Anybody else into RC rock crawling ?

[jeffro]

What post number? I'm on mobile so the pages are different.

167, and a couple by Sharkey after that. It was comical.


EDIT = now I forgot what I was editing for...jeez......now I remember, I should have quoted, but was being lazy.

I took one my CrewCabs to the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone, and crawled, sort of...

Not as exciting as real, but something else to do or watch.

Sweet square body. I want one of those but a dually and full size. Lol.

Thank you ! Me too, somewhere around here on another thread I put a picture up of what this one was based off. It supposedly had a Cummins and was from Indiana or Ohio,. I will have to dig the picture up.

So, is the square's your favorite ?

IF I could have a truck, this is what I want, only real. This one is scratch built.

Hey guys, cool to see a few of you interested.

I feel the need to say you might want keep the product names out of the forum posts, please and Thank you. No malice in my words, just for your own knowledge, even though they are RC's.

Anyway, I am RC addict, that tried to go cold turkey, but it didn't work. I've not bought anything in quite awhile, but I still have some unfinished, and mostly want a replica of my Jeep. Oh yeah, another excuse... I have 2 grandsons, 8 and 10.. they love it and my JKU.

My cash flow is now intended for the JKUW

This is my mess, for now.

Go ahead, you can say it,,,I kinda went nuts, and that's another story.

Wow.

 

[jeffro]

Wow.

I know,


@ mudmobeeler Here is the real square body I made the crewcab from.

I love this truck

LOL! You missed it. That guy came here and made one post pimping some parts and hasn't been back. It's pretty easy to tell who the pimps are (at least for me anyway) so I call them out. You can post names of your cars here, it's fine.

After you posted a little bit ago, I went digging a little more, saw he had 2 posts and kinda wondered. Thank you for clarifying.

I have had my ass handed to me before for asking a question, that's kinda why I have been reading a lot of tech stuff on my own. I usually am told to find the "SEARCH" button in other www worlds.

Have a great nite, evening, I'm about ready to pat the jeep on the fender and head in.

Pretty sweet truck.



Yeah I'm a square body fan also. This is my current one. 1990 GMC Suburban. I've had 2 k5s, several reg cab long bed 4x4s, one reg cab one ton 4x4 (should've kept it) and now this burb. First vehicle ever was a 78 Chevy long bed.

Now I am jealous I am in need of a truck. I miss having one, but I'm looking, but a Burb would work, even an old van, no windows....4x4 of course.

I ended up on an old Chevy truck forum, when I was looking for a 72 K20, I still go there every now and then and post stuff.

These were my last Chevy's before I test drove a JKU Sport, in Feb 2010. Long story short, Chevy's are gone and my 3rd jeep lives in my garage with all my other RC toys... Planes too. They hang above the jeep.

 

[jeffro]

Before I head off to take the grandsons home. (2 hour drive at the least, with stops. )

I leave you with my Burb, its been rebuilt once, this is its 2nd version. I forget what started it.

Of course I made a video.

Pretty cool burban.

Not rock crawling but, my 2 sons and I race these. I am a sponsored driver by a national company and my sons get to enjoy the fun of racing these 40 mph machines, I mean toys.

 

[Panda]

Of course I made a video.

That was cool! Loved the music as well :clap2:

And I bet you and the boys have a great time, and the boys will have good memories later on in life. I still hear from my 34 year old son ever so often about his RC racing days.

That's a sore subject with the real die hards, toys, not toys. lol. They are and they aren't.

I ran dirt oval in the early 90's. Its an RC10, I still have it and my old JRX2, then I went crazy last year buying old monster trucks on ebay, 4 Double Dare's, several Clod Buster's

That was cool! Loved the music as well

Thank you, very much ! I'm glad you liked.

I had to stay home this morning to wait for a plumber, so I'm playing on here, waiting for him. its only 6:15 am here and he doesn't show up till 8.

How about another video ? One for the Ford guys and one for the Chevy guys

 

[mudmobeeler]

I've looked at the clod busters several times but haven't purchased one. A buddy had was going to purchase one but bought a Revo instead. It seemed pretty cool. Little fast for rock crawling per say. I've always wanted a Revo since then but can't pull the trigger on that kind of price. That's a lot of jeep parts. Lol.

I understand, that's a lot of jeep parts, but at the time I was lost in life kind of, I was on a bad path at the time, and a friend of mine had Kyosho Ultima, and from there I picked up a clod buster and have been addicted to RC ever since, it kinda saved me.

(P.S.) You should check out the traxxas summit, even more jeep parts for that price, but it will go just about anywhere in its little world

This was my 1st Hobby grade RC, The year was 1989

And of course I made a video, of one of my special clod busters. Its not very exciting, I believe it was a shake down drive.

 

[jeffro]

I rarely buy RC kits, mine are mostly built from parts and stuff.

I did pick up this beast last year, its a kit. Charge and go...sort a.

And if you want to get dizzy

 

[Slavens]

I Raced 1/10th Electric Off-Road

I ran for SchuurSpeed Motors, Panther Tires, Speedtech RC last season but got out of the hobby to spend more time with the kids and more time on the trails with the jeep.

Love my Panther tires. I run speed passion products, mainly because everything for me is x3. I race with my 8 and 13 year old sons. Busy race days setting up 5 cars. Its fun with the kids, I enjoy watching them win.
