New to our RC range are crawlers and their many accessories. What is a crawler, what is the fascination behind this hobby and how do you get started? Let me introduce you to this unique field.
Crawling is a specific part of the off-road domain. The aim is to carefully "climb" rocks and slopes. Before we begin, the definition of certain terms and some basics are in order.
Definition - what characterises an RC crawler?
Trail and scale
Which crawler to choose?
Here is one product from each category as an example:
Of course, you can transform and improve your RTR crawler. As always in model making, part of the hobby also involves tinkering with the model and, for example, changing plastic parts to high-end metal ones. With crawlers, the aim is to make the vehicle even more off-road or even more realistic.
Rc crawler accessories for scaler
Compared to the trail, scalers take certain limitations into account when it comes to off-roading. On the other hand, the model is very realistic. To achieve this, you need a large number of accessories. Here are a few examples of particularly special parts.
What's the ideal place for crawling?
The possibilities here, too, are almost endless. Some people bring their crawler along when they go hiking so that they can ride in a set-up. But the forest, too, can be great fun with its many roots. When the weather is bad, you can also create a circuit at home and let the crawler "climb" in your living room or cellar.
