Check out the long awaited video of XRC’s 4-Stroke Crawler project. Crawling isn’t just for electric sissy’s anymore

something like that needs a nice reduction box along with a control jsut for the brake. That way you can load it up with power and also control the jumping. A smooth crawler can be done, it will just take more control. Build a race seat controller with brake and gas pedal along with a steering wheel and your will get the control you need hehe.
My dream is a flash steam crawler, that´d be some good torque!
no air filter!!!!! your killing that nice 4stroke they are soo nice you could you do that!!!
@Kawisaki100 It works on something called “Blow by” which means some of the unburnt fuel and small amounts of oil slip past the piston (and/or rings) and lubricate the crank. Hope this helps.
se that up with some wrom gears, and a taller gear ratio, then it would be perfect
it cant crawl!
the video of this song is funny..can you tell me the name??i cant remenber now..lol..very good video
so do you have to put oil in the crank case then
Um… where’s the crawling lol?
I just saw a nitro getting stuck on 3 inch rocks
that rellllllllll badddddddddd
how much can i buy an engine for like that?
that was awsome…..It would look sick creeping through the rocks….
It’s an OS Engines FS.26…maybe with some extra numbers in there.
@xtremerc Do you know the exact name of that engine i wanna do the same with my Tmaxx.
its about damn time someone made a gas crawler
very cool!! but……..lets see that thing really crawl. that was not really crawling there? i’m pretty sure that thing could not go where my axial go’s…. just sayin’ like i said it is way cool
It’s an OS 4-stroke for cars. Similar but not for planes.
is that an airplane engine thanks for answering!
excellent work, what’s the engine you’re using there?
I have a FS on my buggy, the sound is very realistic. If i wanted it to go fast, i would have installed a brushless set. But i prefer sound on my buggies, especially the Picco on my Hyper!
Yes, we addressed this issue in the magazine article. This was basically just to do it because we could. Not really because we wanted to make a crawler. I’ve been crawling for 3 years now and know nitro’s don’t make good crawlers. Not with the clutch technology we have right now in RC.
i understand 4 stroke is much better , and does have more low end tourqe . but the revs need to build up in gas engines to acheive tourqe ,were as a electric motor has instante power and does not need to build up revs , this is why so many peopel use electric for drift cars and rockcrawlers . . you just carnt beat them . but great project none the less .thanks .
I have never disposed them but when it ‘ll happen i’ll put them in the recyclable waste collection..so there is no problem..(i hope)
I used nitro (10-20% ,alcohol and castor oil) a few years ago but my throat and my nose always stinged… and it was not so good for my health and then some years ago i used 1:8 nitro buggy but now i use rc trucks like Tamiya Hilux, Axial SCX..etc.. so this is the first reason i use electric motors..:)
RC Engines run on Alcohol with a small percentage of nitro. So the pollution you speak of is minimal. FYI NiCd, NiMh and LiPos are not exactly biodegradable lol. I wonder how you dispose of your batteries? Recycle them by chance?
I have both electric,gas cars and planes and enjoy both equally.
You can use an electric fan to keep it cool. One of the heat sink fans would work. One guy even put a computer fan on an Inferno GT chassis
