Hello, I'm Jay and I'm in central New Jersey.

Deffinitely newbie to crawling. Not new to R/C. When I was a kid 15+ years ago I had a Clod that got fairly modified but more like a puller, not a crawler. Also had RC10, JRXT, Blackfoot... Got out of it, traded $2000 worth of stuff for a crappy ATV. Dumb kid. Anyway, got into R/C Helicopters about 4 or 5 months ago. They're lots of fun but stressful to fly. So I got an RC18MT for fun. It's LOTS of fun, been heavily upgraded. I've been typing Clod Buster into search engines since I got back into R/C. I'm going to buy soon. I miss my old Clod.

I'm a little nervous about posting here since I don't plan on building my chassis(That is a pre-requisite to join right?). But I guess we'll see how it goes.

-Jay

Oh yeah, anyone in central NJ that wants to show me their crawlers in exchange for lunch? Any good shops in NJ or the area that deal with crawlers and/or Clod parts? Thanks

welcome.. no you don't have to build your own chassis to be on this site.But eventually you will want too

WestCoastPJ · 07-17-2005, 02:03 PM

Hey all...

My names PJ,and I live in Northern California(Sacramento)..I have a TXT,and a TLT.Others include my t-maxx,Rc10T3,T4,Tc3,MT2....When I first got my tlt-1,I thought,ooh man,this thing has no potential..I WAS WRONG..i stumbled accross your site by reading someone elses post on another forum..My current project is my txt..Learned everthing from this site

..I would take time to thank the members of Rccrawler for being considerate and helping me out.so,THANK YOU!

I wanted to know if anyone know where some good crawling places are around here....Also,I see that people are mostly running MOABS and LST's for their tires.What are the best tires without any modifications to them(cutting treads,narrowing,etc.)?Thanks!

HMMMM, think about that one

JohnRobHolmes · 07-17-2005, 08:25 PM

whatup bigyjay.

i agree on the heli's, they are stressful to fly. its like trying to balance a ball bearing on a sheet of glass while running. its just not relaxing!

welcome and such.

I go by Garcol. I live in Everett Wa. And i play with my SuperSlick Monster Truck. Although not propo, it is slightly modified to crawl around on rocks etc.

RichieRich · 07-31-2005, 10:20 PM

Hello there. I've been rc racing since 1986 when I got my Tamiya Frog. I think crawling is kinda neat so I thought I'd check it out. I've been using my Blackfoot Xtreme as a crawler. I know it's not hardcore but neither am I at this point. I just realized that the Proline FJ40 body is discontinued after I had measured and found out that the body will fit my blackfoot nicely. Dang!

Hey guys what's up? I saw a thread on Pirate4x4.com about the 1/6 Scale Nylint Crawler and it had a link to here. So I have been searchin and now I am thinkin about startin my own build and maybe pick up the 1/6 Scale Nylint to hold me off till I am done. I also have a Toyota truck that I do real Rock Crawlin w/ I figured I could tale my mini w/ me so when someone breaks on the trail I can mess around while I wait
