The LDRC 1/18 Rock Crawler rolls in as a compact yet robust off-road climber designed for serious terrain conquering right out of the box. Its full bridge-axle 4WD architecture, LED lighting, and full proportional control deliver realistic scale performance in a palm-sized, Ready-to-Run (RTR) package—ideal for tight rocky trails or adventurous indoor runs.
Performance
Equipped with a responsive brushed motor and durable 4WD drivetrain, the LDRC crawler excels at steep climbs and uneven surfaces. The full bridge axle suspension ensures excellent axle articulation and consistent traction on rough terrain, while the 2.4 GHz transmitter provides proportional steering/throttle control for nuanced movement.
Build Quality
Built for durability, this mini crawler features a protective aluminum chassis, reinforced suspension links, and impact-resistant body panels. The integration of LED head and roof lights enhances nighttime crawling and contributes to a bold scale presence. Components feel solid and engineered for lasting off-road abuse.
Control & Handling
The proportional control system delivers smooth, intuitive driving dynamics suitable for both new RC drivers and experienced crawlers. Perfecting steep climbs or technical lines, the crawler responds accurately to input—never feeling jerky or unpredictable. LED lighting is seamlessly integrated and adjustable from the controller.
Ease of Use & Maintenance
Arriving fully assembled and pre-equipped with radio electronics, the LDRC crawler is ready to roll after installing a compatible battery and charger (not included). The modular design and simple clip-style body attachment streamline access for battery swaps or quick maintenance, making this crawler hassle-free for hobbyists of all levels.
Special Notes
This RTR crawler arrives complete with LED lighting and electronics but requires a 7.4V LiPo battery and charger, which are not included. The small size is great for tight spaces but may struggle with larger obstacles—expect thoughtful line selection when trail crawling indoors or outdoors.
