Dax Hewitt Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Hello folk. I decided to dip my toe in to the world of RC Rock Crawling and took delivery of a Ftx Ravine yesterday. I had a cheeky little play at work today and what a cracking little truck it is. For the money I don't think you can go wrong. Unfortunately as my profile says I tend to change sport / activity every 2 to 3 years and often get carried away with the new thing so I doubt it will be a cheap hobby for long. Looking forward to reading a bit on here and hopefully find some people to play out with locally. Playing on your own is fun but somethings are better done with others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dax Hewitt Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Thanks guys. I had my truck out this morning and I'm shocked how capable it is for a starter kit. Heading down to my local model shop now though, lost 3 of the 4 body clips in the woods 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Welcome aboard @Dax Hewitt. Crawling isn't really my thing but like all aspects of the hobby it can get expensive or not depending on how far you want to take what you have or what you buy to start with. Cheap FTX Ravine crawler here turned into a mad spec by a friend of mine: https://www.facebook.com/rcmanncom/posts/pfbid033qn1pCBqPjhJ4QwoCrGCYsGnSxgiebWvvnQSp8hvdTSVLsiaigor7v1ugfV293J8l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Hewitt Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Thanks guys. I have seen some crazy builds on the Ravine on YouTube. I may have picked up some better rubber whilst I was down at the shop. It will be interesting to see the difference when I go for a play in the morning.
