Cheap crawler toy

[Zap]

It started its life as a Rubicon. It only costs 60 bucks at Toys r Us. 1/10th scale.

Pretty decent little rock crawler for the money. It'll climb up a big curb like nothing. No gears, just throttle control. My 2 year old can walk faster than its top speed.
The travel is about the height of one of the tires. . . not too bad.

I've just got to fab up some mounts for the Brat body and I'll be golden. :headbang: :awesomework:

With the 1/6th one I just picked up. Kinda a piece of crap, but my 2 year old loves it. I figure when it breaks he can just have it to play with in the yard.

What's the wheelbase and width of the 1/6th body? I was looking for one at ToysRus, but they only had the 10th ones in stock.

17X17, center of the wheel to center of the wheel X outside of the tire to outside of the tire.

It's discontinued at their stores, but I was able to score it from Toys R Us' website with Pay Pal. 12 bucks shipping, and it got to my house 7 days after I pushed "Pay Now". $111.00 total.


The smaller one is much cooler, better power, less slippage, better travel, lighter weight. I kinda wish I woulda bought two of them instead. Pretty awesome toy for 59 bucks, we'll see how long it lasts.

I just wanted the body for a scale truck build, I bought the smaller one for the body last year, I won't comment on the performance compared to my tlt and txt crawlers.:redneck: It is only a toy, though, not a $1100 crawler like my daughter's, or $1400 like mine. It does fine for the price:;
