Nylint 1/6th scale Rock Crawler for sale at fastharry.com
Wow these Nylint 1/6th scale RC Rock Crawlers are hot! We are getting a lot of interest on this For Sale page so we thought our readers might enjoy seeing pics of our personal Nylint RC Scorpion 4×4 rock crawler. Don’t forget to check out the new in box Nylint Rock Crawler 1/6th scale 4×4 we have that is for sale too.
Nylint made these Rock Crawlers for a limited time, in 2 sizes. This one is the bigger crawler, a true 1/6th scale massive crawler. It measures approx. 22 inches in length and stands 15 inches high. The suspension really works quite well and is very well thought out. The crawler has a massive amount of torque, surprising for what is deemed as a toy. The tires are special too. Made of soft rubber, they were designed specifically for this vehicle and have a unique tread pattern designed for crawlers.
Nylint is one of the biggest toy makers in the industry and what most people don’t know is that the owners of Nylint are big rock crawling enthusiasts. They actually started making this as a labor of love. The reason they stopped? Well, it goes like this. The big crawlers were set to retail at 400.00 dollars. The stores were allowed to sell them for a street price of 300.00 dollars. Of course Walmart gets a hold of these big toys and decides to discount them further which pissed off the Nylint company to no end. So, they stopped producing them. Shame that Walmart screwed things up for us. Who knows where this would have ended.
Powered by a 12v lead acid battery, it also has its own transmitter, 2 speed forward and reverse transmission, and like we said, a unique crawler suspension that lets it travel over just about anything. Also included is a charger and the bonus rock crawling DVD. The Crew at fastharry.com really enjoys using our personal Nylint crawler. No obstacle is too big for this behemoth.
This is new in box and very rare. Please contact us for shipping details.
Priced at 300.00 dollars, FREE SHIPPING (48 states only) Local pick-up available in NJ/NY area.

i was just wondering if the nylint 1/6 scale rock crawler was still for sale. i have always been intrigued by this rock crawler. i am new to the hobby and i would want one of these to start on to get the hang of it. ive searched on them for a long time trying to find one to buy but ive had no luck. i wish i would have started the hobby sooner so i could have bought one.
sincerely,
Griff
hi griff, we sent you an email..
not to make light of your nylint, but i bought the jeep bodied nylint 1/6th crawler at a local thrift store for $8.99 plus tax. the only thing wrong with it was that the battery door on the transmitter was gone.
Damn, Wish we could have found that!….Very Cool!
hi. i have scorpin rockcrawler i got it for my birth day back when a was around 12 i still have it but it dosent work anymore. i was wondering could it be fixed? i would love to have it working again for my son bec this thing would crawl anything.
Hi Cody…Is it a Nylint Rock Crawler like the one pictured, the big 1/6th scale?..or was it the smaller one they sold (about 11 inches long)…And, it is a Nylint?
Cody are the wheels just not turning
Hi Brian, Thanks for joining in and visiting our site.
If cody ever gets on again tell him to take apart the things that the drive shafts are in to see if its just a broken wire like mine was.
Will Do..Thanks!
Do you Know of a rock crawler that is cheep and is good
Brian, are you looking for a RTR?….and some type of price range?…also, full scale? or mini/micro?
I’m a youtuber with a nearly 10,000 subscriber base and I’ve been wanting to do RC videos, I was trying to find this crawler do to a friend having it in the past. I’m trying so find something pretty nice and RTR certainly. I am considering a bit of a baja truck kinda deal like ones I’ve seen from traxxas, but they are pricey. I get payed for making videos, and could get it back on it, but still. hahah.
What do you suggest as the cheapest, and good running crawler or trucks with decent speed that could possibly do a few jumps?
Jordan, what price range?..Also, you are going to find that all dedicated Crawlers won’t jump due to their lack of speed. Even putting a non crawler motor won’t help as they have gearboxes and ratios designed for crawling. The best combo would be the Traxxas Summit in our opinion.
I have no true price range really. I’d like to go as cheap as I could, but also not so cheap that it only runs for two days. I have a large yard that I could turn into a track or anything if I wanted, so I’m thinking of something along the lines of a Traxxas Slash 4×4, just they are quite expensive, would be nice to find something cheaper, but nearly like it.
I checked out the summit and it being $600+ is beyond my ability to pay. I turn 19 in July, so I don’t have the most money as of now, doing such a weird and unusual job hah
I plan to record these things to try to make it as interesting as I can for my audience as well, so I think something faster that works in grassy and dirt areas would do well.
So you are looking for a short course truck, not a crawler?
Basically, yes. I think a short course truck would be a place to start.
and you’re just gonna be using it to zip around the back yard?..or do you plan on going racing at a track in the future…
OK…We would go with a Team Associated sc 10 RTR (ready to run)…the only thing you will need is a battery. Now, here whay we like this truck. The newest tech is brushless motors and Li Po (lithium polymer) batteries. The sc 10 copmes with a brushless set up..BUT, you can still use an older style NI-MH battery (nickel metal hydride. you are also gonna need a charger.

HPI Racing has the Blitz which is what we race in the pro version. That runs about 250 dollars, includes a Ni Mh battery and a simple wall charger. It is also equipped with a speed control that is Li Po compatible, so you can add a brushless motor later on and run with a li po pack too.

The traxxas slash is OK too….but it is an older design with a high center of gravity and if you decide to go racing will not handle as well as the other 2…
The
I just checked it out, it looks nice, I will search on youtube for some videos to see how it runs as well. I will probably pick that up!
Thank you for all the help!
no problem, Thanks for visiting the site, let us know if you have more questions…BTW, the sc 10 and blitz really hold their value as people want them for racing…
I will be back for more questions I’m for sure. I’ve seen some videos and reviews on the sc 10, it looks really good, I’m excited to try it out. Thank you!
No problem…Glad to help. Let us know how it goes…If you go on any forums, let people know we helped you. We’d appreciate it.
I will tell my audience that you helped me, should bring you a few thousand visitors for a bit
That is greatly appreciated..Thanks Again..
