I've been watching tons of the crawling videos from RCSparks for the last couple of months.
Hey! Speaking of RCSparks, he did an unboxing vid today!

been a subscriber to rcsparks for years now, didn't watch that video though. frankly id rather dry shave my balls with a shard of glass. nothing against medic, but fuck traxxas. i never watch videos that say traxxas in the title. hey he's got a forum to, i post there once in a blue moon. https://www.rcsparks.com/forum/ good stuff on there. its mostly scalers and crawlers. good info and a good group of people over there.
iv been thinking about getting a scaler for a while. probably just get the axial, but iv got my eyes on the hpi. just a lack of info for that one and hpi's still restructuring so... only thing stopping me is i really don't have a place to use one, and iv got 14 other RC's to screw around with and really don't drive those much anymore. i have a tendency to buy, build, set up, and loose interest

Well I'm brand new to the hobby so I'm spending a lot of time reading about stuff and realizing I can't afford it. The one I linked is the 1/10 that I could find that had mostly positive reviews.
The rcsparks forum guys are the ones that suggested it in fact. Good bunch over there for sure.

first time you buy a hobby grade RC you'll crap your pants over cost. infrastructure and support cost is what gets ya. adds up quick.

That's incredible! I will say thought that I would have wanted to see more of the interior if it were something I had done.
It reminds me of this. It's a toy that a family friend gave me, knowing my love for the car:

Wow! Just learned that these 60s tin toys fetch quite a price on the web...

Cool slot cars but that scale is huge. Do you have some customer track they run on?
