the reason you havent found anything searching is because it seems to be new. i want about 10 of em. the only problem i see it the motors are mounted really high. another thing is, it seems really wide to be using 1.9s...

Defender · 06-22-2008, 08:43 AM

could be the picture, but the motors look smaller then 540s too.

Yeh they are probably 380s or 400s like they use in 1/18 cars and buggys. It looks like it's potential as a living room crawler and it would be interesting to see how supple the tyres are. It would be great to a micro crawler class start up.

Isn't that the Anderson? Same truck that Duratrax distributes in the US, Yokomo distributes in Japan and I believe LRP distributes in the UK.

rezotop · 06-22-2008, 01:03 PM

body is ugly and it seem to have to much plastic

...pretty much..

...I had a look at it at the LHS and it doesnt seem TOO bad...LOTS of plastic though...Might be worth it for just the axles though...

grob23 · 07-10-2008, 07:08 PM

hmm if those are 1.9 plastic beadlocks...

yeah, I'd buy a set of those wheels!

I agree: ugly body...

BitHed · 07-10-2008, 07:14 PM

...here is the Duratrax page...

http://www.duratrax.com/cars/dtxd18-...ber/index.html

...I am 99.9% sure its the same truck as the Yokomo...

I guess i could grab the ARTR and sell off the rims and tires

i dont think ANYONE would want to BUY that body lol...

2JSC · 07-10-2008, 07:41 PM

It's the same damn thing as the Duratrax. This has been covered before.

supercrawlerfreak · 07-13-2008, 12:26 AM

I disagree, look closely at the axels and chassis of each truck they arent the same at all, same design maybe but not the same truck

I disgree... I like that body alot. But I'm kinda of drawn to Old Chevys.

maxgil05 · 08-01-2008, 04:31 AM

Which servo is good for this mini cl challenger crawler?

salteen · 08-01-2008, 05:30 AM

I've seen some videos of that thing on youtube and I was kind of shocked that Yokomo had a crawler.

Axles are same , the way its assembled looks retarded on the Yokomo(what do you expect they make drifters since the beginning of time).
and looks like there is overall more useless plastic in the Yokomo including the crappy TVPs.

It is not the same as the duratrax. I have a duratrax in my hand and the axle casings and chassis is different. It may be made by anderson, but it is not the same vehicle.

So do you know if the axles are same , gears wise and other hardware???

JohnRobHolmes · 08-01-2008, 03:22 PM

I don't know that much since I have never taken apart the yokomo.

maxgil05 · 08-05-2008, 09:13 PM

The axle and gears in the axle are different, I have download the manual of cliff climber and cl challenger and can see the difference from the assembly drawing.
