“Crawlers Pit Stop is under construction! We’re building something epic for the RC community.
FEATURE DROP
We told you something new was coming… and it starts RIGHT NOW.
MEET THE CREATOR
A brand new series where we tap in with the builders, innovators, and mad scientists behind the RC parts and chassis we run, break, and obsess over. If it crawls, links, flexes, or shreds — we want to know who built it.
Kicking things off with a heavy hitter
The one behind the Scurvy chassis kit with links — say hello to @salty_micro
This rig isn’t just a looker — it’s a purpose-built performer, and the creator behind it isn’t just another name in the comments. From concept to cut plates, we asked the questions you should be asking. Tap through the photos and dig in — because this is what the RC culture is all about: builders building for the love of the game.
And this is just the beginning.

Think back to your own first experience with RC—how old were you, and what drew you in? Sometimes, the first car we choose says a lot about our interests or what we value in the hobby. Does reading about someone else’s starting point make you reminisce about your own, or maybe inspire you to share your story with the community? What would your answer to this question reveal about your journey?
Names often carry hidden stories or personal meaning. When you hear the inspiration behind “Scurvy” as a chassis name, does it make you rethink the names you’ve given to your own projects? What’s in a name for you—function, fun, or something deeper? Maybe this story will push you to explore the ‘why’ behind your own creative choices.
Everyone has that turning point—the spark that shifts you from just enjoying something to wanting to create your own mark. As you read about this creator’s moment, does it remind you of a time when you felt the urge to build or start something new? What would it take for you to make that leap in your own projects? Sometimes, hearing someone else’s story is all it takes to realize you’re ready for your own next step.
Every project hits its share of roadblocks—some technical, some personal. As you read about the biggest challenges faced in developing the Scurvy chassis, think about the obstacles you’ve run into with your own builds or creative projects. Did those moments push you to find new solutions or rethink your approach? Maybe this story will remind you that the toughest parts of the process are often where the most growth happens. What challenge are you currently facing, and how might you tackle it differently after hearing someone else’s journey?
Sometimes, the things we’re passionate about outside of RC shape the way we approach the hobby itself. As you read about what inspires this creator beyond the world of RC, think about your own interests—what else gets you fired up or brings a fresh perspective to your builds? Maybe you’ll discover a shared passion, or find a new idea to bring into your own projects. What would your answer reveal about the way you create, both inside and outside the RC scene?
Everyone has someone in the community who pushes them to think bigger or try something new. As you read about who inspires this creator, consider the people who’ve influenced your own RC journey—maybe it’s a builder whose work you admire, a friend who encouraged you to keep going, or someone whose unique style changed the way you look at the hobby. Who’s your biggest influence, and how have they shaped the way you create or connect with others? Sometimes, recognizing our inspirations can open the door to new collaborations or ideas you hadn’t considered before.
There’s always that one location where a build truly comes alive. Hearing about the creator’s favorite spot to run the Scurvy might get you thinking about what makes a place memorable for you. Is it the technical challenge, the scenery, or the memories made there? This perspective could push you to explore new trails or appreciate your usual haunts in a different way. What kind of place brings out the best in your RC experience?
Ever catch yourself daydreaming about teaming up with someone whose work you admire? Reading about this creator’s dream collaboration might get you thinking about your own wishlist—who would you team up with if there were no limits, and what kind of project would you take on together? Sometimes, just imagining the possibilities can lead to new goals or unexpected connections. Who’s at the top of your dream collab list, and what would you want to build together?
Striking the right balance between form and function is always a challenge—especially when you’re designing something from scratch. As you read about how this creator approaches that balance with the Scurvy kit, consider your own priorities: do you lean toward performance, aesthetics, or try to find a middle ground? Maybe this perspective will get you thinking about the trade-offs you make in your own builds, and what really matters most to you when you’re working on something new. How do you decide when to prioritize looks over capability, or vice versa?
Thinking about making the leap from building to designing your own chassis can feel intimidating—but hearing advice from someone who’s done it might be just the push you need. As you read their insights, ask yourself what’s holding you back, and what skills or mindset shifts could help you take that next step. Maybe it’s about embracing trial and error, or just starting with a simple idea and building from there. What’s one piece of advice you wish you’d heard before starting your own creative project?
