seeing as none of us had a working 4x4 at the weekend, we took a couple of nylint rock crawlers up to our usual site.
it took us a while to find some suitably sized obstacles but we had a good laugh in the end.
... anyways, the vids.

and found a small rut that made a perfect track

the second vid is better imo.
enjoy.

If you want a proper remote control car, there is a company called fg.
They make road, offroad and monstertruck, type remote control vehicles.
Ranging from 40mh-90mph. You can put freespool diffs in them, lsds, disk brake conversions and anything else you could do to a fullsize car/4x4.
They run on 2 stroke 23cc-29cc . Would seem more fun to me then those kiddy toys you got.

They are probably more money than the kiddies toys we have, as we spend our money on real cars, and at 14.99 a pop you cant go wrong!

My 4x4 mini mostertruck can hit 40 in about 3 seconds!
not great at rock crawling as it needs revs to stop it stalling, it has auto 2 speed box and you can set-up suspension and diffs!
out guns my RRC for the first couple of hundred foot!!!!

You beat me to it, bagga! Who needs expensive ones, at £15.00 each you can't go wrong! Even my wife went out and bought one!

I have my doublecab and the wifes zook for playing with, but £15 for the Rock Crawler was the best investment I have made for ages, in fact, they are that much fun I bought another to keep for spare parts!
To put it into perspective, a new tyre or battery for the zook costs more than £30,,,,
So I have 2 offroaders and my own rock crawling course outside my back door, (shortly to be altered to include `The Four Steps` to the rear garden) , give me my Nylint kiddies toys any day

Unlucky mate, they have just launched there new catalogue and discontinued it. I can`t even find it in the clearance section, I dunno if individual stores will sell off old stock `in store` or not.
The item number was 369/6112.
