Without fail, everyday we get tons of newbies posting that they have arrived at our site. While this is great and we welcome you, we don't need a thread for every single person.

If you start a thread like that someone will most likely send you to this thread.

Give us the general info:
Who you are?
What kind of rig you have?
Where you live?

If you have a specific question, be sure to use the search feature, and look around. There is a good chance it's been asked before, if not bring it on!

Hey, I'm a newbie.........................

What up ya'll. I'm way up in the (supposedly) frozen North called Canada. Thanx in part to your killer webpage....and all the associated links off of it..........I've decided to dive headfirst into the R/C Crawler world, and scratch build my first crawler chassis.

I'll likely be asking plenty of questions...........and will of course post pics when done. But for now...............hey, nice to meet ya.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

Jason, you forgot to put "Read existing threads or search to see if what you're wondering has been covered, and if you have a question pertaining to that subject, reply to it with some more questions"

We have like two pages of threads here and seeing "What tires should I run" three times on one page makes me laugh :lol: :lol:

I'm not a n00b but I'll set a good example

My name is Dave... go figure. I have a clod, it may not have driveshafts but its better than your rig :flipoff: I run about 6-8 packs a day feeding my addiction. I am in Suckramento, CA. Moving to Flagstaff, AZ in three weeks. :)

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

Dave, Jason did mention it.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

I added it after his idea :wink:

Top oda mornin to yas,

Name is Ben and come from Melbourne Australia, Currently have an Inferno buggie that has been customised in to a Hummer-crawler. It was called Buggles as a buggie but my mates call it No5 now as it looks like No5 is alive. Personally I like I-Maxx but hey call it what you want.

This has eventuated from looking at all these very informative forums and having a go. I love my 1:1 crawling and well what better way to have a mid life crissis that get more toys.

I have a super cold in the mail and will thank you all in advance for the education you have given me in the world of rc crawlers.

Cheers guys

hey everyone,I am new and dont have any rock crawlers yet ,but I have a sport-maxx,nitro mt racer,a mini-t,and a old losi lxt.I live in grants-pass oregon.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

My name is Zach. My crawler of choice (and only crawler) is my Sassy chassis based Clod. I ditched the top tub, and made my own radio tray. Then I mounted the shocks on the links, and it became a crawler. I drive it where-ever there's good terrain in Central, Oklahoma. I also own a T-Maxx and an Electric Pede. Both have a fairly large list of hop-ups.

I'm not new to RC or on-line forums. In fact I'm a moderator (along with Highmark who's a member here also) over at RC Jims Place.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

Hi,
My name is Bob and I'm a rockcrawleraholic...but my crawler by choice has been in the shop for quite some time (Jeep), so out of desparation to feed my needs, I'm turning to rccrawlers. After doing some web searching, I am leaning towards a TXT-1 from Tower hobby.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<

Hey Ya'll. I'm Dave from San Jo and I have been crawling for sometime. Both in the fullsize world on the Rubicon, Fordyce and my favorite trail Barrett Lake in my CJ7. I've crawled a bit in the scale world with my Wild Willy 2. It doesn't climb for sh!@t but with it locked up and Masher 2000's with no foams it does ok. I'm stepping up now though with a still in box TXT. After I get some more work done on the 1:1 crawler I'll start the build process on the TXT. Great board and see ya on the rocks both big and little.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<

Texan here....new to RC's, but not 4-wheeling. Personally...I think this is a great concept (rccrawlers), and I can't wait to save up some money to get involved in it. I've already started planning out a rock garden in the backyard...less grass to mow if I get it my way :twisted:

I personally enjoy fabrication, and I can't wait to get my hands dirty working on a scaled down Electric rig. I still can't figure out how I'm going to get to use my favorite tool, my Sawzall, on this small of a rig though....hmmmm.

Here's a picture of my other "toy"....but it's gotten so expensive that I really am excited about scaling down . :oops: http://www.texasoffroad.net/albums/l...pic.sized.jpeg

hey hey. ive been readin the boards for a while and decided id join. my real names matt. my crawler is a extreme xc2 modded heavily for crawling. i also have a slightly modded stock clod that hauls my crawler.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

w00t

hey everyone, my names ken, and im an RCaholic.

i got out of it when i was a kid. a few weeks ago a friend sold me his RC10GT and im hooked like a fish all over again. so now its off to see what kind of damage i can do building my own crawler (definitely NOT from scratch for a while) and ripping up small pieces of the connecticut country side.

i plan on buying a few RCs over the next several months. i have my nitro stadium truck, and i was going to get an electric stadium truck too, which i still might. but it will get bumped back for an RTR monster truck. i smell a clod in my future perhaps. oh, and an Xmod supra :D

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

Nice body's extreme!!!! :flipoff:

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<

Hi whats up, I have been into Rc's for a while. I used to race off road and of course always played with Rc cars and trucks.

I currently put together a kit that I have had for a while. I built an HPI RS4MT. I know crazy huh. Well any way it works good for a 2.2 crawler.

What I did
Modified stock suspension for flex
Losi XXT rear shock on front
Losi XXT front shocks in rear relocated
RR racing ball diffs converted to spools
Masher 2000s on Traxxas stampede fronts on thick hex drives.
Airtronics 94157 servo
Novak Rooster
Koyoso 540 planetary 1:75 gear down unit

I run a Fj40 body on custom mounts. It looks real close to scale.
The crazy thing is it actually works well. I would like to hook up with the Oregon guys I seen on a 4X4 site I frequent.

Edit 12/29/05: man what was I thinking! well any, I have graduated to a full blown TXT tuber. Boyer Chassis, e-max tranny,lst tires, rock rings, bla bla bla. :lol:

The Jeep in the avatar was a TLT I built and ran for awhile.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

uhh Hi my first post, been lurking for a while.
Got a clod scratch built chassis, links. Im going to dump it all and re-build (I built it back in 96 or 97)
26 from Hawaii been in to "real" R/Cs since I was in the 6th grade, before that was all radio shack crap. my 1:1 is a lifted Tacoma just wheeling not rock crawling. I also run http:4x4hawaii.com when Im not busy....or lazy. The site is in desprate need of an update. but Ill get to that later. So yeah HI! :flipoff: BTW I kinda like this finger smiley better http://home.hawaii.rr.com/nktrnl/pic...2up%5b1%5d.gif :lol: have a nice day.

Re: Attn: NEWBIES POST HERE<<<<<<
 

Sup everyone. Yeah im a noob but not a noob to the hobby. I am 18 and I live in Oregon City OR. I have a clod with the crappy esp 4 kit. Looking to make a tube frame soon. If anyone has a tube fame that they would sell or trade please email me. And I have to say this site is super sick I spent all day yesterday on here. I like alot..
