Very nice! I'm going to get the new Losi crawler once I have a job again. It looks like you have a nice little rock pile there. I'm currently building mine as well. I have about 2 ton of rock already and I have access to about 3 more ton. Would you happen to have an idea of a good size for the layout? I'm trying to get a feeler for how big to make the course. Thanks and keep up the good work!

The rock was part of an old foundation to a big barn on the property that had to be taken down. I have it so I figured why not use it!

The body is from walmart, I think?? (I got it as a gift) It was a cheap complete RC.



Mounting it was pretty easy, I had to cut the fenders and drill holes for the mounting brackets..



I had to get longer mounting brackets because the body is a little wider

I got the biggest rocks I could carry by myself, they seem to be working pretty good. I have a bunch of small ones to try to make it more realistic too. I'll be getting a couple more truck loads this weekend.
