I have had several people ask me that question...so instead of muddying up a thread, I would put it here.

Rckcrwlr is Rockcrawler without vowels.

I am into RC Rockcrawling.  You may ask, what is that.

Well there are to parts to it, first being the Comp side and second is the Scale Side

On the Comp side, there are very strict rules...

Here are a few of my comp rigs:

2.2 Sportsman Class


2.2 Comp Class


Super Comp Class


Now the fun Section - SCALERS (these are to be scaled down replicas of the real things)

Jeep JK


Jeep Rubicon



Yota Hilux (My first Scaler)




Chevy Avalanche 2500


Ultimate Adventure Avalanche


Pajero


Tacoma Truggy



Jeep Comanche


Land Rover LR3


Land Rover FJ with an Airstream

Very cool stuff Rc. I saw the Extreme 4X4 episode with your buddys replica and that was such an awesome job he did on it. You have some wicked rigs your self and those scalers are great. I lean toward the scale stuff myself.
My brother was into the gas truck racing for awhile plus we have been into flying for years.
Right now we are into the indoor helicopters and my bro has a couple of full blow heli's. But he is into those gas powered bikes which he builds and sells them thru his on-line website.
Anyway I love the pics, I might post some vid of my heli's if I can get someone to film it for me.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

One Big Easy, plus one in a box.

Thanks guys...

Many years ago I told my wife that I don't drink, do drugs or run around with strange women at bars...this is my addiction.

About 2 months ago she said to me... "I wish you would drink, do drugs and run around with women at bars, it would have been cheaper"

The Black/Copper Buggy and the Red/Black Truck are 1/5 scale.  To give you a reference the body on the red truck is as big as the hood on my wife's real rubicon. 

Here is a video of me running the Black/Copper buggy on the sand dunes in Michigan this pass vacation.

I do so much damage on the ground, I can't imagine the air.  I have done planes and the new CX heli's but that is it for air.

Buddy built the trailer out of foam...The campground now uses it for promotions...

The TRex is an scaled down truck, kinda like what you got big tires major suspension and all. He just like doing things like the monster trucks do,,,,,,,,,,fly.  ;D

That thing when not in 4 wheel drive would do a wheelie for 20 yards.

Even had a trany that would shift from low to high and I think it would do 20 mph.

My bad...I thought you were referencing the Trex Heli.

I had an onroad car that would do 70mph.  The motor ran on NitroMethane at 75,000 RPMs.  I am all electric now.

I'm guessing the mph but that thing ran on the Nitro,,and it would scream.
