About this deal

It drove some of the ways back, out of the trees and along the path with the socially awkward people.

The rock crawlers with more realistic bodies (including the officially licensed Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco) could not afford to be so cavalier because their taller bodies made them less stable. You can swap between them all, on the fly, so you'll never get stuck without some serious drivetrain options to choose from. Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Leyhill Enterprises Limited acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers. Hehe, I just bought one of these on a whim while browsing a local-ish Action Model Center in Torquay.

There is oil in the dampers but the chassis and shell are so light that it just bounces off the floor when dropped from 12 inches up. Even when it needed to climb slippery banks the Ravine kept going without issue, the combination of excellent 2. If using your rock crawler in water, slush, mud, snow, or similar, you must set to removing dirt and moisture from the machine as soon as you’ve finished driving it.

You wouldn’t take your car off-roading or mud-plugging, but if you’re interested in that sort of thing, an RC rock crawler gives you access to this fun world. The FTX Ravine is indeed a buggy in shape compared to the mini-doppelganger crawlers, but it’s still hugely capable of dealing with the rough stuff, particularly given the value for money.Inspired by a full size caged crawler, the Ravine features a Motor Over Axle design for a lower centre of gravity with full control of the front and rear wheels. Utterly caked in mud, the Ravine looked so triumphant and pleased with itself, much like a Jack Russell would after a mud bath. Topped off with a tubu-lar rollcaged body and interior set, the FTX Ravine is ready for you to go climbing!

In addition to modification difficulties, be warned that if you do take a Ravine out in the mud, cleaning it afterwards sucks. The FTX Ravine R/C Rock Buggy Crawler gobbles up challenging terrain like it’s a box of movie popcorn… done before the film even starts!People were pretending not to notice in that British, socially awkward way as the FTX Ravine trundled along the park path. That distance was well over two miles, plus whatever distance it had covered whilst digging around in the mud. In addition the Ravine’s is fitted with steering servos both front and rear for a full array of different steering options.

There’s no question that its relative value made it all the more impressive; but even so, the angles of articulation, the steering modes, the amazing approach angles, these all came together in harmonic unison to allow the Ravine to dance up and down the gnarly slope until the battery ran flat. And the central lower half of the motor/diff housing is removable, presumably for servicing or repairs/replacement.

While its top speed is modest, the Ravine could certainly maintain it in the mud; it just jiggles around as it scampers over the top. So yes, it had rained that morning, which turned the dirt trail the colour and texture of smashed chocolate mousse and given it a rich earthy smell to boot.
