I almost pulled the trigger on a mini rock crawler the other day , was gona build a little course , but then i saw some RC dozers and excavators and dumps and thought it would be WAY COOL to use the RC equipment to build the RC course !!! Then the money reality started sitting in and im back to watching videos of other people relieving their childhoods with way better toys than we had at the time ... Damn it...

No doubt there is some serious money spent on this stuff.

Hi Sid,

I have a back story on this. My younger brother was into off road racing these little vehicles. He was frustrated that he could not win, so I watched this "Sand box" event and being that I managed off road racing for Ford, I knew a thing or two about suspension tuning and my brother was way off, so doing a deep dive on his card table, we revised his shock tunning as it was way too stiff and front need more rebound control. So here is the Main feature, my borther, shit head that he is, starts climbing up for his poor starting position and wins the whole damn thing. Think he was happy...no he was really pissed that I could make his RC work like it should.

Sad tail is we are no longer in communication, His choice as he just cannot stand when he cannot be top dog and when I was there...other teams came over to me to work on their R/C; buggy...he did not like this one bit.

So fast forward to the video...Wow have things changed in the R/C world...Wow!

Best,
Phil

Phil, did you offer your brother $20 bucks for his RC truck? ?

Msfitoy, I was glad to see that those camels where real RC's and not dramadari's ? but most importantly did they have a damper? ?

Sometimes It's the thought that counts, some family members have a better sense of humor than others...

My favorite is the red and white Landcruiser. Overall, well made models.

.7" beadlock wheels are a nightmare to put together
