Ever since I got my 1/6 wally crawlers I've been gettin back into RC's. Dusted off my Clod crawler...put a new clutch in my T-Maxx. Latley they have been giving me more enjoyment than my K5..

heres my small money pit i've been thinking about sellin all of my rc stuff im thinkin i *could* get around 500 for all of it then im alot closer to my new gears. 
what i started with
now (about 500ish later
) this was pre-getting a truck

Mine is the 1:25 scale scorpian, didnt want to shell out the 150 for the 1:6 scale.
I have a Rustler that has been sitting for about 4 years. I need a new Idler and Top Gear for it, probably need to rebuilt my shocks, get new bearings to. Im sure the batterys are Junk too...damn this is starting to add up. Its basically sittign while the big truck gets fixed.

Rusty's are a blast though, tough as nails too. I've got a rustler that I built as a joke for the guys at the shop with a Lehner and MGM brushless setup that'll hit 65+ for about 12-14 minutes. It sure is fun, not as bad $$ too compared to full size stuff.

Esteban, where did you get those body panels?

Esteban probably used sheet metal knowing him but a lot of guys use something like this...

Easy to cut and looks realistic after painting it.

Yeah, I cant do that.
I bought a Baja about 4 weeks ago (1/5th scale offroad buggy) and have since parted out my nitro and my 1/18th scale. I want the new Tamiya 4x4 Hi-Lift coming out, it looks like a remake of the Bruiser. Only downside is it has a F350 body on it. It would be badass to get one with a Blazer body on it! I just couldnt justify spending 300+ on an old Blazin Blazer body!

That's exactly what i did. I started with a full bodied Clod buster body and cut it all up to make it look Blazer-Like.
Here is a link to my album where you can see it being built.

Id be half tempted to trade/sell it minus electronics for a hydro sm465.

here's my crawler.
it's a tlt based rc.

Partial mockup of what I'm making. Chassis will be 1/4" and 3/16" brakeline, with 1/4" solid aluminum links; 14" WB with Clod axles. Motivation will be oh-so-1990: a Novak 610RV ESC and a pair of Trinity Matched Madness motors.

Cool, keep us posted.
I'm excited for Tamiya's new Hi-Lift to hit the shelves at the shop. Looks like it'll be a blast to mod.

I want to build one. Is there plan's or some thing? and where do you get all the cool parts? I was thinking of getting a gas powered truck I think the RC10gt but I would like the crawler better.

I finally took a few pics of what I've done so far.
The design keeps morphing as I go; it doesn't look much like the sketch I initially made.
***EDIT*** I forgot to re-size; the attachments are huge! If you're on dialup, and you wanna see them full-size, go get another beer... it'll be a while.

Why PM? I want the hook up, I've got an acura RSX (cool but limited) and a hover craft that doesn't really work all that well....
