What did I get?
I wanted to get a kit and build a car up myself, sadly that would have been out of my budget since I didn’t have anything and I have to buy everything I need. Most kits don’t come with any of the electronics, so I was better off buying a ready-to-run car that comes with all the electronics. I went with the FTX Outback Texan after watching some reviews and it fitting in my budget. Now it is a proper RC car build with traditional RC electronics, so it will be fully upgradable. Something I am going to do in the future. I wanted to originally get the green one, unfortunately that wasn’t in stock and I didn’t want to wait for weeks or months for it to arrive so I got the grey one, a problem that I will solve later.
Banana man for scale.
RC Crawling
RC crawling has nothing to do with and radio controlled baby that is crawling along the floor, it has to do with driving an RC car over rough terrain crawling over rocks and such, very similar to rock crawling with real cars. And where would I get an radio controlled baby anyway?
Yes, I would do it with real cars, if I had the money for it and a body that wouldn’t fall apart in the first 5 seconds.
