| Re: Why isn't Nitro an option on RC Crawlers? It would be cool at first. BUT, the cool factor would wear off very quickly and it would become a pain in the A** for all the reasons mentioned above. Another minus that occurred to me is runtime. There is no way you could carry enough fuel to get a similar runtime as a battery. Last edited by Inspector86; 05-01-2020 at 05:36 PM. |

| Re: Why isn't Nitro an option on RC Crawlers? I'm a newbie brother. That means I think RC crawling is really cool, but dont know what I'm doing. I came to the proper section for beginners to ask what some might consider to be stupid questions. And then members with more experience are supposed to fill me in. Commenting "This guy!" isn't all that helpful. I'm a newbie so obviously I'm "this guy". Why don't you be "the man" and drop some knowledge. It will be appreciated.

I will add a few more of those conventional words of wisdom... • If you run this in a group of crawlers, you'll be very popular at first, then you'll be very alone. Listening to to the drone of a nitro up close (along with the exhaust) is very unpleasant. • New guy or not, you are an ambassador to the hobby. If you do something stupid or annoying, people are going to think everyone in the hobby is that way. In both a group setting and solo I have seen people get upset and call the authorities because we/I were being a nuisance with our near-silent rigs. Now, imagine how pissed those same people will be with nitro power. • Innovation does not push itself. If you have an idea, pull the thread, see where it goes. If nothing else, you gain some experience. • Last one.... You'll find people on this site to be, for the most part, a happy-go-lucky group of RCers. But, people will make off-hand comments that will make your eye twitch, like "this guy". My best advise, let it go, and don't take it personal. The culture of RCC has changed A LOT. Back when I first got on to this forum, you did not post up unless you were ready to get punched in the face 27 times. There were a good number of trolls that just looked for hapless targets, and lots of minions that would pile on. Hopefully, we'll never go back to that, it made being a new kid rough, and certainly pushed good people away from this niche of the hobby. And, to the "That guy" guy... The new kids are the life blood of our hobby, without "That guy", and many like him (or her), our hobby dries up. We need to foster the new guys, hopefully impart some knowledge of both the technical and etiquette sides hobby. You don't have to have to don the pom-poms and short shirt, and cheer them on, but try not to squash them either. Remember, today's new kid is tomorrow's expert. | |

| Re: Why isn't Nitro an option on RC Crawlers? That's a good point. If the smart ass comments you are holding off were going to be directed at me, launch away so I know where I'm being a clown. I can handle it. :-)

| Re: Why isn't Nitro an option on RC Crawlers? I had to say something. How should it have been worded? I'm not opposed to thicker skinned options so long as I get to respond. Appreciate any advice you have on the subject.

There isn't enough interest in nitro crawlers to warrant a sticky thread. Absolutely nothing wrong with this thread or the questions he's asking. Last edited by JatoTheRipper; 05-05-2020 at 07:28 AM. | ||

i go to bed almost every night listening to wheelers and rockbouncers and 2 strokes dirtbikes living inside a ohv park its kinda unavoidable and i love it hering the buggies bounce off the rev limiter at 3am is a good thing mostly from spooners so i understand but i would give that up if it ment better performance and fewer broken parts i think a full size wheeler would benifit from the same things that rc crawlers do by being electric more torque and better low end control Last edited by ferp420; 05-05-2020 at 07:51 AM. | |

Because electric motors have more low-end torque I would think, theoretically, there's the potential for more broken parts. The extra control given by this instant torque would be better for crawling performance though so I see what you're saying. | |
