Post a photo. I have been thinking of trying crawling. I have a nice rocky stream bed that is usually dry by my house with large piles mof rocks. It might be fun.

I own an exceed 1 16 truggy so I hesitate to buy additional exceed products. The esc fried in about 3 weeks and there is almost zero support for the product. Not to mention parts are hard to find.

I bought one about 8 weeks ago, I was having fun with my grandson just running it in the grass and the front trans gears stripped out...it took 2 weeks to get replacements, but then the steering servo went out along with the esc. now it sits in a box until i can rebuild it the way it should be. The shocks and frame are nice and the stock motors are, well stock. so unless you can or are willing to mod it stay as far away as possible.

Thats what i mean about exceed. its not a bad rig but you pretty much need to replace most if not all of the electronics. I thought it was my esc that was dead but after examineing the thing and process of elimination i narrowed it down to either the rec., the tx, or the crystals but either way the electonics suck. I may p/u one of these new 1 24 losi crawlers for the winter although im not a big fan of losi stuff. It looks like it may be a fun way to get into crawling. I can see myself setting up obstacle courses in the house all winter with my wife muttering under her breath that i should"grow up" .I need to check into them first cause they are new and heavily hyped.

I actually opened up my esc after it failed and after repeated emails to exceeds support, with no support other than a automated reply that someone would be in touch with me in a few days......that was over a month ago and still no response from them. but after opening up the esc it was a burned out chip. I will never buy an exceed product again and if anyone asks my opinion, well you can guess.

Wow that sucks your esc went out, but its not really exceeds fault it went out, but it is their fault that they wont answer you and get you a new one.
