wheelin.

After getting out of the hobby a few years ago I started to get back into it

as of now I just have 2 RC's

1. Traxxas Slash VXL Brushless Powered (quick Basher it does around 40-45mph)

They are pretty sweet....... I had a traxxis a few years ago when gas first got real big.. very hard to keep tuned back then..


I cant afford to keep up with the real jeep, let alone minature ones anymore.....


Alot of the parks are starting to build rc tracks now.. Maybe Rausch will do the same.. They are real big on Pirate now..

I had gas too, but I was sick of having to retune it every time I wanted to run it. So im sticking to the elec. just plug and play

I think the Crawler is my favorite one Ive had too bad I slipped on a rock and landed on it when it was in my hand I shattered a wheel and noone has them in stock. Maybe next time I'll take it to RC and try the comp course this thing sticks to rocks like white on rice

I know there big of Pirate4x4, there's a few guys in MD Creepers that run them also. have you seen RCCrawler.com yet some people build some sick scale crawlers.

I've always been big into RC's. I'm thinkin of selling my Super Nitro for a crawler.

I prefer electrics to nitro too. Less hassle.

I did a little crawling today with my 1/18th scale Losi Crawler. I was at Double Rock park for about 45 mins or so. A few kids were watching it in action , You could tell they were simply amazed by its abilities. Anyway one of the kids slipped off a rock and landed on my Crawler it seemed to be fine and the battery was starting to die so I went home to throw the battery on the charger. After the battery was finished charging about an hour later I used the little course I threw together today in my backyard. Not even 3 mins into the run I managed to get the left front wheel hung up and did my "Balls Out Approach" well the Crawler torqued up and snap Shattered the axle. I guess the axle got cracked when the kid landed on it.

Oh well I had some fun too bad its broke till parts come in, But unlike a Jeep its just a $10 repair lol .


Here's the pics of the carnage:
