The Suburban Chicago Rock Crawlers (SCRC)
will be making their iHobby Expo debut this year with a large indoor rock crawling arena. See these amazing electric R/C 4x4s twist and contort their way through rock mountains and valleys, across a suspended cable bridge, up and over impossible looking ledges and walls, all while trying to avoid penalties and hitting gate markers. These little rigs may not move very fast but are one of the fastest growing segments in the R/C industry. Come on by and see why rock crawling is all the rave.
