Default Pti Goliath General Disscusion Thread

I have a pti goliath and find it very hard to find info. The threads are few and far in between. Why dont RCCRAWLER.COM have a dedicated thread for this crawler??? A crawler is a crawler right??? Please I think that I speak For a lot of goliath owners; we need a place to discuss hop ups', mods, and just general discussion. RCCRAWLER.com IS the FORMOST leader in info on rc crawlers. I think its time to quit snubbing this crawler and give owners a place to talk. Thanks, Raped_Ape

I second the motion. There will be a day when the TLTs are all gone and the goliath will emerge from the rubble, LOL. We should make the transition a smooth one. PTI is a small company. Let's give them a fair chance. They're competing against HPI's much larger budget.

I was just hoping that the would put a dedicated thread. so that people would not have to spend all day searching thru forums to pick up tid bits of info here and there. Every other major crawler has its own dedicated thread. Did I buy the black sheep or bastard cousin of the family??? Or did I buy a crawler???

we have been lobbing for a PTI forum...instead they put up a WK forum before you could even get a 4 wd wk. If you look around you will see how many times we have tried for it.

In Xtreme rc cars there is a 6 page spread on the GRC. Is it that hard for the moderators to give the Goliath its own spot. I think its prejudice towards PTI and the owners of PTI are not getting the chance they deserve to make it in the rock crawling market. I feel there have been enough requests!

I don't even have one and I would like to see a section for it.

The reason I didn't buy one is because there wasn't support on this site for it.

I believe that there are enough builds. "BUILD THEM A THREAD, AND THEY WILL COME." I will post in the comments also. Love this web site and its info.

Yeah, I think posting this in the comments/suggestions section would have a better chance of getting at least a response from Jason, or Badger.
The WK thread is like the new Nylint thread
A PTI thread couldn't be worse.

I was going for a pti grc, but tower was sold out so they must be going somewhere. I guess I'll just have to make due with a 2nd WK :grin:

p.s. that is another vote for a PTI forum

LOL!!

I don't have one either, but I would'nt object to it if the price was right. They look like decent little rigs with potential for lots of modification. As many of them as I've seen here, I'm surprised they don't have their own page.

I can't understand the WK's sudden popularity, the chassis is just utterly worthless. Good axles though. I guess it's no different than buying a TLT for the axles.

This makes me a little worried for when the Axial crawler comes out...

at least it's not ready to run...


and just to stay on topic...


I also have a PTI Goliath and love the truck... I think a small part of the reason we don't have a seperate PTI forum (yes, that's right, forum, not thread, this is a thread, what you are asking for is a forum ) is because most of the GRCs aren't built very far from stock, cause the thing is just so darn capable in stock form, modifications which actually make a build thread interesting aren't necessary

I think what we need is a PTI to place well in some comps, maybe even make an appearance at nationals... Hey Skeeno, I'm looking in your general direction Then maybe some people would take notice...

Im sorry for posting in the wrong place. For those of you who care I posted a NEW PTI GOLIATH THREAD in the suggestions section. Lets see were this takes us. Lets see how many yes votes we can get for A GOLIATH FORUM and The admins how many of us really do care about PTI'S little crawler. Thanks for your time Raped_Ape

I agree Skeeno is my go to PTI guy. In fact he recently helped me set up my GRC and I'm pretty stoked on it.
Enjoy,

I did help build that one, but I take no credit/blame for those tires.

i honestly think that the wk forum should be dropped and the TLT forum should be turned into a 2.2 forum.
