1/18 Scale Large Rock Feature - Input Wanted

[Xraycer]

Morning all...itching to go swipe another 1/18th crawler...or possibly a 1/10th road warrior...yes, I have a problem.

I want to start exploring other brand options than just Traxxas...where should the next leap take me?

Axial SCX24 and Arrma for speed/bashing.

i have a team associated element ecto, an absolute beast, love it, highly recomend it, we also have an axial basecamp that really loves the climbs,
weve had 2 redcats and both were lackluster ( sorry is my opinion) they have an ascent which has amazing reviews but we havent gotten one.

My current lineup is:

1/10 - Traxxas Slash 3s 4x4 VXL
1/10 - Traxxas TRX4 HighTrail
1-/18 - Traxass TRX4M Defender
1/18 - (2) Traxxas LaTrax Desert Prerunners
1/18 - Traxxas LaTrax Teton

It will happen sometime for sure lol. I'm either wanting another 1/18 or a street rc in the 1/10 variety. Big price swings on these I realize

A Typhon Grom turned road car... hmm

Everyone needs an SCX24 in their life.

That’s what I told my wife

You told your wife she needs an SCX24 in her life?

It’s looking good, the foam actually works very well. I would go ahead and use a clear coat to seal it after you have it all colored to your liking. Any type of clear paint will work, or even clear flex seal, that $hit be expensive though

I built this from cardboard boxes and spray foam.

Where to begin? There’s so many options. I’m thinking affordable…… 1/18 is a good place to start. There’s the redcat, hobbyplus has a furitek powered cr18p now with a tranny that spins the driveshafts in opposite directions which almost eliminates torque twist, hobbyplus also has the cr18evo pro, can’t go wrong with any element 1/10, the element 1/12 doesn’t seem like a good price bargain, any scx10 platform is probably good, and then there’s all your go fasters…… my head will start spinning just thinking of all the tires I will need to buy, for science purposes of course…..

That looks to have a very long wheel base. That may prove challenging on your small, steep course.

Nice truck!

We hooked another one guys

The good thing about this hobby is there is no shortage of choices. Enjoy and explore new options. I have a lot of different brands and they have all been fun. Enjoy your new Power Wagon.

First impressions of first run, stock.

- it out-crawls my trx4m out of the box
- it doesn’t feel as “solid” of a stock build as the trx4m
- it’s going to be a crawling monster if I can make it so

Which has the lighter body?

Which has the lighter body?

TRX4M Defender Stock:

SCX24 Power Wagon Stock:

TRX4M is heavier...probably because the stock plastic parts seem more "sturdy"

I was flying my spark earlier without the collision mode on and thought this gave a good look at the new bridge I constructed the last few days. It goes over my short track, right after the jump...and of course the Dark Souls Plateau in the background muwhahaha

 

[Tunedfrog]

How many souls were used in the making of this course?

I see my ex-wife in there, run over her twice.

The Plateau of Souls looks like a Myan pyramid in the background. Bridge looks good.
