What's the big deal with rock crawlers anyway?

[Finnster]

I didn't really get the point of crawling until I saw one of Arct1k's trucks this year, and the thing was seriously awesome. I've done a bit of pseudo-crawling with my revo, sav and other MTs, which was fun for a bit, but no way could compare to a hardcore specialized truck like his.

To me, the fun seems in what rediculous thing you can manage to get up. I don't know the rules and strats for points and all, but watching something flex and articulate and climb up an impossible pile of rocks seems pretty cool and quite a bit of fun.
Not so hot on the scalers tho.

If I had more time and wanted a new money pit, I may get one. OTOH anything I would get would most likely be a stocker, and would seem a bit sad in comparison. ;)
IDK, I may get an AX10 or something one day... that or a little foam plane...
