im not sure if this is new but Formula Off-Road is getting a good following now ....

as well as RCC has recently taken serious interest in doing these in the 1:10 scale ...

convert em scalers ... replace the tires with em SAND PADDLES and go wild on the sand!!!!!

Looks pretty sweet, more excitement than scaling

Floating on Water

that water video is sweet, I remember them doing something similar on topgear once in iceland



so who's going to build the first FOFF rig here?

i'd love to do a build of a FOFF!!! some serious sand bashing EP style!!!!!



but the berg and xr-10 rigs i have now has put me on financial hold for this month and the next!


lets see if there's enough interest .....

lots of members on here have scalers ..... put some crazy BL motors and some Paddle wheels and get ready for some Formula Off-Road action!!!

very interesting indeed. . .

i saw the new thread they made in the RCC forum last week. . . was really amazed by bender's build. . .

damn

hi chard .... i know of a nice vertical sand dune area near where we crawl as well!!!

bender's FOFF rig is the orange rig in my earliesr post ..... sweet video as well!



get some cheap 2nd hand ax-10 axles and tranny .... HD CVD's ..... any chassis you wish to run .... Nice BL Esc & Motor Combo .... and definitely 3S lip or higher!!!!!

more FOFF action ... 1:10
