I am looking to buy a rock crawler. I have the nylint jeep. i also have a tmaxx and a monster buggy. but i want something more extreme. But i dont know what to get. Please tell me what is good like a txt or an e maxx or something that will flex a lot and still look good. I dont want that pivot barin the middle.

Who you are? My name is Chris
What kind of rig you have? My TLT should have been here today (evil Postman). Other than that I have a HPI Nitro RS4 2 touring car and an Associated RC18MT.
Where you live? The Army brought me to Fort Hood Texas. Now I am out of the Army and just never left here. I guess that Texas grows on people.

aight ill post here so everyone can find out who i am... kk my name is Jimmy Walker and i live in the north valleys in Reno, NV. I HAD a crawler... lol thats right i had one... I made it out of a $30 radio shack RC that was 4wd that had been in my garage for years... so i took some materials and made a custom chassis... and even custom shocks from seringes and some springs i had layin around... yeah but the gears in the axles couldnt handle the stress so after about 2 weeks of great hard crawlin, it finally gave up and i cant find anywhere to get the gears. (really wierd gears... )... so then my friend ran it over on accident... lol.... but im 17 years old and a senior at NVHS... yeah i think i want to get some txt-1 or jugg axles (they are the same right?) and totally do everything else custom... well i think im done talkin now so laters.

My name is David Lee Esquivel. My hometown is San Antonio, TX. I am stationed at Whiteman AFB, MO. I joined the Air Force August 29, 2000. I work on the B-2. I have been in the R/C hobby for about 5 years. I have boats, cars, and trucks. I just purchased a TLT and a TXT. This website is pretty helpful and has a lot of information. I hope to have two nice crawlers by Christmas. (Sorry for the lack of numerous "flick offs"!)

Well, I'm Kevin Li Gu (pronounced G-oo) and I just got into the hobby of RC Rock Crawling. I don't have one yet, but I have been in RC for a while and I have a TL-01B and an HPI Micro Rs4. I enjoy the latter one because the first one needs a new chassis! I also am lookingi nto a Cross Country Chassis, and can anyone tell me if this is a good car?

Cheers,

Kevin

Hey all, Brandon from Mass. My first crawling rig is a Nylint 1:18. And after seeing what all of you are building, I'm hooked. I'm looking into building a rig this winter. Just havn't decided on what type of power train yet. Probably a shaft drive.
My 1:1 rig is a 92 F150 that is beat up pretty good due to following jeeps into tight situations.

Whats up my fellow RC Crawaholics. I am from Colorado, but live in Indiana now. I am in the process of building my own crawling pit. I own 198 acres of land, and I have a dry creek on the property. I have been moving rock, and busting up rocks to build a awesome pit! Hope to see you out here when I set up events. I will keep you informed, and take plenty of pics.
My rig is Clod. Gecko II Pro chassis, 55t Integy Lathe motors, LST Claw tires, aluminum tracgear II, with aluminum gears all around, I will post pics!
