What's the big deal with rock crawlers anyway?

It is actually quite fun if you are out with a few buddies and you all have similar vehicles that are about as capable. My friend went as far to get about 12 tons of rocks in his backyard and build a rock course. I like scale crawling myself, basically make a vehcile that looks as close to scale as possible, waterproff it, and then go wheeling! You can play just about anywhere, even in a ditch!

I will say that I think big powerful electric monster trucks are the ultimate rc fun, but some technical crawling of just playing in a mud puddle is alot of fun too. I still remember how cool it was to drive my 1st scale truck in 3 feet of water at the boat launch.
