Introduction and question concerning MicroCrawlers

[DieterHH]

Hello,

I am writing from Hamburg, Germany.
50 Years old, have some (older) experience with nitro driven RC-Helis and some newer experience with e-RC-Helis, but
I'm quite new to the crawler world and I am looking for RTD crawlers in scale 1:32.
Unfortunately, my research has not produced any satisfying results so far.
If there are some models/sets available (mostly in 1:35), these are build-it-yourself kits.
Or RTR-Crawlers that are not available in Europe, only in the US.

So I am looking forward to getting pointed in the right direction.
Thanks in advance and best regards,

Dieter

Have you seen the Axial SCX24? Not sure if that is micro enough

Like Aqua said, the Axial SCX24 is a popular RTR in the US.

Otherwise kits might be your only option for that small scale from what I've seen.

Can you not buy US products? I buy EU and China RC parts quite often.

Thanks for your Input, Aqualung and Hoyle.

Of course I have seen the SCX from Axial.
But: Horizonhobby is the official distributor for Axial in Germany, and currently only some 1:10 are available in Germany.
Not one SCX model in 1:24.

And when ordering in the US in most cases shipping an Customs almost double the price....

Regards,

Dieter

Dieter, mein Freund!

Search for Orlandoo (with 2 "o") R/C vehicles, 1/35 scale.

That's about all that's out there, and unfortunately they are kits.

Durok,

thanks for the update.
Seems like I have to buy a magnifying glass and an Orlandoo Kit und build it myself.

Hopefully, the interest in micros gains a little momentum in the future....

Dieter

Hi Dieter,


in this size i only know the orlandoo kit as mentioned by durok.
If you dicide to get one of these you can order it from Hobbyking.com https://hobbyking.com/de_de/catalogs...orlandoo%20kit , they have an EU warehouse.


Viel Spass beim bauen und fahren

Thanks, Yeti (oder "Moin"),

I just looked at hobbyking - the Pajero currently costs only 38€ (after putting it in the basket) – unfortunately, the electronics/motor is currently not available at hobbyking.
And I am not sure which transmitter/receiver I will use, so I still have some research to do to answer

- which engine to use
- which servo to use (Orlandoo servos are low voltage as far as I know)
- which receiver
- which transmitter
- which esc.

But we are getting there - thanks for all your help!

Regards,

Dieter

Dieter, here is a great way to start your research:

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/searc...rchid=10998885

There are 70+ threads on the forum about the Orlandoo series of vehicles...

I hope this helps!



Bis spater,

Hello Durok,

tried your search - unfortunately, searches seem to bei user-Specific. Got an error message.

Which terms did you search? Orlandoo?

Thanks again,

Dieter
