Default my lil 1/24 rc crawler

this is my lil 1/24 rc rock crawler i got from toysRus. its made by the company called FastLane. i got it on sale for $9.99 and i also got the Hummer crawler upgrade which comes with high torque motor,tires,wheels, softer sus and hummer body for $9.99. so for about $20 bucks i got a lil crawler for indoors. its such a blast to play with. i modded the suspension from 1/2inh travel to about an inch and i locked the front and rear diffs using super glue. thanks for looking folks. My new Tamiya TLT-1 just came in. i cant wait to put it together..

At our local Toys-r-us, these are on clearance for $4.99 and the Hummer body/softer suspension/lower gears were $9.99. It does great around obstacles in the yard too. I filled the diffs with vaseline on ours to make them limited slip. It really made a difference. It runs great on rechargeable NiMH AA's, too! I highly recommend.

I just got a few myself... they are next gen to the SSMT which was by far the better crawler. I wish they still made it... It had solid axles, center motor with drive shafts and was easy to mod from what I hear. I just bought 3 of these at tru for 10 bucks each..I will go without the crawling upgrade kit and just mod from scratch.. post some pics up when im done..
