My old AE RC 18MT died after 15 years. This may be a good replacement. Been looking at a Traxxas ERevo 1/16 brushless. Have to decide on rough off road or fast off road.

I've been enjoying mine. I just took it to the beach yesterday. I think it's time for some maintenance, though. It's starting to get squeaky.
A bunch of pics here: Finally some legal offroading in Central New Jersey!

I think Associated did a great job. It even has IFS which most RC crawlers dont. I really want one but money needs to go into the real thing first lol.

I've been following this guy on Instagram who designs his own 3D printed bodies and sells them. His 5th gen 4runner looks pretty accurate. Also has 3rd gen 4R, 3rd gen Taco, and is working on an FJ.

RC trucks are great for the times when you can't get out in a real T4. You can do wild stuff you would not consider in the real one. Just flip it back over and continue or pick it up and move it.
Running Traxxas EMaxx, TMaxx and ERevo

Am I seeing it correctly? $220 for just the body? It looks really well done but wow. Maybe I'm a cheapskate but wow.

Dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyum! That's awesome!
I just WD40'd my little Trailrunner this evening. It developed a squeak while on the beach last weekend. I drove it a little bit around the yard, and it sounds great. I'm hoping it lasts a long time
