Small Scale
Big Adventure
Take your dream off-roader over rocks, trails, or anywhere the adventure takes you with the Pro-Line Ambush 4x4 Mini Scale Crawler.
Just remember to Do It Scale!


Ladder Frame Chassis
The Ambush Mini Crawler comes stock with a 3mm thick Steel Ladder Frame that forms a Solid Base for the Transmission and Suspension. The Steel Frame Plates are Black Oxide Coated for long lasting protection against the elements. The Frame is capped off on each end with sleek plastic chassis mounted bumpers that protect the body without getting in the way of obstacles on the trail.
Live the Adventure.

Leaf Spring Suspension
Similar to many full-size Crawlers, the Ambush Mini Crawler has a Steel Leaf Spring Suspension connected to Front and Rear Solid Axles. Each corner has a 3-Leaf pack with working shackles and attaches to plastic friction shocks that limit down travel. The Scale Solid Axles provide Full-Time 4wd for maximum Traction and Crawling Performance!
Conquer the Terrain.

Take Control
Control the Ambush Mini Crawler just like your high-end 1:10 Crawler with full proportional control from the included 2.4GHz Transmitter and mini-electronics. The Micro Torque brushed Motor provides all the power you need to Conquer the Terrain and the G9000 Micro Servo gives you plenty of steering power. The integrated ESC/Receiver includes an open 3rd Channel Port allowing for unique customization or future 3rd Channel Option Parts!

Body & Interior
The Ambush Mini Crawler is topped off with the Open Roll Cage Ambush Trail Rig Body that takes inspiration from one of Pro-Line’s first Rock Crawling Bodies ever made and includes a highly detailed Interior and Driver Figure for added Scale Realism. Pro-Line includes an optional Sticker Sheet in Orange or Green Color Scheme so you can Customize your Rig right out of the Box!

Mini Flat Iron Tires / Denali Wheels
Pro-Line had to include the Best Performing and Best Looking Wheels and Tires with Ambush Mini Crawler; Genuine Pro-Line Mini Flat Iron Tires and Denali Wheels! Just like their bigger 1.9” and 2.2” siblings, the Mini Flat Iron Tires provide Incredible Traction on any terrain while maintaining a Scale Appearance. The Mini Denali Wheels are Black and include a Gray Plastic faux Bead-Loc for incredible Scale Detail. Do it Scale.

RPP is showing $183.96, nothing on Tower yet at this time.

This would be a nice addition to my Garden railway.

Ya it's showing out of stock, but I think it's because it was just released, they may be taking pre-orders.

The railroad is G scale at 1/22.5, modeling a narrow gauge short line, non-prototypical. The engines almost dwarf my 1/24 cars, but they still work. If you go to the Large Scale Rigs section, page 2, "New Project (for me)" post #162, on page 9, you can see the benchwork.

Nice train layout, Mike.

I ordered my Ambush directly from Proline. They show that they are available now. Guess we'll see.

They had a live Facebook feed yesterday where they mentioned more bodies and accessories are in the works.

I want one because it's a leaf spring truck.

Mine shipped FedEx today (for free from Proline direct). The email says it will be delivered on Saturday.

The receiver has a 3rd channel available. Proline's website gives the immpression that there will be accessories coming.

Is it a bad sign that I'm already wondering which one of my light bars would fit on the top?

Haven't even ordered one and pondering the upgrades. I have the sickness.

Looked at it more and looks like it the leaf spring mounts on the axle housing could be cut down by about half height to lower ride height too.

That office crawl course was epic. I wonder how long that took to make. I was just looking at my desk at work wondering what it could climb here.

My observations, it appears to be a bit top heavy, suspension and tires seem to be a bit hard, but what are your conclusions, and what can be done to improve the suspension and tires?
