Ever thought of ROCK CRAWLING with your Nitro Truck? If you have, step over to the "Rock Crawling" threads, and hw 'bout posting some words of support. It's getting to be a real drag listenning to the 'lectric guys bad mouth every thread about NITRO CRALING, so maybe we ust need to POST MORE THREADS! or support existing threads.....then maybe the mods will set up a NITRO CRAWLING THREAD, and the lectric guyys won't feel the need to show their ignorance as often.....LMAO!

i love my nitro revo but electric is the way to go for crawling.

Well there's another for the BLOCK LIST, not worth the trouble of helping here or anywhere else....

nitro rock crawling is kinda waste.. i mean you could have a electric t-maxx do the same damage as a nitro t-maxx if you really set it up right.. plus rock crawling takes time to get over the rock and your nitro would just burn away fast.

No what's "dumb..." is not having enough foresight to see another phase of the RC Hobbies emerging....what's "dumb....." is giving expert advice in one post, and asking what should I do, How can I fix......in the next......what's dumb......is narrow minded thinking that if you can't buy it, it must not be possible........

What's DUMB........or maybe we should ask, who's the dummy? Block list, no need in wasting advice on you.....

nitro is hard to use, unpredictable, expensive ansd chalenging. eletric...... well its not. rock crawling with nitros is very realistic and is alot of fun. this is a nitro thread, so if you are eletric and just want to complain than go some were else... so what are you trying to say? do you need help with your nitro crawler or ? for crawling i use , this is a revo.

dumb is you. block list. arnt you cool becuase you put it in red. why dont you just go in a different forum and complain becuase i dont think anyone in this nitro forum wants to hear about your ideas that are pointless. scracing is right. nitro is hard to use. unpredicable,expensive as hell. on the other hand electric is just way to easy. charge your battery and go. i would rather sit on a rock for 15 minutes when i know the only thing i am losing is the charge in my battery which i just recharge for free. or i can go the nitro way and sit on a rock for 15 minutes and know that my tank is near empty and i dont have 25$ to go buy another gallon of fuel so i can sit on the rock some more. and its not dumb to give advice in one post and then ask about something in the next. its called learning. just because you know one thing doesnt mean you know everything in the world. lets see... i know how to tune a nitro engine. but then again i dontknow why a nitro engine wont start when it is brand new and new glow plug and everything is ready. unfortuannly i must be dumb then. ohh and i know how to take a t-maxx or a savage or something completly apart down to the nut. ohh and i may not know how to put it all back together.. does that make me dumb? no so next time you try to define the word dumb think about it again before you go and talk ****. and not having enough foresight to see someone elses fantasy about nitro rc rock crawling? umm lets see here its already going on. like scracing here already has a crawling revo. so why try to think of something that has already been though of? next ill probbly see you going around slapping your name in front of it and calling it "highoctaneusers nitro rock crawling". and if i cant buy it then i dont think it is possible??? lol give me something like that??? huh ok what about a complete installation to put a different sized battery pack into a ezstart??? huh omg i dont think it will fit so its IMPOSSIBLE!!! OMG!!! ahhh just scratch that idea because its impossible. or i can just cut the wires to the the end on it and just glue it in there. eww it looks gay but wow im getting so much more power to my starter engine. you are like a waste of time. good thing i am only typing all this because i am a fast typer and because this is alot of typing it looks kinda cool. and i just wanted to see if it will take up my whole monitor screen. well i suppose that is it.

Man highoctane user, your a jerk. So the only reason your posting in the crawling setion is to piss of the electric guys? We both know Nitro crawling will never happen and most of the people posting about their "revo rock crawlers" and such dont even own an electric crawler and have nothing to compare it to. Your really abusing the forums guy. I think you'll be going on my block list, as soon as I read your next post cause Im mature and I dont care who has the last word.

cpzrevo

Ok cool guy you are on my ignore list too.

I am?

And if you had a revo rock crawler like mine than you can't afford an electric one!almost every half gallon i have to buy a new clutch because my sirio eats them like crazy when crawling, i'll get pics when i go and throw the current one away.And the clutches i use cost $27 so its no joke, nitro is expensive, way more than electric.

