With the toy fair this week in Germany a lot of new RCs are popping up. Crawlers are no exception. It looks like HPI/Hot Bodies is jumping back into the crawler world with an MOA.
Oh Boy! It is the year of the Toyota in our happy little corner of the RC world. Years ago we begged to have one hard body Toyota, now we have 3 options!
Adventures can happen anywhere. Nothing will give you more fun in the sand, dirt, snow, or mud than the Trail Finder 2. Part scale truck, part adventurer, your TF2 is ready for your mud kicking trail-loving lifestyle!
I first met John (Mthead) years ago on the forum. He is a stand up guy who makes some really cool crawlers and a lot of products that benefit the R/C crawling world. After bugging him for a few months I was finally able to get him to fill out a vendor profile and give us some of the details of Fubar Crawlers.
The Axial family would like to invite you and your family to come camping with us June 22-24th, 2012 in the Tahoe National Forest for AXIALFEST 2012!
With the green star giveaways all wrapped up its time for the big prizes, the RCC 12 Days of Christmas is officially underway and actually 8 days in already. The vendors of RCCrawler.com have pulled out all the stops bringing some of the most amazing giveaways any website has ever seen. These giveaways are offering all the great products you want under your trees!
Well if you have not heard the vendors of RCCrawler.com have set something special up giving away 12 stars to members or RCC. Once the 12 days of Christmas come up then it is time for the big giveaways and believe me you won’t believe it. It really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
RC4WD is at the SEMA show to check out all the new items for the aftermarket truck market. While here we thought why not give Mickey Thompson a cool truck to display in there booth.
It looks like we’re got ourselves a race. HPI Racing just leaked a few pics of their new Apache C1 flux. I did a little research and found some links prepositioned within HPI for a Apache C1 and an Apache SC, presumably referring to “Class 1″ and “Short Course”.
After being hard up for days looking for details about the new Axial EXO Terra Buggy we finally sent out our undercover correspondent to get us the details we’ve all been waiting for. Armed with a badge into the 2011 SEMA Show and his trusty tape measure he was promptly kicked out of the first booth he found that had the EXO Terra Buggy displayed, seems they didn’t want to reveal the specs to us. Not wanting to give up he tried the next booth and was able to get us the info we have been craving.
Axial has knocked it out of the park with this new release, the Axial EXO Terra Buggy. Just days ago we published an article eluding to what we thought this vehicle might be. As it turns out we weren’t too far off the mark. With the SEMA show kicking off today Axial has teamed up with a number of companies to help release the new EXO Terra Buggy.
Last year ToyoFast (Brett) of Bulu Productions put out a fantastic video highlighting all the fun, rigs and driving that was at the 2010 Axial Scale Nationals, this year Brett took on the same project. With a visually stunning journal of all the fun and excitement of the event this years video will be anything but dull.
Tonight I got home from work and running errands and sat down in front of my computer to do some catching up on RCC. I did my nightly rounds on all the sites, then like I always do I headed over to the Axial blog to see if maybe Brad has built something new or added any new tech. To my surprise I see a new article about Racers Only Motorsports Designs
Hey there all you Scale Crawler fans, Pro-Line has some new Scale tools and accessories sets releasing soon! These can be combined with the existing accessories or used on their own. Here is a brief look and run down of what to expect in the coming weeks!
If you have been searching around the forums today you may have noticed that TCS is doing three giveaways right now. Each one is for around 50.00 in product from their website www.tcscrawlers.com For more information on the giveaways check out the details and the threads listed below.
RCCrawler.com has teamed up with Axial to get a BRAND NEW Wraith kit in the hands of one of our lucky subscribers before they are available in stores!
We all know RC4WD puts out the most scale items in R/C rock crawling, but honestly with such scale looks its hard for parts to be very capable, especially tires, well RC4WD has been listening and they have a new super soft tire compound out. The buzz around the water cooler is they work really well too.
Starting out RC4WD has produced two tires with the new compound, both class 1 sized tires. Before class 1 was for street trucks where looks out weighed performance, now it is about looks, and performance.
RC4WD released the 10th scale Land Rover Defender 90 a little while ago, they are great looking trucks, but left crawlers wanting more. While they are great looking trucks, there was no four door option, with the only viable solution to cut apart two D90’s.The short wheelbase left something to be desired in those steep climbs that crawlers often see. Well, RC4WD looked again to Land Rover this time with the Defender 110, the D110 is almost identical to the Defender 90, but the 110 offers a longer body and a longer wheelbase to go with it. The wheelbase from the D90 to D110 stretches from 11.10” to 13.14.” While just having this body is great RC4WD does one better, The Land Rover Defender 110 is now available as a ready to run crawler.
If Axial wasn’t busy enough with getting the Wraith out in a kit they are now. Axial has released new links as well as new flanged ball ends. As many know its all about the details and the little things when trying to keep a rock crawler in one piece. Axial just added to our relief by putting out some more durable parts to allow our crawlers to take a beating.
But you don’t have to take my word for it check out the specs.
The day has finally come, thats right the Axial Wraith has officially been announced in Kit form. Word has been spreading over the forum board, that the Wraith kit was coming, but no one knew exactly when or just what it would come with. Now the time has come, Axial has released all the facts about this long sot after rock racer.
