This doesn't really fit the true definition of "Transportation" but this section is as good as any for this post.

I have far too many hobbies so today during the football games I fixed up my RC Rock Crawler. This crawler is based off RC4WD Bully axles, with a custom chassis setup. Next in line for modifications is four-wheel steering.

Two simple shots using my new 100 2.8L

After doing a little reading on photo-stitching, I wanted to give my hand a try. This is a grouping of 23 photos stitched together, similar to the brenizer effect. As this was my first try with this method, I see significant room to improve the depth of field and overall quality. Practice will make perfect.

Thanks all. I really like the scalers for their realism (check rc4wd for their hilux kits, insanely realistic). However, the functionality of the motor on axle crawler makes any terrain a blast.

The crawler gives me something different to get photos of and explore my backyard.

Nice, I thought about getting into these. I have a low and fast HPI Nitro Rs4. It's been a lot of fun but it needs a fairly smooth clean surface to run on. I thought about a TmaXX, but I enjoy the idea and the challenge of crawling. I just need to sell my HPI.

Sweet. I've seen pics of it on RCCrawler forum. Love the wheels. I have a Honcho and Summit for crawling and trailing as well as a Slash when I need to get my speed fix.
