Status: offline 		a nitro crawler is a cool but worthless idea. you could do it with a savage, geared with a hb 12 tooth cutch bell and a ribison racing 54 tooth spur, rig the tranny with 3 speep dgears and the diffs with hb stuff and heavy oil. then moab tires and a .46 engine.
you spent $600 and it crawls half as good as a stick

Status: offline 		not to say nitros will never crawl but they will never crawl like electric you cant beat the the weight and the low center of gravity that you can get with a electric therefore get the climbing ability it might come close but no cigar all you have to do is dump the one way in the trans and install a electric motor and walla

Status: offline 		I never said a nitro will never crawl. They may someday, I know Mechanical Bob has been working on one for over a year.

But will it be competitive or even comparable to the performance of an electric? I highly doubt it!

So what's the point?

Just to say it's been done?

What's next a steam powered crawler, maybe a windmill powered crawler, a sail powered rig would be different.

Status: offline 		nitros would be the ultmate scale rock crawlers if they would only crawl like we wanted to and for all you believers out there there will become a time when they will crawl . there is so many possibilities out there that companies are working on because crawling is getting huge . its already at sema shows and other huge events so it will come when there will be factory crawlers from major companies then sponsored drivers and so on. cant wait its all goooooood I like them all. if you can control it its in my book
