|  4WD Trucks Is any of the R.C. Crawlers, or F-350 or any of the other trail trucks, are nitro or gas. Because the only ones I can find, they are eletric. Or has anyone droped a nitro or gas motor in one. Also do they make like mudding trucks in gas or nitro. Last edited by mattbob18; 03-31-2009 at 11:33 AM. Reason: Forgot to add something. |

Your not likely to see many nitro powered scale trucks. Scale trucks tend to be smaller in size, and the bodies a little more fragile. No ABS plastic injected bodies will hold up to the torture of a roll over with a nitro powered machine. Nitro motors don't like to go slow either. Clutches slip, the engines load up at the low RPMs, and overheat because of the lack of air flow. This is a general thing for all scale trucks and crawlers. In short, there are an awful lot of things that need to be over come, or solved, in order for something like this to work well.

I've see a couple of peeps make a nitro crawl, mainly just to say that they have done it. These trucks are geared super low and the engines have to be ran at a high RPM to get them to generate the torque required to crawl, which wears the engines out very quickly. Plus, nitro engine piss unspent fuel all over the rocks...  |
