RC rock crawling trucks

[C220w205]

Here are a couple of pics of my GMade Sawback Jeep chassis.

And this is the bodywork, I have sprayed it with a flip-flop paint.

Here are some detail pics of my Tamiya Lunchbox Van showing some of my modifications and the fifth shock install on the transmission.

And this is the fifth shock install, it replaces the original torsion spring setup.

This is the double wishbone front suspension setup, it means that when movement is applied to the front suspension the front wheels travel in a straight vertical rather than swinging in an arc.

I’m afraid they’re a little dusty.

I like the little winch and the faux diff locks on the Jeep, they're a nice detail, but it's looking a bit dusty around those shocks.

Yeah! They're dusty because they're just sitting on the carpeted floor in the lounge and getting very little use. The winch was an accessory kit that I bought and fitted, it's a fully working one with a wire rope, when connected to power it works with a little remote control.

Just got some steel wheels for my Venture18, think I’m going to have to buy one of those magnifying glass thingys to get the wheels screwed together, tiny tiny screws and I got my specs on! Still got the boys SCX10 somewhere as well, keep meaning to dust it off. Prefer the slower stuff now, got a Savage xl flux and a yeti xl, they never come out now.

The wife's on at me to go walking as she works from home so doesn't do her 10k steps per day where as i'm on my feet all day and have 10k steps done by 11am so been thinking about getting a trail truck to take with me to make the walking a bit more fun for me lol

I've been into rc cars for years but buggy racing or drifting so never tried trail or crawler trucks but i hear the coyote and the SCA-1e 2.1 range are all very good for the money how do you rate it?

I've been into crawlers for a good few years. I go to the SST and am the club secritery for Kent RC Rock Crawlers. We have a rock crawling club at Headcorn Aerodrome.

What platform/body is this? I want to build a 1/10 but the price of lexan bodies is staggering frankly. Almost better off buying a builders kit and a cheap RTR truck then combining the two to start with.
