    First time I hear this happens...

    I thought so :/

    Proper RCs like the nitros and the high end electrics are awesome, some reaching over 100mph! Lego can bearly reach 10 mph (the crawler does what? 1mph?!) which puts it's RCs sqarely in the realm of toys for under 5 year olds! RC can add to the technic experience, but only a tiny bit. Technic CANNOT do RC well like HPI can. It NEVER will. If RC is what you want, don't buy technic. The unimog shows what technic does best, better than anything else. The crawler (whilst giving us a servo, which i'm very greatful for) shows what technic does worse than anyone else (RC) without having anything else up it's sleeve (like mechanicle authenticity, realism and complexity).

    Only the traxxas x01 can reach 100mph at the moment . I have a heavily upgraded slash 4x4 and its gunned at 75mph :D Hpi are bad by the way :/ After owning 2 i would never buy one again . I would much rather have a non rc now with lego even after wanting a TLG crawler for years .

    ok, on a slick ascending slope it works till 30°, then the rear axle motor goes into stall, because the frontaxle has no grip.

    obstacles, my foot for example, against a single tire, are possible till 5cm height.

    overall is grip the problem. with my ansmann tires is much more possible. the vid which was posted by anio shows good the possible performance.

    Old comment i know but ....

    I have been into rc crawling a while now and a lego MOA (motor on axle ) would be better . Ansmann stuff is poor at best , Try some hot bodies sedona white's :D

    Guys, this is not a chatbox. Please use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Also, don't bump your thread.

    Ok then , apologies for the bump

    Not sure how much it'd be worth, but would you be interested in a trade for a Tamiya CR01 Land cruiser, complete with Rooster crawler and hitec servos, upgraded tyres, along with a DX3 transmitter and receiver set up for four wheel steering?

    @ dikkie klijn/ Bardian: I opened up your LDD .lxf file to see the Power Functions chassis, and I can see these advantages:

    1. The simple, SMALL chassis could easily handle the light weight of various RC body shells.

    2. People could build the same chassis, and then race them (with different body shells) on a Lego Trial Truck course. That way, the drivers could tell them apart and it would be DRIVER SKILL that determines the champion.

    3. RC body shells are EXTREMELY TOUGH and almost indestructible. If a Lego Trial Truck rolled, the flexible body shell would help protect it from impacts.

    4. A small Lego PF vehicle (like the one you built) has few places to attach a 100%-Lego body, without making it significantly larger and heavier.

    Sorry but rc shells arnt that tough , i have a hpi e firestorm flux and i split mine within a day , just my 2cents
