Other day at Toys R Us i saw a jeep Rubicon remote control crawler.


That one sucks. It LOOKS like it would do well, but it doesnt.


Iunno, I got the Rubicon for xmas and wow it is incredible. It was 50 bucks and is 1:10 scale, locked f/r, kinda a "2 link" w/coil-over setup and has variable throttle.

Heres day 1 outa the box:

Day 2.. setting up f/r shocks like / \. No trimming of springs, lots of undercarriage trimming:

Day 3.. moved more towards a "4 link" setup. Just 1 spring centered over axle. Got lots of body trimming to do, body is really restricting flex:

Rear suspension:

1 fender is trimmed.. lol. There really isnt any difference in driving it with the new suspension mods. Best thing is, all the mods were done using stock parts:

Well worth the money, which wasn't even mine since it was a gift <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
