I wouldn't mind trying rock crawling with a scale RC.

The thing with our other RC's (monster trucks and what not) is that everything is far from scale. We have far far more power, a lot less weight, and typically more advanced suspension systems (only because on the 1:1 scale MT's they can't make an advance one that large without having strength/reliability issues). However, this typically means that if we hit an obstacle with enough speed and/or throttle, we'll make it to the other side, be it by going over the obstacle or through the obstacle.

With scale, you know your R/C is pretty close to an actual vehicle (at least, that would be how I built mine, to an extent), so when you tackle a tough course, you can slowly work your way up as you would in 1:1. In 1:1, rarely do you make it to the top of the mountain by powering your way up. You usually break something or flip before that happens (which leads me to say that RC's are typically REALLY REALLY wide). So in a way you are forced to go the slow and technical route since your scale crawler won't be all that wide.
