[MUDRATGQ]

Cheers Guys would love to build a minni version of mine

[Magnat]

If you can get me a Pic of your Ride, I can try and find a Generic Body thats close

[MUDRATGQ]

Cheers mate heres a pic for ya. 14647

[Magnat]

mmm Not much in the 4 Door range..

I am Pretty sure a custom body is going to be the Only way to do it and that wont be cheap... or to accurate..

[MUDRATGQ]

what's the best site to look up to have a squiz mate.

[Magnat]

!Welcome to the Official Pro-Line Racing Website! (http://www.pro-lineracing.com/proline.html)

Select Products then Monster Truck Bodies..

From here you would need to choose what RC you want to fit the body to..by visiting

RCHobbies.com.au (http://www.rchobbies.com.au/store/index.php?cPath=24&osCsid=ff472b671e29b47896eb228d0882313d)

Personally I always go Electric Over nitro as the running Costs are alot lower and Plug and Play is a Huge advantage so an E-savage would be my choice ...

[MUDRATGQ]

Thanks heaps Magnat will have a squiz

[Magnat]

Your in Newcastle...
Your best store for all RC Gear is there!!!

Front line Hobbies is in Newcastle and is well worth popping into.. just keep the Credit card at home as I can Gaurentee it will get a major Bashing..

I have a few of my cars/trucks/and crawlers for sale if you or anybody is interested.

[MUDRATGQ]

Gday Ice yeah mate i would be very interested mate

[ice_spy]

Your best bet would be to look on other RC forums, you will find a much better deal than what i would sell them for.
I do have a couple of cars i would sell, but as said, i wouldnt part with them as cheap as what can be found.

[Magnat]

I can most likely get you something that will suite... Its Just extreme offroaders cost Extreme amounts of money...

If you just want to go trail Bashing then around $300 it can be done... If you want to go rock crawling, then ofcourse, like a real Rock crawler it will cost more...

http://rcforum.co.kr/news/attach/1/1330636786.jpg
The Axial Scorpion AX10... $599ish but then you need an ESC, Motor, Steering Servo and radio Gear which would add around another $300
So to get a Crawler for under a Grand is pushing it...

In Saying that, a Wheely King 4x4 can make an excellent crawler and only set you back $500 Ready to Race..

[MUDRATGQ]

the bottom one sound's just like the thing im after

[Magnat]

A Wheely king 4x4...

The Wheely King is a Wheelie Machine Stock..
But a Simple Battery Relocation and a removal of a Couple of Rods and you will get the wheel flex shown above and they can crawl rather well.

Thing is there 1:10th Scale so the Larger shells from the E-Savage and E-max wont fit too good..

YouTube - Wheely King Crawler (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=HLoXeyc2toI)

The Chassis can be extended with some mods to allow you to get that longer wheel base for the larger shells, it just cost more..

[MUDRATGQ]

Cheers mate will have a squiz at em

Tamiya has a 1/10 scale FJ40 rockcrawler due for release very soon. Not sure of pricing, but at least you know the parts will be available for it, not like some of those brands you can get from ebay

[dirtfix]

I will be keeping an eye out for that and reserve my purchase until then.

[sloshy]

I'll vouch for a modded wheely king
I'm locked with 14t pinion, 96t spur, integy 45t motor
and 12.3" wheelbase for about $500:thumb:

The HBX Bonzer Tiger uses Tamiya TL-01B and TL-01 parts so if you break something it is not as if you have to throw it away...

How ever, the Henlong Mad Truck is a different Story.. It uses a combination of parts from Himoto and JSP and your Never sure which one makes what part.. Not only that the Mad truck has limited Clearance where as the Bonzer has around 35mm which is enough to get you into the Rough Stuff...

The Modded Wheely King is the Best option...

[MUDRATGQ]

Just bought my first a Wheely King of probly many i will buy an mod im hooked started modding it allready been havin a look on here the crawl pit :: Index (http://thecrawlpit.com/forum/index.php) great helpfull site wont be long now an i will be starting to make a custom alloy body an all other stronger alloy parts for it

[Magnat]

Sweet did you get the 4x4 Version (which is Blue in color) or the 2WD which is Orange ??

[ice_spy]

Dirtfix, try ebay sellers from hong kong shops. they are the cheapest price. Makes hobby shops in Aus look stupid.

[MUDRATGQ]

Sweet did you get the 4x4 Version (which is Blue in color) or the 2WD which is Orange ??Bought the 4x4 one mate just startin to do the stage 1 mod's to it now

[Minty97GXL]

Here is a ready to run version of the Axial.
That means everything is there, just charge and go climbing.
YouTube - AXIAL AX10 SCORPION RTR (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am_8dAMOSdk&feature=related)

It can be bought from Hstore Hobbies Main Page (http://www.hstore.com.au/hstore.asp) at 469 dollars all up, not bad. But then, as you want it to do more, there are so many options for you to choose from, you could easily spend that again on making it even better, but my first change would be in a better set of moab tyers all round for it as the kit ones are a bit hard and don't have enough grip. Next woulkd be choosing one of many options to go to for a lot of extra flex.:truck:
