Finally decided to post as a newb, I spent a lot of time as a registered lurker. My name is Adam from Albuquerque, NM. I bought a couple used crawlers from a friend of a friend and then it started... Rig 1: AX10 HBZ Warthog Chassis Novak Rooster Crawler ESC Novak 55T 2S 1500 mAh LiPo Hitec HSR-5990TG Steering Servo East End Machining Double Triangulated Skid STRC Front 4-Link/Battery/Servo Plate Custom Rear 4 Link with 98mm uppers Integy Bent Lowers Losi Rock Claws CKRC Soft Springs 80wt Shock Oil Everything else is stock I think. Rig 2: I gave to my little brother so he can play with us too. AX10 Novak Rooster ESC Integy 65T 2S 4000 mAh LiPo Hitec HS-645MG Steering Servo STRC Aluminum Skid Axial Front Battery/Servo Plate Front and Rear 4-Links Axial Bent Lowers Axial Rock Lizards (for now) Internal shock springs 80wt Shock Oil Classic Betty Body Everything else is stock I think on his too. There's some upgrades on the way so I will have to post some pics later. Thanks for all the info on the site everyone! |

Hi, I witnessed my first crawlers last Sunday the 20th At the North Palm Beach Community Center, and I liked it. Thanks to the organizers for having this forum. Dave

Wanted to say "Hi" and that I hate this site. I've had several RC cars (raced 4wheel-drive sedans for about a year, had a stadium truck, a dune buggy, 2wheel-drive street truck) but none of them seemed to do what I wanted. Then I came across an ad for a crawler about 2 months ago. Well, my axial ax10 rtr will be here via fedex tomorrow. I'll finally have an RC that will go anywhere. I live in the coal region of upstate PA and have tons of places to run it. I'll be posting pics of the areas around here when I can. If anyone else is from the Scranton PA area let me know, would love to get together and run crawlers. RC is not big around here. There are about 10 train stores but no place to buy RC stuff. Why do I hate this site? Because I now need about $1,000 for all the cool upgrades I want...and I haven't even got my crawler yet. |

| Very addicted Newbie
Started with Wheelie King, then bought an Axial. That's where it snowballed into a full comp rig. Also now doing a Losi MOA. This is all since January. Now I need to learn how to set-up and drive.  I'm up in eastern wa and crawl with a bunch of cool guys (EWRCRC). |

Just wanted to post my newbie HI! to the forums. Great site. So much information to digest. I run Truggy, 1/10 onroad and offroad, Helis and 1/18th in the winter at my LHS. Been eying the the crawlers for awhile now and decided to get learned. Looking at building a Super so reading as much as I can with that in mind. As for my first newbie question. Has The crawler store stopped selling the CFNN chassis? I cant seem to find it. Is there anywhere else to pick it up? See ya all around Bryan |

Hey all, I'm new to this site and figured I had better start posting so I don't look so noob-ish with one post I'm new to the R/C rockcrwaling scene, but not to R/C in general. I've got a Traxxas E-Maxx that I'm modding for some crawling/trails/bashing, I'll post some pics later on. It's kind of a budget build for now, I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a turd- I think you all know what I mean. Thinking about buying myself an Axial SCX-10 for christmas  Looking forward to making this my new home, I go off-roading all the time in real life and have always been interested in R/C crawling."Crawler" Traxxas E-Maxx (wide suspension) Stock 2-speed tranny (for now) Kershaw Designs 550 crawler motors Traxxas EVX-2 ESC Aluminum Skids Single springs at all 4 corners Spooled front and rear 4 wheel steering, Traxxas 2075 servos F&R My other (non-crawler) rigs: Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5R Spooled rear Steel opti-drive driveshafts Aluminum Skids Associated RC10T4 Factory Team HPI Firebolt 15T Motor LRP IPC Digital 7.1 ESC Airtronics 94158 Steering Servo |

Figured I'd post an intro. Newbie here, Just bought a used Clod Buster that the previous owner had made some crawling mods to. Figured this would be a good base to start playing with and to get my daughter involved. Looking forward to taking the mass amounts of rocks around my place and creating a rock garden to play in.

Like most others, I'm new to crawling, but not RC. I went thru the T-Maxx and Genesis phase. Time to slow down in my old age I guess. I bought an MRC from a member here, and it's all been down hill since. I'm not sure how many paychecks I can sign over to DMG and ATI before I get divorced, lol. Anyway, I have found tons of good info. here, glad to be a member.

Hi all my name is Gregg and I live in East Tennessee (Maryvile). I just ordered my first crawler a Losi mini rock crawler and went surfing the web for add-on and found TCS and ordered thier TCS Crawlers Aluminum L-Trail Scale Chassis. Anyone have closeup photos of how to put one together? still waiting on the Losi to get here. as I said I am new to crawlers bur have been into RC cars for a while. my first two were a RC12i and a Tamiya Rough Rider when it first came out in 1980.

Hey everyone, im crunky's little brother Chris. Were from right off cape crud. I've been into rc for about 2 years now, i started out with nitro for about the 1st year and a half with a 3.3 tmaxx. Now i dont think id even accept a donation of a nitro rc. Ive moved on to smaller and slower things and just finally bought my first cc-01 with the pajero body. Crunky started it by letting me drive his cc-01 frontier while on vacation, we came home and i bought one of my own about a week later. Im sure ill be asking plenty of questions and adding plenty of feedback. Its a pleasure being allowed to access the forums and ask whatever noob questions im bound to come across. thanks, snax. |
