After seeing this losi crawler it makes me wonder how small the manufacturers could go with these. I mean could you imagine holding comps on your computer desk! How cool would that be?! I think something around 1/36 scale would be just right!

A 1/36 scale ax-10 or losi crawler would sell like hotcakes

Wible90 · 11-15-2008, 03:36 PM

a USB RC Crawler lol.

JOOTZ · 11-15-2008, 05:59 PM

they`d be selling tons, a lot would get stepped on.

rockintheriver · 11-15-2008, 06:29 PM

For how much time I spend at my desk, I would be one of the first in line.

CreepyCrawl · 11-15-2008, 06:38 PM

This forum keeps me glued to my lappy for more hours than I care to admit, so yeah, I'd hop on that wagon for sure.

Nano Crawler web cam comps?!

Crawling change (coins) just thrown on the desk would ROCK. 1/36 running a 1c lipo o_O im down for 10!

h8z2luze · 11-15-2008, 08:07 PM

I was thinking the same thing right when the mrc came out! That would be awesome. Id buy one for sure!

Nylintbucket · 11-16-2008, 12:54 AM

I've seen a bunch of zip zaps monster trucks made into crawlers, as well as xmods 4x4's. granted, they are toys, but it just show's that it can be done.There are some cool vid's for both on youtube

h8z2luze · 11-16-2008, 01:00 AM

That would be so sweet crawlin around on my desk haha.

ctrwannabe · 11-16-2008, 09:57 AM

Probably should be in the Chit Chat thread, but if a micro crawler ever hits the market, guess who will be behind it...

I should have started this in chit chat but i didnt even think about until i'd already posted it. SORRY!!

Big Mike · 11-16-2008, 03:38 PM

I'd be down for sure. I've wanted a small crawler for a long time.

Losi seems to be the king of micro, they'd be the ones to step up probably.

I've seen a few nice 1:24th scale rigs here but they're full custom. Good luck finding SSMT axles these days.

That would be all it would take for a lot of folks - for someone to just manufacture and sell a good quality pair of axles in a small scale like 1:24th or even 1:36th.

If those techno-nutty Germans can do Matchbox-sized stuff, surely 1:36th scale is not too unrealistic?

Anyone belong to this forum...?

The Mini-Z Overland made an OK crawler. It is only 2WD but the rear diff is lockable and if you build the right terrain...table top crawling. I always thought Kyosho should have or still should make a real 4WD version of these 1/28th trucks.

rbgerrish · 11-16-2008, 09:47 PM

If anyone makes a smaller crawler than 1/16, I hope they go 1/24. It'd be stupid to not utilize the 100's of bodies and scale parts available in the 1/24 and 1/25 model industry!
