That is soooo damn cool!!! I’d love to have one….but I’d probably never use it.
Like you said…life gets busy and other hobbies/priorities. We have R/C heli’s and a drone that we rarely fly.

You built it??

That’s awesome!! I wish I had the time (and patience) to hand build/craft like that. A Labor of Love…..

Yeah you definitely need patience. I have 2 little ones at home so lots of late night work on the RC lmao.

Yours looks awesome and that interior is amazing. I just picked up these two the 1/24 and 1/10 scale versions. Haven't used them yet.

Its not for some people and it helps if you have a group of people that have them. They are fun to play with at camp or if you have down time on a trail. I started to get back into it to see if my Daughter, Rc cars are good for kids for hand eye

I have a 1/24 scale as well, like my real gladiator nothing is stock on it lmao. Its definitely something else to tinker with and every part can be changed out.

I have ran those the work pretty good. I use Treal brass wheels to get more weight down low. You will find it will crawl best with 60% weight front axle and 40% rear. They make a bunch of brass parts for these trucks. Also different shocks and shock angle helps a lot on the 1/24. Tons of groups on Facebook and it is a deep rabbit hole lmao.

Why in the 2nd pic do they look big enough for a kid to drive?
