Convoy Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Just wanted to drop a line and say hello to everyone here. I have been lurking for a while and finally decided to sign up for an account. Everything that i have seen so far has been great i really love all the custom stuff. I'm really interested in truck building, and might be spending most of my time in the truck builders forum. I have been out of the hobby for a long time (years) and am hoping to get back into it. So if i ask anything stupid or post something in the wrong section, please have some patience with me, i am new here. Now for what might be my first dumb question. I did a search but didnt turn anything up. Has anyone here built a Rock Crawler, or trail truck? I am interested in seeing what and how it was done. I would like to build one but not sure where to start. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I don't know if I've seen any in-progress crawlers here, but let me say 'welcome aboard.' Don't ever be afraid to ask a question or share pics of the stuff you build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyn Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Welcome Carlos *waves* Enjoy these great guys. You are right they build awesome stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snapper Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Yeah, welcome from me too C. I'm sorry I don't know where I have seen any crawler models - would be cool to see those though. You mentioned being a truck builder, but seems like a little bit of everything is posted "Under Glass". I like to build certain types, but personally, I also like seeing all the different models (NASCAR, Drag, Trucks, etc.) "Under Glass" (I frequently don't visit all the different sections) - there are things from modelers and different "cars" that you can learn that apply across the board.

Custom Hearse Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Welcome! I have a feelin' you're gonna hear from the Big Kahuna himself... Gregg! He's a big R/C rock crawling fan, and I believe there was a rock crawler model in one of the MCM mags issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldboychas Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi Carlos, I'm a nubie here too. I'm building my first model in almost 45 years and the people here have pointed me in the right direction with every question I have asked! They are a great bunch of friends to have on your side. Welcome to the forum, I look foreward to seeing your posts again. Later, Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convoy Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thank you all for the warm welcome.. Although i said i would spend my time in the truck forum, i know that will be untrue, every section of this forum has amazing stuff, from tip and tricks to some simply amazing builds. I'm not really sure where i am going to start building, the two new trucks i just bought or maybe continue with where i left off years ago building an olds 442. I really want to do a rock crawler, but need to figure out how to do a full roll cage for it first. I hope the Big Kahuna pops in, i have an RC crawler myself, along with a few other RC cars and trucks. Thanks again everyone..

If not, here it is: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showforum=6 I've only bought one 1/25 truck, then sold it a little later. I peruse all areas of the forum and find tips & tricks, ideas are everywhere. Enjoy the MCM forum, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
