Nylint replacement???

[Jammin Crawler]

Well ive been looking around the fourm and different places and I want to get into the rock crawling. So ive been looking around at the nylint rock crawlers, but havent been able to find any nylint's around me. I also found a thread about a mini rock crusher. So I was wondering is there any other rc trucks from wal-mart or other such places, that will work? Mostly I am looking for a complete truck. That I will end up building my own chassie for it. So is there any good wal-mart type trucks that are a good replacement for the nylint?

I cant find any either, I think it is almost all used parts now. Another entry level crawler needs to be made.

if you want to build a cheap crawler, buy some 1:18 axles, controller, and circuit board off ebay (or buy the whole thing depending on price) and then build a chassis out or allthread, mechanical pencil tubes (as a sleeve to keep the threads from eating the pivot points), some nuts, and some aluminum sheet.....

then get some stock TLT wheels and tires from soemone who bought a kit for just the axles....make your own adaptors, there are lots of threads on here about that.....

then get a cheap RC car or truck for a body....

could do it for under $75 total

yeah sorry chassis, but anyway Ill look around on ebay. I have been looking around at walmart and radio shack and I cant find anything with 4wd and solid axles, well walmart doesn't have anything 4wd. it sucks but o well ill look around and see if I can find somthing thanks for the help.

Yup.. nylints are dead and no longer produced... you have a couple options:

ebay for a nylint
toys are us for a Newbright jeep
or build a tlt

from researching. One thread I found somewhere on a rockcrawling forum confirmed this information from communicaiton through a Nylint representative that stated they should be ready to roll out late january february 2007. Pictures were included and everything. I spotted a few new body styles one being the red bronco like I stated above. another one I have seen appeared to be a lunchbox crawler, white with roof accessories. I will try and find the thread again

I really hope they bring them back soon. I wanted to buy one when they were out but never really was all to in to it. But now im dying to get in to rc crawling but dont have alot to spend.

well you have to lock the front diff on the 1:6 newbright and also the suspenion is very stiff and the tires are rock hard. Easy fixes, But it also is no where near as good as the nylint.
