Went to a New Years party last night at a friends house and broke out the clod. I was crawling the woodpiles near the camp fire and 1 of the redneck friends started spouting off that he was going to make a 1.1 rig that would articulate and crawl as good as the RC. We all had a good laugh at his drunk arse and told him "Fat Chance". The guy seems to have plenty of money but i am going to pick at him forever about this now. It just aint gonna happen on a full size rig. The Scorpian was the closest i ever saw to being equal to these and even it wasnt the same scale for scale. It will be comical to see this guy blow money hand over fist chasing that dream.

Yeah, I don't think I've seen a 1:1 crawler climb a 10 foot vertical ledge.

I was expecting this to be a thread about a big fight. Who threw the first punch?

sorry to disappoint you. he was bigger than me so i didnt throw any punches. the laughs at him trying this will be all the fun necessary.

so, wait a minute, this guy is going to build a 1:1 clod? Where is he going to get tires and wheels that big? scaled up maxx size wheels are like 32 inches.
