Hey out there. Not a newbie. Been a regular over at "That other site" since it's earliest days. Been lurking here for about a year or so. I spend most of my time just reading on the forums but I try to interject when I know what I am talking about. Been into RC for about 15 years. Been clodding for about 10 of those. Right now I have - Stock clod Clodzilla 2 clod - soon to be tuber twin force monster beetle USA-1 electric Lunchbox (rerelease) mini T Xray M18 zipzap jeep Nikko 1/10 Jeep (for the lil daughter) Rustler Villain EX boat I live up in Canada. Thunder Bay, Ontario to be exact. The crawler community here consists of my brother and I and occasionally my wife. This summer we're going to see if we can get a bit of a club going here though. In the next few weeks my brother and I will begin doing up some tuber chassis for our clods and depending on how that goes I might do some sort of shafty with the twinforce axles and tranny. |

Hi, I've been a lurker here for a while now, just soaking up all the usefull iformation. this is a great site, a lot of creativity and people who arent afraid of stepping outside of the box. I live in Lahaina on the island of Maui in Hawaii. I havent met anyone here crawling or even running an electric truck for a while now, seems evey body is on the nitro bug here. so far I have a TTR Clod, 2 stock TXT's, mad force, savage, wild willy2, gravel hound and just got a TLT. hopefully I can get my TLT converted into a crawler soon. |

Hi everyone, my name is gary i live in michigan. I have been involved in rc off road racing for the last ten years. Found this site and got really interesred in rock crawling. I am presently starting a clod based crawler,so far I have a set of axels witch I have locked with shoo goo, and a body. I plan on using a nn chassis. My queston is has any body used proline powerstroke shocks on this chassis, are they too stiff to big or just too expensive, any feedback would be welcome. thanks.SHREK!

Hey guys, i'm Josh.....been lurking around here for a while now. Found alot of usefull info. I don't have a "real" crawler yet. All i have is the NewBright crawler (which seems to be a bad word around here) pictured below. I have done plenty of mods to increase flex and traction without spending a penny. My question is this. What would be a good starter crawler for me? I'm not to familiar with the names of the brands. I'd like a decent crawler but also something to get dirty with. So more than crawl.....but still have the ability to crawl. Thanx for your time. |

That is one fawking sweet @ss nylint. Anyway TLT would probably be the best to start with. Search around, the question has been answered many times before. |

im a newbie to crawlers, but not to rc , i got my first car when i was 8 and im now 14 and my list includes a savage 21 (my baby and second car) MR4 BC for race days, a V12 mardave, a mutant kinda 6 wheel thingy which is stil under construction and a highly modified tamiya TL01 for which i made a range rover rally dakar body and that has winch and a multitude of lights and when i get a dremel im taking out hte belly of that one for better off roading clearance. i live in devon, UK. i hope to make a full metal tuber crawler chassis for a tech GCSE in year 10 at school, then add the electronics and drivetrain for a GCSE in year 11.

| I just now remembered that I've never posted in this thread before... So, a little over a year later, here goes: EDIT: Don't pay any attn. to anything I say, I'm quitting smoking, and I'm a bit loony at the moment... Out of shame and guilt for not having attended a comp in the last couple of months, I've busted myself back down to "quarry creeper." (I think that's what it was...) Technically speaking, I don't even own a complete crawler, but several in various stages of build-up. But, that should change once I finally find a motor, and my frickin' body comes in! I do my best to speak well, put my thoughts/ideas into words, and even try to get the spelling and punctuation correct. I also use way too many emoticons, and I do this....a lot... ....I think it's a nervous tick or something... Anywho, Sincerely, -WRM Last edited by WRMorrison; 01-25-2006 at 01:15 PM. |

Hi guys, I'm Rick, a former R/C Racer of 7 years, before my son was born I sold off $5000 worth of r/c cars and equipment three years ago. I miss the hobby immensly. I was actually looking for a new hobby when I stumbled upon r/c rockcrawlers. Your trucks are awesome. I like the engineering aspects of these trucks. I just purchased my TLT-1 as the base... for my truck I live in Southern New Jersey Last edited by Yeeharacing; 01-26-2006 at 08:43 PM. |

hi my name is scott i live in las vegas, nv... i just found your site about 45min ago and have been searching around and looking into getting another R/C car... i want something nitro because ive only done elecrtic cars in the past but that was years ago (when the associated T3 was brand new is about the time i got out of it...) i love full scale rockcrawling and thought that r/c crawling would be a great way to pass the time between trips out with the quads and trucks... anyway just wanted to say hi. youll be seeing more of me for sure.
