micro rc crawlers buyers guide

[Mad Scientist]

I used to be really into Micro RC - Zip Zaps, Microsizers, imported clones and whatnot. To me, "Micro" RC are 1:64 or so - Zip-Zap sized. Anything 1:24 and up, like X-Mods and Mini Giants are more "Mini" than "Micro".

well i dont know the exac scale but i am guessing around 1:20 or something like that but i will make it 1:18 scale under a 50's panel truck body and call it the milk man. oh, and i am putting a micro rs4 motor in it for more power ad torque. hey it is small for my giant hands i mean it will fits in your palm like a little uppy almost.

xmods have great potential my friend has a black hummer with 4wd and a servo for the engine and it's super torquey just need to find some better tires for it. they are pretty hard to come by but ebay you might still be able to find some
