Rock crawlers aren’t built for speed. It is aimed at conquering harsh terrain and various terrain obstacles. They are designed with low center of gravity, big tires and rugged suspension and can crawl over rocks, mountains, waters, snow and all rough road.

Rock crawling works on slow speed but strong torque output, it need careful driving and superb control skills, and firm belief in making the climbing car successfully climb to the top!

Before crawlers became popular, RC car enthusiasts DIY a crawler using modified parts by themselves. Until 2006, Axial company launched the first real finished climbing car "Scropion", many manufacturers have also followed the example of Axial's products and made their own crawler products. For example, Kyosho, Teamlosi, and Tamiya. Since then, crawlers have set off a global craze! Many players also like to change the car into a real style. This kind of crawler is used to be called "simulation crawler", such as Range Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser, etc.
