It's RC so it counts, I first thought rock crawling looked boring as watching paint dry. I picked this one up cheap and stuck my own electrics in it and we took it on holiday to Yorkshire with us. It turned out to be fun seeing who find the best route through a shallow stream who can climb the biggest incline at the right angle etc. The maverick scout is a very good entry level crawler I know a few people that have got them.

Lost count of how many I've had. Was never interested in leccy, had to be nitro for me :thumbup:

A small selection of them, the rest of my pics are on an old hard drive.

Sorry guys I dont know how to upload pictures. But My boy (14 now) and myself have RC models.3 Nitro Savages.. 5 Helicopters electric. 1 Spitfire Plane still in its box my 60th Birthday present from my Kids.. (will get around to build it one day..). 3 Electric Cars.. 1/5th Monster truck... 2stroke petrol.. and Loads of Spares in packets for a Maverick Stealth Buggy if and one wants spares for one. Maybe something I forgotten like you do.. I do have videos somewhere on computer of the boys using savages will find them and link up for you. I have been doing RC models since I was a Kid.. now (nearly 62). over the years I have had alsorts. Now my Kids have done it. and my youngest (14 now) Is still in there with them. Grand kids also.. Big Hobby in my family.. along with Fishing too. Now I will see if I can find out how to put photos on here. Later guys. FRED :D
I drive this looking like a CHESHIRE CAT on LPG.. Thinking of the Savings to Petrol Prices..
