San Diego RC Crawlers

[Turboduck01]

because jeeps make good urban crawlers 8)

i had to throw that in there for raul duke. as an owner of a toyota, it was almost mandatory to make such a comment :lol:

i've never noticed that but im sure when im on the freeway now im gonna be thinkin about it.

 

[raul duke]

Hey, I use mine. I don't know adout the rest of the of em'. I live in the hills anyway. Next GTG on March 3 at Felicita park be there if you can. Pre comp practice runs.

 

[Norcal crawler]

I'm back from the vacation. I wish i could have brought my crawler with me.

 

[BrockGrimes]

Alot of off road trails near san diego.
I think a 6cyl jeep is perfect for the city.
Plenty of power and a tight turn radius, "thumbsup" .

If you notice most jeeps are driven by women so they are
Mall Crawlers!

I miss me jeep,

I'll try to get to the crawl on the 3rd, migh tbe able to get off.

Anyone got any recomendations of the TLT build, things to do or avoid?
I like the Diaz dtrail chassis, feeling a 4 link and no leafs, kinda scaleish.

anybody want to do some trail exploring with the crawlers at Upas and florida st. Tomorrow around 10:00 am or so.

I would be up for it but the 2.2 axle is broken need some C's. The scaler is getting 1.9 Geolanders but outside will be 4":lol: will post some pic when I get it all worked out.

Yeah, i saw a ton of jeep Libertys and those newer ones that aren't actually jeeps. And half of them were driven by women. I agree with you that they do have a tight turn radius. That is pretty usefull. I never knew there were so many trails there though. But there are some mountains there.

quat- quit making excuses! I think you might be a scared of the pimp and the rest of the competition.

I just got my new dx3 with 2 receivers. I am going to try and make it up on the 3rd. need to test it out.

only thing i need to get for the scaler is a esc and motor. Might have to get a 25 and a holmes revolver 2. How is the the revolver 2 working for you Raul.

[raul duke]

Heres a peek at my new project. I call it the "Stealth Pimp". Decided to try components I had not used before on my previous builds. See you guys on sat. around 10:30 or 11:00.

My son Ian's new rig



It is a home made Torsion "thumbsup" "thumbsup"

 

[BrockGrimes]

Hey what axle "C" are you guys using?
I busted up me TLT fawking around.
I decided to build it stock with a few mods while I waited for crawler parts to arrive. Locked axles (JBweld) locked tranny (stock).
Yeah an 8T double flat wire motor, makes for some fun and makes for some broken parts, like the ear off the axle housing, ear off a wheel axle, possible busted up JBweld in the diff. or diff's, toasted 1 maybe 2 servo's.

Gota do a disassemble to see what the damage is. I'll post up a pic.

Anyway's what axle "C" you guys running?
Also should I run the Blackfoot wheel axles or the TG10 long rear wheel axle?

Thanks

 

[quattros]

Brockgrimes The 'C' are Fat Rock from here in venders slinking sam
Man get rid of that motor ouch!!
