Hi everyone, im from croatia, not a total crawler noob but not far from it  I just registered and made a thread on my current project but when i clicked to post it some message popped up but was gone immediately so i didnt have time to read it and my thread didnt show up. I tried to make a thread in the testing section and everything went fine.. Do admins have to approve my thread or something so it will show up later or should i just go and try again? I tried to find the answer on faq and rules but came up with nothing. I hope i put this in a right topic , please move it if its in a wrong place EDIT: solved the mistery, mods need to approve it Last edited by Oddball; 05-04-2016 at 05:53 AM. |

Newbie here, trying to get info for the next build for my 7year old, he has an Axial Rubicon Santa brought him but his over-achieving dad built the back yard crawler course too big for the 1.9 so now we have no choice but to build a 2.2 crawler |

Hey all! Soon to be noob here. Rusty from Nashville, TN. I am about to purchase a RTR for my first RC, but plan on building a kit after that, so I can get my hands dirty some too. All of the sweet videos and pics have given me the bug to get in on this action. The main 2 options I am looking at now are the Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and just saw the Vaterra Ascender Bronco. I was wondering what opinions are for each? Also what would your first upgrade be on a stock RTR? (I will mostly be trail/rock crawling and trail riding) Last edited by RustyECrawler; 05-06-2016 at 09:05 PM. |

Hi all, My name is Glenn and I'm new to r/c 4 wheelers. I did run r/c nitro boats in the past(a lot less parts than a 4 wheeler). I bought a RR10 and a Yeti to get started. Very nice workmanship in the readers rides!!!

Hello to all, glad to be a new member here. My only previous experience with RC was a Tamiya Subaru Brat that I had a long time ago but have always enjoyed building models. Recently purchased a Vattera Blazer, looking forward to learning from the experts on the forum. As a DAV I'm always looking for things to do within my capabilities, challenges and hobbies that are relaxing. I reside in the Rocky Mountain region.

Hey all, Kenny here and I currently reside in Abilene Texas. I am in the Air Force, so who knows where I'll end up next. I just got into the hobby about 8 months ago with my oldest son and I really dig the scale trucks and crawlers where my son likes to race. I currently own a Trail Honcho; but I am looking into building a custom crawler using Harley's IBEX chassis template. I just need to figure out what options are out there for axles and if they fit into my budget. Looking forward to learning a lot from you guys and meeting some of you if your in the Abilene area. Also if anyone knows of any good places to run in Abilene let me know, the flat backyard is starting to get boring, lol. |

Good evening, My name is Rocky and I am in Utah. Been lurking around here for a few months and finally joined. Just ordered an Axial SCX10 Deadbolt and it should arrive next week. I can't wait to get my Deadbolt and start learning the skills needed to successfully drive it. It should help me get a lot of much needed exercise. I'm looking forward to learning all I can about this aspect of the hobby. My previous RC experience has been with small quadcopters (Dromida Ominus and Blade Nano QX) and messing around with the Hobbico Micro Sizer cars. I already have a balance charger and have ordered two 5000mah 2s 25c batteries to go with my new truck. Also ordered some hardware so I can use the spare parts to convert the front suspension to 4-link and maybe experiment with moving the battery tray to the front. I'll leave everything alone for a week or so to make sure there are no warranty problems then the first thing I will do is cut off the Tamiya battery connector and solder on a Deans connector. Going to put some LEDs on it and concentrate on learning how to drive before going wild with stuff like aluminum links and other stuff like that. Looking forward to learning as much as I can from all of you fine folks here. Hope to see some of you out on the trail sometime. |

Hi everyone, good to be here, I've been flying RC for 25+ years, but only last month got bit by the crawler bug and found my way to this forum where I've been reading a lot. Just to get a taste of this new side of RC for me, I bought an Everest 16, weighted the wheels, added rear steer, shimmed the left rear shock to reduce torque twist, added lights, 2s lipo, and clipped off alternating nubs on the tires. Quite an amazing bit of fun for $100, and now I'm hooked. I'm not going to be a competition guy, but I do want to have a reasonably capable couple of rigs without breaking the bank. I'm now contemplating buying either 1) Everest 10 and doing the Axial locker/axle mod and a 35T motor, 2) Rockslide 10 and wiring in a mom switch to achieve rear DIG, 3) Losi Night Crawler 2 and leave it stock, or 4) Save my money and wait to jump into the deeper end of the pool with either an XR10 or Losi Comp Crawler, if I can ever find one used somewhere. If you see a noob hovering over a rock pile somewhere in the foothills northeast of Los Angeles this summer, it's probably me.  |

if you guys wants to mod in moderation.. and maximizing the scx10, you have to read THIS THREAD on Stock SCX10 Performance Tech it has about 18 pages, but for me it's worth reading.. well have fun guys.. |

Hello everyone, I have been in and out of the RC hobby for years. My son just recently got a SCX10 G6 for his birthday and two days later I needed a Deadbolt. I've been lurking for a while and this forum seems to be the go to place. I also enjoy the 1:1 Jeep life so trailing and light rock crawling is what we enjoy in both scales.

Hi newbie here, back from a fair with a new HSP Kulak 1/18 crawler. Neve had a crawler before although with my son we had several offroad cars in the past years, from 1/18 to 1/10, nitro and electric. First run with the mini crawler today on the sofa and around the living room with lot of fun. Hope to find advices here around on the forum and (hopefully) also to advice others and share experiences. Bye! P.S. I'm 45 from Italy. When I don't play RC (I owned also several helis and planes, not just cars) I work as system engineer for an aerospace company. I also play the clarinet sometime, but that's a different topic...
