What's the big deal with rock crawlers anyway?

Desert RC - Nice shots!

I too was skeptical about crawling myself, but then decided on a whim last Christmas to pick one up on ebay, I got a nice ax10 for really cheap and have had a blast with it. My brother and I spent quite a bit of last Christmas holidays trying to see how many beer cases we could climb in the living room, we ended up making a whole course up (some how we kept having more beer cases???). The wife was NOT impressed when she got home.

Its a lot of fun and like stated above you can crawl anywhere, you don't need a lot of room, its not noisey and you can make obtacles out of just about anything (boxes, dirt, rocks, neighbours cat, etc) so if you live in an area that doesnt have an race tracks close crawling is perfect.
