Jeez...2 weeks ago I had no RC anything and now I have like 3, thinking No. 4 is about to be picked up on the way home...

He told me last night that he got them for when I go out there to play house. :shock:JasonInAugusta said:But...what's with the Barbie dolls?![]()
be carful those steering nuckles break really easy i'd knowjason said:Moving to the front axle, very suprisingly, it rides on bearings.
Also very cool in the second picture here you can see the front axle shaft. Before it tapers down it is at least 2X as big as a stock clod shaft!
First off welcome!slashsplat said:Hello from http://ScorpionCars.com .
Y'all be aware that the Scorpion version of the crawler is available! The model's suspension was designed by Mike Seay, Scorpion Daddy, in coop with Nylint/Funrise. They then got Jeep to also license their body and name, to add to the appeal.
We will have accessories/mods for the crawlers on the ScorpionCars site in a month or two, as they become available. Be aware, it takes a special prep and paint to adhere to that special impact-resistant body plastic, and we will have a full re-paint kit. You should find the things REALLY rugged. I saw you noticed the heft of the axles! We wanted to make sure that was not a weak point.
Notice that the drivetrain carries a US Patent Pending notice! Nylint did some amazing engineering on this to bring them to market at these prices.
The battery lasts about forever. Didn't see it mentioned that it has a two speed gears, one for crawling and one for hauling, switchable on the RC handset. The 1/6 will walk straight up the side of my desk in low.
The tires are a bit slick out of the box, but REALLY stick once they get used a bit. They are basically deflated as shipped to conform. The channel selection allows for FOUR different channels, just perfect for competitiion.
Would there be any interest in a REAR-STEER kit??
thats awsome you need to make more vidsPlays_with_Toys said:Hey I just checked and my 1:18th video is the top download of August at RCpics!

My 63 old father bought the last two from Wal-mart and is picking up rocks today for a small coarse. Ages range from 4 to 63 and we all have fun. Great way to get the family involved in the sport. The frequeny selector is great too. Great product and welcome aboard!
