SoCal RC Rock Crawlers - GI Joes @ The G-Spot

[monkeykinglordtail]

Great vid guys.. Where did ya get the roll cages? I have looked on google and none of the sites ever have eny or discontinude them. The only place I can find them is in japan for nothing less then 275.00 to 300.00. That's way to high!! Can you guys help me find one?

[pigeonfarmboy]

@monkeykinglordtail Gotta watch ebay for the Hasbro jeep bodies. These cages were all handmade using braze and brake line tubing. Looks like rcpcrawlers has a 4 seater cage for sale.

[fEnMaTiC]

How much do crawlers cost and nice trucks. Im into racing but wanna get into crawling any info would be appreciated.

[pigeonfarmboy]

@fEnMaTiC Too many variable factors depend on how much they cost.  Do some research on rccrawler to get started.

[ingis76]

[Dreamerzk1]

[ilike2flyit]

[pigeonfarmboy]

@MrRCStig Just gotta watch ebay or check local flea markets/garage sales. Hasbro was the manufacturer. Dragon also currently makes one but it's pretty pricey. RCPcrawlers also builds about one a month and typically sell them in ARTR or RTR form.

[nadurspike]

What kind of action figures is that? GiJoe's? In Brasil dont have this model.

[warofsamurai]

this are 1/6 gi joe bodys but wath crawler or axles do them mount under the bodys

I tried to register at the socalrcrc . org forum, but never got the e-mail to activate my account. I was wondering if you could possibly help me out be re-sending another e-mail to activate my account. My username that I used was MUKAMOmember and my yahoo e-mail address was ussprinceton2004

[berndiggydiggy]

Slow it down! Haha classic.

[rcfreak363]

how did you at 2:23 get the drivers arms to move when the wheels turn?

[WW2MANIAX]

great scalers!!

[tonibikezr1]

Hi I'm from Barcelona SPAIN

A friend of mine have a "gi joe" willys 1/6 scale and I would like to buy it. Would you have a "tutorial" and some pictures on how to convert the Willys to a rock crawler like your? Are the diferencials and some parts from AXIAL rock crawler?

[Devlin543]

8O wow

[helocrazed]

I have the Hasbro Humvee in 1/6 scale. Would you have a "tutorial" on how I'd be able to convert his to RC? Not necessarily a climber, just scale RC?

[pigeonfarmboy]

You have PM.

[trellabor]

Very nice here again. I love the Willy's bodies, are they custom built bodies or bought? Can you tell me where to source one maybe? Thanks!

[pigeonfarmboy]

Hasbro made them years ago. Ebay is the only source remaining.

[trellabor]

I finally got one, and it came with trailer too. Is there a link that i can look at that shows maybe how you guys were able to convert them to RC so cleanly? I'm anxious to begin my project!

[YOELCOMANDANTE]

They have still had a few impressive vehicles. The chassis is of gijoe and they have connected the engine truth? It gives taste to see this video.

It receives a greeting, friend

[comrad575]

very very well done video

[jeepmeat13574]

Hi Just wondring where i can find a flatie body they are so cool i like the big scale look, also i love the vid man and the sound over reminds me of medal of honor or some thing :)

[llamabeanz0r]

at 3:22 the guy rolls his jeep and he obviously doesn't have a roll cage. how did he survive to finish the video?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Ancient Chinese Remedy....

[TeamDebead]

Sweet Vid! The sound effects are awesome! Let me know if you guys are ever down in San Diego area, wouldn't mind seeing those rigs live.

[jinspade16]

2:01 was that a cc01 chassis?

[pigeonfarmboy]

No, they are all built on the actual plastic chassis. We reinforce the rails with metal.

[caballogris]

Very good video ed. , best models!! I'm thinking to build one for me!!! Greetings from Barcelona, Spain!!!

[dogcrick]

well done! All of them turned out great!

[kri55h]

are the chassis from scale model toys?

[hlbatesjr]

RC rock crawling? Wow, I never heard of it. This is very, very cool. I would like to do this. I'm going to look into it. Awesome video. Thank you.

[okayamita]

Incredible, looks real, all owners of vehicles congratulations, that is fantastic, a Spanish greeting one that shares the same hobby

[atypicalspanish]

Okayama, te sigo de cerca ja ja ja, he entrado aquí un día más tarde que tu, parece que nos gustan cosas parecidas. vaya pedazo de jeeps que se montan verdad? son los jeeps de los gi joes.

[okayamita]

Me gustan este tipo de videos, son unos coches muy currados y los lugares donde ruedan son fantasticos, que mas decir, jeje Ya veo que me sigues los pasos, Saludos.

PD: Y pal Primo tambien.

[keenart]

2:45 wtf dude actually steers?? those are bad ass..

[lamboozal]

When did DOD get vehicles?!?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Haha since now!

[CueBall909]

Great jeeps! I was hoping to find something like this before I built my 1/10th scale rig because figures and accessories are so easy to find. This'll have to go on the "to do" list.

[LILLY26MELITA]

great scale video and the jeeps look awesome. great work.

[wheelman20012002]

thats just BAD ASS Video . look so real and great . great job on the camara GUY A+

[madcowraceteam]

That working steering wheel is sick!

[1953willys]

Nice vid!! that's just plain cool!

[lemons17771]

yes specs please, wheel base, chassis... or do you have a build thread on this?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Check out rccrawler in the "Large Scale Rigs" section.

[lemons17771]

thank you i will do that nice video and rigs too!!!

[xj9674n]

where did you get the old military bodies, chassis+

[pigeonfarmboy]

Hasbro remade them a few years ago. We're actually just bolting on alot of the components to the plastic chassis with some reinforcement in places.

[axialviper]

awesome scalers, great touch on the

gi joe's.

[gregrocks90046]

carnage!