I like to think of it as you electric guys are driving the high brid Honda that gets 2000 miles a gallon and us nitro guys are driving 3000 hp 4x4 independents nitro eating machines were if scaled would go over 300 miles an hour, bit outrages but whats 40 miles an hour times 8 ? thats what the scale would be, so now you know why we go our way, it might be more expensive, but look at the numbers. It might be fun to tare daddies drill apart and use his engine in you $300 rock crawling chassis but my revo might have over $2000 in parts but i can race, rock crawl, hill climb and even go drive on the street. i have won entire hill climbing events, and racing events, and there are no crawling events around hear, and if there were i probably wouldn't win, but i would have allot more fun.

hahaha.. finger cramp.. ahah good one

Hey me too, I might just have to get another 12T clutch bell to go back to a rock crawling/trail rig status in my revo. Its got about 11" of flex on the front suspension and anything besides "small scale four wheeling" is a waste for my truck's setup. Where else would I use that much travel? And when I re-installed the stock clutch bell and spur it was going at least 10 mph faster than it originally did with the stock motor/gears ect. I think a revo is truly the ultimate all around do everything vechicle- i've seen them setup for all types of racing, even street.

ScRacing

i get 7" and you have 3" more of tires so its pritty much the same

It should be since im running stock suspension .

Ok, you cant scale speed cause you can't scale time and I would love to see some of your nitro rock crawling videos. And you know a good electric set up will beat a good nitro setup in torque and speed anyday right?

ScRacing

on rocks yes but jumping, spinning and racing there is no contest, and i'm really into hill climbing more than rock crawling. the idea behind hill climbing is that we have a hill that starts off flat and gradually gets steeper, and words the top there is a big dip with a almost vertical hill that is all sandy and hardly no one ever gets passed there let alon the other 15 feet through sand to the top. it is intense and after we tare it up and it starts getting to were every one can go up we stage drag races to the top. we have 2 a year, one on the 30th of this month and 1 in January 5th which is a snowclimbe which is ALLOT harder. i have 1 the snowclimbe and have placed 3rd in the hill climbe, this year i'll take gold in both, hopefully

Hillclimbing!! That'd be a sweet idea, I need a 4x4 now, time to do some modding on the ole pede?

Actually...that's not quite true. At my local track, a guy brought out a mildly hopped up E-maxx. In the main, he was running 4th or 5th. Of course, being electric, he couldn't do the 10 minute main going flat out. But we run a short track, so his higher acceleration allowed him to make up for his lack of top end in the two straights. And an electric will out-donut a nitro any day of the week for the same reason it's a better rock crawler. Higher torque at the low end to break traction, and they go fast enough to keep spinning.

But on the topic, it's a shame the 4 stroke engines don't exist for the trucks. OS made some car 4-strokes several years back, and they were really good, but never caught on. I think it's because you had to TOTALLY regear your vehicle. But if they made a 4 stroke engine with a small fan system to force air over the engine, it'd be great for this type of project. It'd be even nicer if they could get the same (or even in the same ballpark) bang out of gas or alcohol they get out of the nitro mixtures we run, but that's not going to happen.

But as it stands, electric has all the of advantages when it comes to exteme rock crawling. However, that doesn't mean that nitro rock-crawling should be dismissed completely out of hand. It's just a different kind of challenge.

Thanks, and I have seen all that before, but to be a "credible" rock crawler, it's gonna take something that can do near verticle climbs longer than the wheelbase of the vehicle, and very precise course control thru course markers, like the elctric guys....THEN we'll have a nitro rock crawler.......

And THAT is the beating we continually take from the electric guys, because we haven't been able to takle one of their competion courses. "Free Style" crawling....ain't gonna get the respect from those guys.....a competitive vehicle will.

Or we set up our own rules to encompass what's available now, to spur interest, then as the trucks develop, we "toughen up" the rules....to simulate or even encompass the lectric guys. But make no mistake about it, just by our choice of nitro, we handicap ourselves........
