Unexpected crawler enjoyment

[Theekorr]

So I always looked at crawlers as slow boring and stupid. But got interested in them a few months ago. So went ahead and grabbed a TRX4 defender to take camping as a trail truck. Well fast forward and I am in love. These things are a blast. I am getting more and more into the scale side. I really love the potential realism. I have even begun construction of a course in my backyard. I guess this post has not got much point other than to say dont knock it till you try it. Looking forward to getting my scx24 for Christmas. And a photo for fun. Just stuck on my new gmade rims yesterday and about to take them out for a test run.

That‘s a beautiful rig! I am also looking forward to getting an SCX24 for Christmas! I want to get into crawling for cheap, lol.

I prefer my crawlers over all of my rigs. Nothing more enjoyable and better exercise than chasing them around the mountains while camping. It's even going to be more fun and exciting this coming summer because nothing is holding us down.

Awesome looking truck! I wish I could do a 1/10 crawler course somewhere outside.

Great looking Jeep. Crawling and scalers are a blast.

They are super cool. The realism and scale aspect is badass. It's so neat seeing them flexed out. It's a tough toss up between my trx4 bronco and 3s blx senton for being my favorite. I plan on getting a second crawler for more muddy aspects. Id like to keep the bronco for more of an indoor obstacle rig.

Surprisingly my wife hasnt minded me junking up the yard too bad.

My wife can't wait until I build a crawler course out back.

@Theekorr That's what happened to me too. I always thought crawlers looked cool, but when It was time to buy my first truck I thought they were to slow and I would get bored with it. I could not have been more wrong, now Crawlers are my favorite!. Now I have six!

Since May, crawlers have taken over my life! It all started with a Redcat Scout. Now, I'm way down the rabbit hole!
