Anybody else into RC rock crawling ?

[OllllO Fanatic]

I'm huge into R/C's. I have a few 1/6 scale, 2 Willys and a TJ. It's pretty cool to see peoples reaction when you bring out a 1/10 replica of your 1:1 Jeep while out 4 wheeling. Any ways here's a picture of some of my collection. The Red YJ and the clear XJ are sold, no longer have them.



Both Traxxas Summits are gone as well.

Not a Jeep, but I built an r/c Toyota Pickup a while ago. Now I'm saving for a real Jeep!

Nice camera work.

My father and I ran cars bout 15 years ago... We have one of the original stampede's, a team associated t3 and tc3, a drag rail, bolink, an Hpi rally rs4 converted to run on road and a few others. We recently decided to get back into it and my father bought a axial g6 and I bought the scx10 Rubicon. We're both shocked how far the rc game has come along. Basically all of our stuff is ancient.... I'll throw a few pics after we get our kits built and painted.

Okay, why are there so many spare parts in everything you get from Axial? They don't show up in the parts list either.

There shouldn't be any spare parts......




J/K, I don't know, it's like that in all their kits. The cool part is you usually find some use for them at some point.

My father finished his.... I'm waiting for my esc and motor before I continue. I'm also getting rid of the wishbone upper links for the front and waiting for a aluminum Trans housing... Mine came stripped?

Father's is complete mine is in pieces...

Thanks Ldogg... I have the same issue when I rebuild engines. I can never find where that one bolt came from.

 

[pacountryboy]

Finished mine to match my jeep... Except mine in real isn't a unlimited, Rubicon or have a cage...

Cool. Thank you. I love amain, I'm wearing one of their long sleeve shirts from years ago when I used to race 1/8 buggies and truggies. I'm thinking of pulling my old axial out or getting a new one and getting into crawling. Some of y'all have some sweet rigs and huge collection of cars. I love seeing all that stuff. Takes me back to my racing days and man do I miss them.

Rpp hobbies.

 

[Ldogg]

Rpp hobby has the best selection and customer service. I only buy from Corey because of it. I could get a kit slightly cheaper at tower with their club membership but I don't because RPP has always got what I want, and I have ordered things at 5 mst and had it ship that afternoon.

 

[NHAkita]

Nice rig. Rc4wd make some really nice stuff. I happen to own a couple honcho's too. <img src="http://wayalife.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51380"/> <img src="http://wayalife.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51381"/> <img src="http://wayalife.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51382"/> I am waiting for this kit to come out from gmade. <img src="http://wayalife.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51383"/>

Ldogg did you build that trailer or is that the one you can find on eBay?

 

[Ldogg]

It's a kit made by dinky RC. It's made of plastic and you have to supply the knuckles and the wheels/tires. I hadn't painted it at that time but you can do that, and it's got light buckets in the rear and the tailgate does fold down.
