Micro Crawler
I'm making a micro crawler. I'm building it out of a tamiya four wheel drive unit and spare parts from other RC cars. It is suprisingly fast for its size and has a lot of torque. It has a weird suspension system though, almost like a torsion bar or leaf-spring. It can climb over my computer mouse with ease. All I need to do is figure out a way to steer it with a servo. What do you think? I'm open to suggestions. I know it looks like a toy and probably can't handle the big Clod sized rocks but I like scratch-building RC cars and don't have the money for a real crawler or monster truck.

RE: Micro Crawler
Nah , I never looked for them on the computer but I did see them in every walmart ive bben in and also K mart but they only got this $20 set of two of em and a big rock thing that folds out. They are a little smaller than my hand , theirs a jeep (wrangler) a tube frame rock buggy and two suv's. think theirs 2 wierd ones you can only get w/ the set of 2.. Aneyway they are $5. and are worth 4 times that! They are made by toy zone inc. Ill look for em on line and if i see em ill let ya know!
