The Dark Knight Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Thanks, do the same rules apply in the UK as they do in the states? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 There seems to be a bit of contradiction between those 2 rules. One saying you can run any wheel size in any class and the other saying you have to run 1.9" in class 1, 2.2" in class 2. Apart from that, it sounds like it'd be class 1 I'd build my rig for. Sounds like I need to get a winch too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Is it for the scx10? If so head over to the replica scale section and a list of "scale" rules we run by in the uk....

mamodman Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hello, thinking of trying Crawling, the council has opened a new path that I can get on with my W/C, there are some steep reasonably high runs that I thought would be fine for a crawler, it is wooded, leaves, grassy and at the moment muddy, I am tempted by the HPI Rapture Crawler, or round about that price range, can anyone offer any suggestions please Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi mate, we we welcome to the dirty part of the hobby lol. all these trucks will become accustomed to your workbench, the more the strain, the more the breakage but. upgrade as you go, not be long before you have a bombproof truck. on that basis, unlike any other the axial scx10 still holds the title as yet of the best all round scale/crawler truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamodman Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hello, just bought off ebay a - please do not laugh - HPI WHEELY KING 4x4 RTR fitted with the HPI Crawler King conversion the lower links are aluminium , the diff have solid lockers , the axials have the higher carriers for the links , the main chassis is STRC RACING alloy blue with body mounts in CNC blue alloy , the motor is a silver STRC heat sink plate , the steering has been modified with HOT RACING front axial mounted plate to reposition the steering servo , this is a massive improvement also fitted with a STRC ALLOY blue wheely bar with roller wheels. I have the original box and hpi crawler conversion instructions also included are the plastic parts which were removed Any one any ideas - apart from me being a idiot novice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
