How to Build Rock Crawler RC Kits

RC, or a radio controlled Rock Crawler has become a growing hobby for many hobbyists. These types of vehicles are miniature off road 4x4s that can drive over off road surfaces and rocks. You can get a RC Rock Crawler kit to get started on building Rock Crawler RC kits.


  1. Read the instructions for your kit three times and then remove every piece inside the kit box. Skim through the instructions, and then comprehensively read it the second time you read the instructions and then read over them again to see any ideas or tips you can find.

  2. Place the kit parts in three separate sections. The kit consists of the Rock Crawler's body, its engine, its wheels and its axles. Grab a knife or a scalpel to cut pieces of the kit piece frames off. Use a brush or sandpaper to file down nibs on the pieces.

  3. Assemble the drivetrain. Assemble the tires or wheels first. Every Rock Crawler kit is different, however, assembling the drivetrain is usually a basic process. Each wheel and axle has pivots, springs and shock absorbers. After you assemble each wheel or tire, attach the wheels to the axles and the chassis.

  4. Build Rock Crawler body according to your kid instructions. You must assemble these parts: lights, the hood and the doors. 

  5. Use a fuel hose included in your kit to test the RC kit's engine with fuel. Fill the engine until it reaches about 1/3 of fuel. Do not place the engine inside the RC kit until you start the engine. 

  6. Assemble the chassis. Place the chassis inside of the Rock Crawler body and then you can add the engine into the engine compartment under the RC kit's hood. You can purchase paint or you can decorate your Rock Crawler anyway you want, it is your choice.
