Default $12 toys-R-us crawler.

Just picked up a Superslick monster 4x4. Other than the crude paint job its still stock. Anyone have one of these? Mod ideas. I has a ok amount of flex for what it is.

Yea, that pretty much it. But its a 1:24 and looks like it has some potential. I need to figure out how to lock it and get a better moter and I think it would do just fine.

With the LSSM shock mod you can get nearly 80 degrees of flex with it. Go to Mini-Z racer and search for it. You'll find some sweet threads.

I almost bought one last night. I was going to put a Glue together Model Jeep on it and make a 1:24 Scaler...

Why does everyone bust on Nylints, I love mine.

This $12 toy, looks like it will need some mods to do any crawling, it has no ground clearance at axles or belly.

Good luck if you mod.

The question is does anyone have the 1/43 version of the Super Slick ? If you do then I will buy it from you and you name the price.

I got one of those a long time ago when they first came out. I never really did much with it, but I did drive it COMPLETELY underwater for quite some time and it still works perfectly.

Then I finally found a 1:43 and built it. Pics of it are on the bottom of this page:

Never liked it for crawling, but it was fun to bash.

Drop in a different motor. Open the axles and hot glue the diffs and its fun to mess around with.
