Crawlers

Any crawler people?

who has what?

[Buff_phroggie]

Wife and I each have an SCX-10 with a number of amazon parts. The steering servos go out as soon as you add weight or decent tires. Best part is they are fun indoor or outdoors.

SCX-10 here too. All stock.

I have a 2ws Axial Capra: tires/wheels, under drive in the rear axle, paint job, injora shocks, fpv camera.

and a FMS FCX24 Discovery: wheels, steel drive shafts, fender kit, injora brushed esc.

I did some work on both this summer to get them running the same radio system.

Pics?

I think I've had the Capra since 2020. It's been a good car with minimal part replacements. The FCX has also been very fun, got it a year ago. I need to wire the headlights back up and would like to add a kit for the roof lights. I'm not a die hard rc or crawler guy but these do get pretty regular play time between me and my kid and I appreciate that they really don't cost anything to run and maintain.

Thanks for the pictures, those are sweet. Big difference in the scale do you prefer one size over the other? Do you have a course you run them on?

[mikeds80]

The Capra can pretty much go anywhere so I like to take it on hikes and try to climb whatever obstacles I can find. Lots of places around me to do that (CT has a lot of glacial till). It's sort of a jack of all trades in that it's technically a scale rock buggy so it's capable, but not necessarily comp capable stock. It's geared a little high for some folks' taste but I tend to enjoy the wheel speed for casual driving. The FCX24 is fun for a change of pace since it's both tiny and more of a traditional scale truck. I ran both on an outdoor course last winter and was very surprised how well the FCX24 did. I'd like to position some rocks for a backyard course eventually.

To answer your question about size, 1/10 is definitely best for "organic" obstacles and would be my choice for an only crawler. 1/24 is a nice compliment to it though.

👍 thanks

scx10, 2 x scx24's, venture 18cc, bully, and a bully 2. Garland Green in a pink suit driving the scx10 wearing a head as a hat, a bit too much flex on the bully.

Starting a Vanquish VS4-10.. got a 80's Toyota extra cab body to top it.. haven't built anything in years...

[Cal440]

Sounds like fun, post up some pictures when you get building. And the finished build of course.

Broke out the mini-crawlers yesterday for a rainy day living room crawl session with the kiddos.

[Cal440]

Those look so cool, what scale are they? Did you make those rocks?

[Levi]

Those are 1:24 scale. The yellow Powerwagon is an FMS. And the other two are SCX 24s.

I printed the rocks, but they are not my design. I believe this guy made the originals.

Other folks have made their own compatible plates as well. There's a ton of options available to download.

My daughter and I have a couple that we like to run around the house on rainy/snowy days and around the yard. 1 UTB Capra 18, and two SCX 30. I ended up having to replace a bunch of the electronics on one SCX, so Axial just sent us a replacement. Two for the price of, by the time I got the first one sorted out, two!
