Back pack crawler?
 

So since im done with school I have decided to dedicate this summer to biking 200 miles before im off to college. I had the great idea of bringing a crawler with me because I like to go off road a lot and I always see great crawling spots but I never have a rig with me. So my question to you guys is if you had only a back pack to carry a small rig plus your contoler what rig would it be?
Thanks

Depends on the backpack. Might be able to fit a losi mini. Or strap a ax10 or scx10 on the outside.

Should be able to fit an scx10 into a decent sized backpack. My jk will fit into mine with the tx. But again, doing a long ride, remember to carry lots of water with you, may be more important than the crawler ;)

here is the back pack im using.
Ozark Trail 19L Kalispell Backpack: Outdoor Sports : Walmart.com

It wont go in the back pack it will be straped on the outside and I dont think a scx10 will fit. I have a twin hammer right now and its barely fits in that spot. I also dont have to worry about water because I have a 2L water pack in the back pack itself.

Build a quick and simple shafty

Maybe Losi Micro Trail Trekker, but I'd pass on any crawler and do the bike ride. Stuff in pack gets heavy real quick, I'd rather have food, gear, water and emergency med stuff. "thumbsup"

A scx10 should strap on that with ease. But that is going to be extra weight to include charger batteries field tool kit and remote.

I would fill my back pack with Lipos and hike the 20 of the 200. Otherwise, look into a steel wire storage shelve for your bike and strap an scx to it. Biking with a backpack is "fun" enough. Strapping a 6-10lb truck to the outside sounds terrible.

Is it an Art Collage?





Just messing with you :mrgreen:

I also vote to skip the crawler and just ride, but if you must I'd go with an MRC. I'd also skip the back pack and get a rack.

Glad somebody caught it. :)

I would take a losi trail trekker, it weighs almost nothing.

Re: Back pack crawler?
 

Good idea but im not really a comp guy I like scale looks.

I want to climb over rock and not pebbles. I will have food, water and emergency medy med stuff. The back pack also has a water pack in it now!

weight is the big problem here with an SCX10. I like the storage shelve idea but I have no cash right now to buy one. I also like to go off jumps and I would be afraid of it falling off.

*fixed it*:flipoff:
Spelling was never my cup of tea. Thats why im going to a Tech College to get my machinist Diploma.

I think im just going to stick with my twin hammer and build that up to where I want it. Its light, batteries are small for it and hopefully once Im done with it, it wont break as much..

Re: Back pack crawler?
 

I would go for the bicycle cargo rack idea. I would rather have it strapped securely to the bike than to my back.
$20-30 can get you a basic rack from amazon.

Re: Back pack crawler?
 

I usually run a pack with two snap on strapa that allow me to hang a rig by two wheels. With a little creativity you could secure 4 wheels. I'll try to post a pic when I get home.

Offroad bike trailer? Carry all you need then disconnect if you find a spot you want to take the bike off some sweet jumps

Back pack crawler?
 

Hard tail or full suspension bike? I don't know that I'd go rear rack with full suspension. Seems like your only option is your TH in the small, light, and scale dept. maybe a CC-01 would fit the bill in a close second place

Re: Back pack crawler?
 

Thats a great idea but honestly I have fallen off my bike before going up hills and stuff I have also left my bike on the path before and walk a bit so I would rather keep it with me.


pictures would be great!

Another great idea but I would be worried about the cost and going up dirt hills.

Hard tail and yeah a Twin hammer seems to be the best bet. With a CC01 I believe the bodies sit to high and I would have to figure out a different place to attach it.

Something more of a small sporty pack with plenty of tie down options!

Hiking seems like a better idea, but this option keeps it secure if you ride offroad.

IS IT AUGUST YET???

Re: Back pack crawler?
 

i strap the lcc to my backpack no problem, carry it pretty often when i feel like going out and about. a quick carry bag for me is:

the dc charger
basic tools
enough batteries to outlast me
the camera bag
a nalgene
tripods
gloves
bag of gates
foams maybe
shock oil maybe

the biggest problem area for me is the transmitter, i have a pistol case cut to fit it, but its doesn't fit in the pack well. i usually have it around my neck with a strap. can pack around all day (or until the batteries are dead) and not be too sore the next day. organization is key, a place where everything goes and interferes with as little else as possible.

I have a volcom Skateboard backpack that I use all the time. I can fit an MOA, Sport Radio and tools with lipos rather easily. Yet its not to bulky.
