CRAWLER–RC Cars & Scaler
What is an RC crawler?
In principle, also a remote-controlled vehicle, but crawlers pave a way where apparently at first glance hardly visible. Thanks to enormous climbing ability, axle articulation, lockable differentials and last but not least cruise control, you get to know a completely different facet of the RC car world with these vehicles.
Where can I drive a crawler?
New obstacles are always found practically everywhere. Whether urban in the city on stairs, or nature-loving in the forest over branches and steep slopes is driven, is up to everyone. Crawlers are also ideal for extensive excursions, as the running time is usually extremely long. One thing is for sure: The challenge of exploring new paths is the attraction!
Is a crawler suitable for me?
In principle, crawlers are ideal vehicles for beginners or even children. Due to relatively low speeds, you can easily learn how to handle the vehicle and improve step by step. Due to the wide range of RTR (Ready-to-Race) vehicles, it is not necessary to individually build a vehicle, but you can start directly. Of course, nothing stands in the way of subsequent customization.
Which battery should I choose for a crawler?
Basically, the greater the capacity of the battery in milliampere-hours (mAh), the more energy is stored. That's why we like to recommend batteries with a high storage capacity for crawlers, as this often eliminates the need for recharging during extensive tours.
What is a Scale Crawler?
Scale crawlers are a subcategory of RC crawlers. Here it is not only about the pure technical equipment and the ability to climb rough terrain. But especially about the realistic appearance of the vehicles down to the last detail. In order to design your vehicle not only realistically, but also individually, we offer a wide range of scale models at Monster-Hopups. Starting with complete models like the Traxxas TRX-4 Land-Rover Defender over bodies, tires and rims up to accessories like sandbags or fire extinguishers you can find everything to dive into this exciting world.
How fast can an RC Crawler go?
In principle, crwalers can reach pretty impressive speeds as well. The Traxxas Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6, for example, reaches around 30 km/h and even drives 3 axles with a total of 6 wheels. Of course, you can tell that an RC crawler feels more at home off-road. But it doesn't have to be slow.
