Hello, my name is Blake i have a trail trekker and it has all the basics flipped the tranny, took the foam out of the tires and so on. I was thinking about making it into a scaler, i was going to buy a model kit and make a whole new chassis to fit the body but wasnt really sure how to go about doing this, thanks guys and girls. ;)

Hello!

My name is Nick, currently the micro rock crawler is the only crawler I own. I've been in the hobby a while now and have finally decided to take some time away from my 1:1 jeep and work on some smaller scale toys to play with on the trails here in Colorado.

Hello, Rodney From Portland Or here.

2 months ago I gave all my old (10yr old) R/C trucks to my nephew and right away I wanted another R/C.
So it is true , Ya don't know what ya want till ya give it away..

Long story short.
I have a 1:1 95 Suzuki SideKick that I'd go Crawlin in and thought I just had to
have a Mini-Me. (cheaper in the long run)
Luckily I bought the body I wanted to use a few yrs ago for some unknown Chassis.. It's a Zuki thing..
Searching for the right Chassis, I found myself here..
Then I bought a ACX10 Dingo because I knew I needed the shortest chassis for my SideKick (Descender body).
So I thought I'd build a Scaler..
It Runs, Crawls and looks (from the outside) just like my 1:1.
Thanks to this Forum, I'm going to build the inside..

Well, I just ordered a Losi Micro Rock Crawler and wanted to introduce myself here. I am just looking for a change of pace and something that will break less than my other 45+MPH cars. I am super excited for this crawler to come, it will be my first one ever and I just wanted something cheap that I could fit in my backpack and take to friends houses.

Now, I guess I have to tell you about myself!
I am from North Pole, Alaska and love RC.

Hey! Signed up for the forums to lurk around and learn more about micro crawling. I stumbled across a Losi mini crawler from a friend for $60 and love it. Thinking about going micro but having some problems with indecision about the best micro crawler by brand. Can't find many used on ebay (two total!?) and the ones I find are broken! SO for now, I'll keep reading about how they work and how to mod them, and I'll play with my mini crawler. Maybe over the winter....

Impulse bought a micro trekker yesterday..let the mods begin!

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself.

I run a trekker with shortened springs, battery located on rear axle, Danally 90T motor, 10T pinion, trimmed tires, and right now I'm in the process of trying to mount some Mickey Thompsons Baja Claws. I'm somewhat new to crawlers, but already this site has taught me a lot! I look forward to learning more about crawlers in general and building up my Ridgecrest and Honcho to be more capable machines.

The online RC community of people is and always has been awesome! Thanks!

Hi everyone my name Mike (noob) and I have a few 1/10 scale crawlers and thinking about getting another micro.I bought a hsp 1/24th crawler and had it for a day before burning up esc.Now I'm trying to decide between a 1/18 or 1/24 losi cralwer to play with indoors.
UPDATE Well,I gave away the hsp and now have a Losi mini crawler a mini pro a micro crawler and a micro trekker. I think I really like the trekker and can't wait to get a scale body on it.I picked up a Hummer toy for 6 bucks with great detail.Will post pic's when complete or near.

[destnyc]

whats up guys.... i'm kinda new to crawlers but not rc's... i got into rc's about 3 years ago and i had bought the losi mini and micro rock crawlers but at that time i lost interest in them because i wanted the rc's with more speed so i sold them... few months ago i started regretting selling them because i got hit with the crawler bug and i wanted them again... to help quench my addiction i bought the crawler/scaler that gave me the fever which was the RC4WD Trail finder 2


then i got my son the vaterra ascender.. he's 4 years old and is really into fire trucks so for Christmas i got him this



and now that my TF2 is all built i dont want to get it dirty maybe it will become my shelf queen or maybe not none the less i went and got another one in hopes ill get this one dirty



the weather hasnt been that good, stuck in doors so i ordered a trekker as well to play indoors in my parking lot..



i have always been a big micro fan so now i want to build a micro toyota hilux to match my tf2 which is the new project im working on now will get the crawler x chassis and maybe build my own cage like a mini wraith ill post pics as the progress starts

wish i would have joined this forum long ago....

[sdmf]

I just got the trail trekker today. It was OK, I weighted the front wheels and the frame. Climbs better for now, until I get new tires.

[hobby machine]

hello I have a 1/24 scale micro crawler with 1/25 AMT Ford Explorer and bronco model bodys Wheel base 4.5 inch lengthened With DP springless chassis and adjustable tie rods from mini t running Xcelorin 8750kv 1/36 brushless with 7.4v lipo with spectrum receiver stock spur an 12t pinion also has rear wheel steering Mickey Thompson Baja Claws 6 of them because I 3d printed a dually wheel adapter I also made snow chains Plow trailer and now am working on a ford dump truck

[twodollarbill]

Here is my new Trekker. Out of the box I pulled the foams, spun the springs up on the shocks and flipped them to give it a lower stance and help with COG. I also decased the ESC. I had a bunch of 1S lipos laying around for my micro quadcopters so i've been using those to give me longer runtime. I haven't timed it yet, but my 600mah is probably giving me about 2-3x more than the stock NiMH battery.

The kids love it and fell over themselves to grab their blocks and start building a course. Driver training is needed for them to tackle the course though. They are all throttle.
