1/18 Nylint - Rock Crawlers

[wkxtreme]

is that a good size for a begin in rc rock crawlers

it really depends on what kind of play area you have, if you have lots of room go with the 1/6 scale crawler, if not, go with the 1/18.

For the price, the 1/6 would be much better, (only about 5 dollars more)

$5 for the crappy one, but do they even sell the better ones? i have only seen the cheap no good ones.

i live outside of beaumont,tx here we don't only rock cliffs but my parent have rock graden w/ cactuses grow inside the rock graden. its only 4ft cross an the width 4 ft i figure out 1/18 nylint rock crawler easy maneuver in that size rock graden.

my play areas (outside of the trail or two) are only about that size, and my 1/18 is perfect for them, but if the 1/6 was as cheap as it is now I would have bought the big one at the time, now I have a 1/6 on it's way though.

somthing to remember is the 1/18 are not digital proportional, and the 1/6 are. If you are new to RC's that means the 1/6 can go as slow or fast as you want, while the 1/18 is "all or nothing", so you can't do as precise maneuvers with it. The 1/6 is also easier to modify and there are more replacement parts avaliable for it.
