I told you it wasn't easy!  Maybe look at the complete crawler kits available from www.thecrawlerstore.com ? There are a number of vendors who will build you complete rigs on this site as well... DoubleJ, colquittcustoms405 are 2 off the top of my head. there is also the for sale section where deals can be found... especially if you have a Rx/Tx and receiver suitable for crawling that you can scavange from another rig. |

Unholy is doing a good job of breaking ya in. I dont wanna jump on ya too much now but knowing the terminology is important. spending a couple of nights on the site could do wonders for ya. Use the stickies....in fact theres a "lingo" sticky some where around here. Try going to each forum and looking at the pictures to gain a feel for what people are talking about. |

And I agree that this site is difficult to navigate until you learn the terminology. What I'd suggest is spend a few minutes going through each of the different sections and start with the "Stickys" at the top. Most of them were designed to give you a brief Reader's Digest version of those types of trucks. Then page through the Galleries to see what catches your eye and then start asking the specific questions. Just a thought....trying to help!

anyway, after I bought it, I was directed to this site to look for modifications, and started looking around, and saw a few of the sweet scale rigs, and decided I wanted one. But after looking around, and reading alot, it seems that the best way to get into it, is to buy a TLT kit, build it, wheel it for awhile. and then go from there (IMHO, also the best way to build a real car/truck). now, I really want to build a scale rig to match the real one that I'm about to buy (4runner...). since I've decided to shoot for a scale rig eventually, I'm going to start with a shafty for the realistic look. but if that's not what you're into....a clod might be better for you. I can say that after wheeling my nylint a ton, the dual motors seems to be a pretty cool idea, and if done right could yeild alot of performance! I hope that helps....and good luck! I feel for ya, The learning cure here is pretty steep. so be patient, and keep looking around. keep an eye on the build threads in the assorted sections to see what people are doing, and what seems to be working. and when you think you're ready....jump in with both feet, and be prepared to screw things up a little.

guywhoeatsthemisses, There has been many discussions on this topic. My personal professional thought is fawk clods and shafties. Well, don't fawk a shaftie unless you play for that team. GO NITRO! Find the Vadginator for all the how to. NITRO is by far the best way to start. As my long life hero George Michael would say, "I Guess It Would Be Nice If I Could Touch Your Body" and "Use some lube, for God sake, It Burns!" Actually, it might have been Boy George. It's all the same. |

Rd, thats what happens when you apply the clutch at wot on a 2 cycle restored cafe bike that is your buddies dads pride and joy. I stood the bike up and ran behind it for like 20 feet before laying the bike down.
