The young bloke's first 4x4 trip,,,

[The BigFella]

Well I am a proud Dad, my young bloke did his first bit of 4x4ing yesterday unassisted!
Said he had a ball and some of the sickest photos, what do you think,,,,,,,

[growler2058]

Very cool whered ya get them from

[choppie]

They are mean mothers, looks like they have plenty of grunt. HA HA HA

[taslucas]

Cool, can you get patrols?

[threedogs]

Got my Rock Krawler from Simon at 4WD TV great fun
Go anywhere, 5" sticky pitbull tyres
Haven't seen Patrol body yet,
Could spend a lot af money on them

[The BigFella]

the young bloke along with a couple of his mates walked 3k's into the bush looking for the right spot for these photos.
They had a ball, he doesnt own any in the photos, he is into RC Drift Cars and 4x4 stadium trucks. They are awesome to watch.
After the weekend I dont think it will be too long and he will buy a rock crawler, he likes the difficulty of driving slow!

[Silver]

I confess they sucked me in as being photos of full si2ed rigs until I noticed the grass!

Great work

[threedogs]

I clued up on the tyres of the rear truck,
yeah Krawlers are no speed machine, but they'll go just about antwhere.
Friend I know has technical track in backyard, and has events every thurs after work.
Even have mini witches hats etc. My Krawler has front and rear LED for night drives.
Making a trailer to transfer some drinks at camp, I'm really lazy


Some of the petrol powered jobs do insane speed now.
Drift RC cars are cool, but its not a sport IMO

[AB]

Cool, can you get patrols?

There is no Patrol shell out there but if you had money to make a mould then I reckon they would sell like hot cakes...lol

[Winnie]

Saw some RC drift cars at the 4x4 show today and now I want one!!

Tappa tappa

[The BigFella]

he's been scouring the internet searching for a Patrol body, no luck yet!
But he's a stubborn little shit so if there's one out there he will find it!
The Drift cars are insane, our street got re-surfaced a couple of years back is oh so smooth he can drift like a pro,,,,,,,
As to not being a sport, it takes an incredible amount of vehicle control (in real life) and just as much control in RC mode but each to their own aye,,,,,,,

I saw them too....Awesome!!!!

[Silver]

I found one reference, this year, to a G60 body. It was a couple of years old, and the bloke stopped making them. There were issues about robustness - too thin or something, not sure.

[threedogs]

Yo BigFella are they 1/10th scale, not sure but I saw a shorty GU once, can't be that hard ' Sculpt a model
Put a sheet of clear over top and suck it down. trim to suit.
Now all we need is a Car clay sculptor/ modeller who can scale down to 1/10th.
I'll keep looking. Admire skill in drift car driving but its like putting lawn bowls into Olympics, just not my cup of tea
I've ridden A grade unlimited bikes and did some Drag racing for a short period, bike again

[The BigFella]

hey threedogs, yes mate they are 1/10 scale.

I know exactly what your saying, my brother and I raced a little Sprint Boat in the International Open Series for about 6x years.
14ft boat + 612hp = AWESOME

Talk about adrenalin pumping fun,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, actually I have been recorded saying "a good run in a sprint boat is better then sex"!

[Trolatron]

I'd like one of these.

[threedogs]

Yeah thats what We're talking about, Now do they do GU
Used to follow Ron Burton years ago in Budweiser, miss Bud and Aussie endeavor in the Griffith cup'
Loved it when they put capsules on the boats, drivers grew another leg LMFAO
Raced bikes most tracks in Vic mainly nd a few street track in WA plus Waneroo, called something else now
MISS IT, MISS IT MISS IT

they are as links otherwise they are massive. Sorry

[the ferret]

Wow.... gum leaves as big as tyres lol
Cheers, the ferret.

[threedogs]

Ihurly what size tyres does your crawler have?? Looks similar to mine but a different body, talking of bodies anyone found any yet?? I've found a station wagon style that you could make look like a gu. only needs a scoop, sorry petrol guys. easy enough to do grill. Like Ihurlys the body would sit inside the wheels.



With gum leaves that big, hate to see the drop bears.

[lhurley]

Mine has 3.8" rims with a 7" tire on it. i would love to see it with a patrol shell on it.

[threedogs]

[lhurley]

Sure am. The tires about an inch taller than a drink can.
Its a big RC car

[threedogs]

WOW ,I'll have to measure mine now, but not that tall, my crawler only 1/10th scale
and yes Bob thats the link
Think my tyres are 2.2" wide and 5" tall


Could've cleaned it first lol

[lhurley]

Yea mines a 1/10 scale.

Its damn big hey, when it does a wheel stand on the flat the front end comes up to my knee, im 6ft tall.
I did learn that from doing a wheel stand into my own leg. this thing isnt slow either, it hurt like a mother...

Sorry about it being dirty, i will give it hose off tomorrow.
