wow......

[Even]

the Novak Goat brushless motor system i have in it was $170

[XJcrazy00]

I used to be into RC pretty heavily and I understand why these parts cost so much, but the price is also why I dropped the hobby. I still troll an old RC forum though, although only in the lounge.

wow......

seriously that fucking toy has more money into it than my jeep at this point. total worth of r/c crawler and spare parts/support equip roughly$900. total cost of jeep as it is $780. but ive had that crawler for 2 years now so its been built up over that time span.

not really. my r/c hobby was on hold for a long time while we were planning the move. had no real bearing on anything.

900 is nothing for r/c cars of hobby quality level. when i used to race 1/8 scale offroad buggy/truggys a setup full race level car would run ez between 1200-1500. but i dont do that anymore. i currently only own 3 r/c cars. the crawler, a traxxas slash that i still race on the club level and i kept one nitro car my old losi xxx-nt sport. tuning nitro motors got old real fast haha.

goddamned tires, i wanna buy some for my losi mrc but i cant wrap my head around spending the money until my current tires shit the bed

[Buffalo Phil]

All those rims and tires combined equals one 33" tire for the jeep.

I thought it was Dana too.

I have to ask, but do you actually see a difference between tires?

[Zullock Holmes]

it amazes me that you've probably spend more time and money on your R/C crawler than your actual jeep. Ohhh well everyone has their hobbies, enjoy it i guess.

That looks nasty... IMO they would look better on more of a scaler rig than a comp style setup but to weach there own.

I can't wait to get mah hand on some of the creepy look-a-likes.

I have the krawler look-a-likes by RC4wd in the 1.9 flavor but damn.. they suck ass in rocks. the only thing i like about them is at speed on the asphalt they chirp like real tires...

I might be building mahself a scaler tuber here soon. just gotta get off mah ass and do etttt.

like you wouldent believe.

i could go on for about 20 min with the diff styles, rubber compounds and types of foam inserts and weighting the wheels but trust me tires make a big diff.
