Largest crawler
I was wondering how big people have made there crawlers. Hopeing someone might have some pictures or videos I could look at. I'm looking for 1/7 scale on up ora 1/8 scale if someone has one.
If anyone has ever heard of "Ringing Rock State Park" in Pennsylvania then they would know of what kind of mess I want to get myself into.
Heres what the start looks like but it can get pretty sick in alot of spots. Next time I go up I'll go deaper into there and get some pictures some spots, try to bring something to help show the scale of things.
thanks

RE: Largest crawler
A super class crawler would probably be considered 1/8 scale. The wheelbase on those usually range anywhere from 14-18 inches. But for that terrain, I think a 2.2 class crawler would be alot more challenging and therefore more fun.

I agree KB, the supers just make it to easy.
2.2 all the way!

There's a point where stuck equals gave up.

To help with burningpoo's question, my crawler (and I use the term loosely) is considered 1/5, and is about 29" long overall with a 21" wheelbase.

Do you have any pictures or video? That thing sounds sick.
Think you could get it to go up the nose of a low sports car? It would be a great way to lose a friend
