How old are you?

[MaxxZilla]

I was wondering how old the majority of the crawlers are? I am 14, I notice crawling to be a lot less expensive. Except tires, driveshafts, bodys.

[toyofast]

Crawling can have it's less exspensive times but right now it doesn't feel like it for me :D

[MaxxZilla]

Once you get your chassis, drivetrain, electronics out of the way.

[skyjacker_rc_club]

I'm 27, getting my master's in Telecommunications Engineering, so I guess the ME "requirement" doesn't apply to everyone. I have been into RC since I was 12 or 13. My Clod is my 5th vehicle and is my latest project, and kevinlongisland turned me onto it with his Clod and E-maxx crawlers. Besides that, I have always loved fabricating things, from Legos to a kick-stand bracket for my buddy's motorcycle. 8)

We both have a few Zip Zaps and Xmods, plus he has a couple of the Carrera Go car sets.

Then there is his mini slider, late model, Clod Buster, a converted Wheelie King that is now a crawler, a scaler Jeep Liberty, the Cuda and the Suzuki Swift for carpet racing, the Slash, and his most recent addition...the Losi Crawler with the MOA kit on it. (I think that's all of them! LOL!)
