FAQ

RC Crawling is all about patience, skill, and strategy. It's more like solving a puzzle, as you carefully maneuver around rocks and obstacles.

• RC Crawlers are designed to handle steep inclines, rocks, mud, and rugged terrain. They're built for low-speed, high-torque driving to climb over obstacles.

• RC Crawlers move very slowly, usually only a few miles per hour, focusing on precision and control rather than speed. They have powerful motors that generate a lot of torque to climb over obstacles.

• RC Crawlers feature high ground clearance, flexible suspensions, and larger tires to navigate rough terrain and maintain traction on uneven surfaces.

• RC Crawlers often have a more robust and durable chassis, with heavy-duty parts to withstand the stress of crawling over rocks and debris. They usually have a realistic, scale-model appearance to mimic real off-road vehicles.

We offer many budget-friendly options for both the builder or the newcomer! 

• Budget: Decide on your budget before purchasing. Prices can range from $300 for entry-level kits to over $700 for more advanced ones.
• Durability: Beginners often take a few tumbles while learning, so look for a model with a reputation for being tough and resilient.
• Battery Life: LiPo batteries allow for maximum run time. On a 5000mAh 3S battery, you could expect an hour or more of battery life.

Upgrade Potential: Choose a model that allows you to upgrade parts over time, like tires, wheels, motors, and suspension, as you gain more experience. A good set of hex drivers will make your first build or repair a much easier experience. We offer them in both Metric and Imperial in multiple sizes. We try to keep the job simple and only use a few hex sizes in each build.

• RTR crawlers come pre-assembled with everything you need to start crawling right out of the box—perfect if you’re new and want to get started quickly.
• Kits, on the other hand, require assembly and can be more complex. These are great if you enjoy building and customizing, but may be overwhelming for a first-timer.

Whether it’s Ready to Run, or your first Kit build, We’ve got you covered.

There are a lot of possibilities, but we recommend a 2.4Ghz pistol-style transmitter with a 3-5 channel receiver. Having a few additional channels will help when you upgrade later on. Depending on your budget, there are great motor and ESC combos. A 35T brushed motor is a good place to start, paired to a 60amp brushed ESC. Brushless, look for 1800-2300kv paired to a brushless ESC. Steering duty can be handled by a servo with 250 oz/inches of torque or more.
