Rock crawling is an extreme kind of off-road driving with a vehicle that has been customised to overcome some serious obstacles. From boulders to mountain trails, rock piles and foothills, this four-wheel-drive (4WD) beast can take on the rockiest trails you can imagine. If you like to take your RC vehicles off-road, then an RC rock crawler is a must-have item for your collection.
Coated in a thick and durable material, RC crawlers resist crash damage with ease. On rocky terrain, you’re going to need it — there’s no doubt there are some rolls and tumbles in your RC future! To keep up with all the bumps and jumps, RC rock crawlers come with maximum suspension and high torque steering. This allows you to elbow around hard terrain and manage some extreme moves.
When it comes to speed, power is not usually an issue. Real-life rock crawlers usually lower their gear ratios to drive slowly over obstacles without stalling the engine. The same goes for RC crawlers — while they can reach low to medium speeds while crawling and aren’t known for gunning it!
