RE: Hate to bash, but....

theres a guy who actually posted the Mod's on his little rock crawler

The Mods:
~Removed stickers (they looked to tacky for my liking)
~Cut 5 coils and made the bottom coils wider (in an attempt to make them softer)
~Streched wheel base....Front: 1/4" Rear: 1/2"
~Comp-cut style rear end
~Headlights, Rocklights, and Taillights (LED) with 4AA battery pack
~"Sharpied": Roll cage, sliders, stinger, and bed cover. (I used a sharpie since I know regular spray paint will chip off as often as this thing rolls)
~I filled the "holes" in the wheels in with more sharpie. Makes them look more realistic by being "see through"

Planned mods:
~Wider tires
~Paint or sharpie control arms and spacers black
~Give it a TT by moving the rigs battery up

How big is this one and how big is the smaller one? I gotta get me one of those! A kid can never have too many toys, right? 8)

RE: Re: Thanks for all the responses.

I almost bought one of those a couple weeks back, I could not justify spending $150 for it..

 

[Green97TJ]

this may sound stupid...

Hmm.... Id say the big one was between 2 and 3 feet long... the smaller oneprobably about 1 1/2 foot... thats just guessing, its been a while since I seen the big one, or really even since I looked at the little one.

Re: alloy axle shafts

In the rocks that thing would own my tmaxx. I want one!

I have a TMaxx too. That thing is awesome, but it'd be no good if it tangoed with my Tmaxx... full rollcage, lotsa aluminum, 40 some-odd MPH, etc. That thing is all plastic.

I'd like to see one I could run through water and mud without fear of destroying it :twisted:

It really wouldn't take much to water-proof one. I did it with my old RC buggy back in the '80s. A little silicone here, a little wax there and it's good to go. Ran it into the lake on several occasions without any problems (other than retrieval once). We built a track of sorts on the beach and one hairpin turn was right at the water's edge, so the slightest miscue and you were in the drink.

That's one killer stock body lift

Best Top 2-Piece Hardtop

That might do the trick on a battery powered RC10, but my TMaxx runs on nitro fuel :twisted:

 

[jeepguy46176]

I just got one these for christmas and they are alot of fun, so i thought i would dig up this old thread to give it a thumbs up.

 

[90Xjay]

I got my son a Nikko version at WE B Toys.
It rocks and has alot of neat decals from Fabtech and the like.
It has twin axle motors so all 4 wheels pull and the tires are air downs.
Pretty cool..

 

[Junkpile]

Oh man, One of the guys at the shop has the 1:10 scale one from Wally World. It's pretty neat on the rockpile out back. They can't possibly weigh 40 pounds. The 1:10 one only weighs maybe 5#s. I want to convert one of the big ones over to nitro power. Alot of people are doing that now usnig parts from other trucks. I've seen guys put $2500 into one of those little $100 rigs.

These little trucks are almost as addictive as the real thing!!

I got a 1:8 scale HPI Savage 25 Limited Edition for Christmas. That thing weighs 11.5 pounds!! Three speed, dual stainless disc brakes, the engine has a claimed 2.5hp.....I eat Tmaxxs for lunch. Between the guys at the shop we've got a couple of those little rock climbers, a Tmaxx, a Revo, an LST2, and my Savage. At lunch we look like a bunch of ten year olds out in the parking lot. I've got almost $800 in this truck already....and climbing. What the heck is up with gas costing $30 a gallon for these things?!?

I know I'm stupid, no need to point it out.:lol:
