The modern man lives in a stressful world. To beat the stress he pursues hobbies, indulges in social media, travels so on. For every activity that man can do in reality, it has its twin in virtual reality i.e. the digital space. We can thus paint, play games soccer; baseball, cricket etc., play cards, shop online, even cultivate farms virtually. This availability of virtual reality has given man pleasure but also brought on a slew of physical and mental illnesses. Nowadays most doctors advise people to engage in outdoor activities. People even indulge in simulated war games, paintball, cliff diving, off-road trucking etc. Techno-enthusiasts, in fact, have even scaled down all-terrain vehicles, guns and interestingly cars and helicopters operated via remote control.
Remote controlled, scaled down cars, crawlers and trucks are all the ‘in’ things. One envisions remote operated cars like the one little boys get for their birthdays and Christmases. Although RC cars and crawlers are miniaturized versions of the big real ones like RC toys are, they are extremely detailed. As an RctopGeek would tell you, they are far more intricate with brakes, suspensions, anti-collision plates, durable tires, shock-absorbing outer shell made of high-quality plastic or aluminum, brushed or brushless motor, batteries, radio, and chargers.
RC cars are used in racing competitions but when one considers RC ‘Crawlers’ one can obviously guess the way they move. RC Crawlers are modified and used as Rock Crawlers (mimicking real-life ATVs). RC rock crawlers maneuver their way on and around rugged, sandy and watery terrain. RC rock crawlers are available for children as toy RC versions or for hobbyists and more advanced formats for aficionados. Again coming to the RctopGeek, these are the must-haves in a great RC Rock Crawler.
Durability- Everything has a limit to the wear it can tolerate before breaking down but one must remember that the crawler you have purchased is for fun outdoors. Therefore, a good crawler must have a strong frame and body, durable parts made of good quality plastic, rubber, and light metal.
Power-While beginners are recommended electric (simpler, eco-friendlier, up to 8 V battery), the experienced can handle the Nitro powered crawler (lighter, quicker, runtime is more, Lithium polymer battery)
Suitability-RC crawlers can be tricky to handle. Therefore a less expensive, ‘Ready-To-Run’ crawler kit suits a beginner. A more expensive, detailed, complex, nitro-powered crawler suits experienced people. Besides, an RC road crawler must suit your aim or owning and using it.
Does it have add-ons?- Anti-skid tires with a good thread, LED lights, radio operating on good frequency, waterproof structure,4WD set up, batteries and chargers, spare tires make the crawler all the more attractive and fun.
