Where are you getting the Gmade crawler from and what is the cost?

Time to sell my HPI Savage and get something more interesting!

I've got a buddy that has a real rock racer/crawler that looks alot like that one out in CO. Nothing scares that bejeezus out of you like doing 60mph over a half mile of 3-4' whoops in a truck. I probably am an inch shorter from continually tightening my harness. LOL!

That R/C crawler is right up my alley since I sold my Rubicon.

pretty cool Dane, I'm more of an off road guy. 5th scale gas HPI Baja SS with 30.5cc stroker about 5-6hp

Man this is my other many weaknesses. I have almost a dozen of these things. I have a trans am series camaro on an AWD drive HPI chassis also. I have 5 1/8th scale off road cars, 2 dirt oval cars, 4 short course trucks. I enjoy taking the gas cars and converting them to electric. My 1/8 scale buggy can pull a wheelie down the back stretch and run for 30 minutes straight. Then I bought 3 go karts and now they just sit.

I spot RC cars in most shops I go into to

The short course trucks sure are a cool development from the old truggies. I always hated how the truggies didn't look cool like baja trucks. Electric/brushless is definitely changing the hobby, same with Lipo batteries. Long runtimes, incredibly fast, reliable...

I was an offroad guy for years as well. Had almost all the Tamiya Kits, RC10s, RC10ts.... Those are insane. Have you seen the chinese knockoff ones that are nearly identical? What a shame. HPI deserves all the money they can get for that badass toy.

They're amazing out at sand dunes with paddles as well.

Yes have seen the knockoffs. What else is new, happening in every industry. especially mine which is furniture.

Very cool guys! I need to spend the $20 for a new starter and spend some time with mine....it's been way too long since I fired it up!

You are a bad influence! Where did I put my wallet?

From the manufacturer themselves. $280. $320 shipped. I'm going to set it up for crawling initially but eventually setup the shocks for droop for hillclimb with a faster motor

Real crawlers are amazing and fun, but break a lot, and are scary. RC ones are relaxing, and its fun to tweak/mod them to perform better.

I raced associated RC10 for years had 3 cars and plenty more for parts. Probably the 2nd most expensive hobby I was ever in. But I still love it.
