I want a crawler or boat! Haven’t used my truck in forever. Tried selling it. Pretty tough market lol. Probably got $2000 in stuff got laughed at for wanting $800. I got offered $200 lol.
Yep not alot of interest in gas anymore with what the electric can do. RC doesn't hold value as I have traded a few in and got squat for them.

No pics at the moment but scalers is what I’ve been enjoying for quite a few years.

My go to rigs that run are Axial Capra, Vanquish VS4-10 Origin, Pro, Ultra and Phoenix.

Trucks not working Losi 22 and Ten SCTE, plus Axial Wraith, Yeti, Bomber SCX10 and SCX10 2. Losi Comp Crawler, HPI Savage 4.6 and 5.9. Also a Traxxas Revo 3.3.

Can never seem to grow out of RC’s haha.

Father in law gave me one. He has a bunch of the traxxas trucks. Has a couple xmaxx ones too. Those are nuts. Thing will flip over backwards if you go full beans.

Picked up a WPL C24 1/16th kit for my son and put a full metal suspension into it. Good fun teaching my 8 yr old son the basics of rock crawling and I think I’m into it for a grand total of $95.

I picked up this a few months ago and I'm not sure I've ever bought something for $100 that was more fun. It seriously rips and is tough as well. It has kinda made me want an Xmaxx now though for the extra stability on gnarlier terrain.

I just put a light kit in my 79 bronco trx 4 and have a bunch of aluminum coming for it. I like modifying it as much as driving it when I go camping.

I ran into a group of R-mot'ers at Fish Creek park Calgary while mtb'ing... its wicked what the 4x4 units can climb and zig-zagg around...

Their always testing tires and suspension settings too see if they can Negotiate, different terrains...

They pick some pretty wick draws and obstacles too climb or decend...
