r/c blazer

Holy Grail of Tamiya guys . They actually have straight axles , diffs , locking hubs , u-joints , and a shfting tranny :D
 
I can't believe it. My dad had one of these from when they first came out. It had 4wheel drive with high and low and a nice custom made control. And up to maybe a year or two ago still had it. But he cleaned out the shop and it got thrown away. I can't believe I didn't think to save it. it might be time to find another one and build it up.
 
$600 is really cheap for one of those.
With 6 days left, it will probably sell for twice that amount.
At $1200, it would cost about the same as my real blazer.
 
Those old tamiya blazers are collectors items and that is really a decent price for one of those.

Or you could build your own. RC Crawling is a fast growing sport. Here is one I built a few months ago:

There is a lot of great info about RC rockcrawling at that site as well.
It is fun while taking a lunch break while out on the trail to get that out and see what it can climb.
 
RC trucks are kind of fun... I've just got a cheapie radio shack avalanche that I got as a gag gift last year. That thing's a blast! Locked rear diff, open front, selectable transmission (hi/lo)
 
walmart sells rc crawlers made by nylint. i own both the 1/18 th sacle and the 1/6th scale crawlers. they have them in the wrangler and scorpion body styles. the rccrawlers.com ite has a bunch of info on em.
 
Wow. I had no idea. To read that sight you'd think they were talking about real trucks. Engines, tranny, Hi, Low, Locked diffs, suspension, I had no idea! You learn something everyday. Looks fun.
 
ive got a rc truck LIKE that not the same though i've put about $500-600 :eek1: and what did i do snapped an axle! :mad:

FUN hobby but expensive... kinda sounds familiar? :haha:

Nice work. I'm impressed. Is the most expensive part the Axle Kit? Almost 400 bucks!!

Tamiya Clod Buster or a Traxxas E-Maxx if you want to go electric, or a HPI Savage or Traxxas T-Maxx if you want to run nitro.
 
Little bit of :hack: and they can fit some bigger meats in there! Cmon, where's the winch? :haha:
