Default My First Crawler

Moving is fun... not... But, as I was unpacking a box that I haven't touched for a loooonnnngggg time I came across my very first rock crawler (old school crawler), complete with the remote I made for it, and it still works!!!

That's pretty cool! Those tires were pretty unique. I had a few like that but I don't think they were remote control.

Dude...that's a stomper!!!! I had like 20 of them..and a couple of them that float...those were sooo cool...that was one of the 2nd generations..the first had really skinny tires. IF I remember right...these had low gear, high gear and free wheel...maybe that was the 3rd generation....

I used to have a whole fleet of these when I was a kid, they were the duce!

If memory serves there were three kinds of stopmers. The first one was on/off with thin hard tires, the second on was the same, but had soft tires, the third was like the one in the pic, wide tires and two-speed.
