RhinoBuildsRC custom RC kit builds are performed by experienced RC car builders. We can build most rock crawler and scaler builds to the kit setup and then make "Performance Based Adjustment" based upon your type of surfaces you will be crawling or trailing on. Our performance based adjustments will be based upon the anticipated usage for optimum performance.

Having us build your next RC rock crawler give you a huge advantage, as we have the experience of making sure the hop-ups fit and work as expected. As you may or may not know, many times there are some minor modifications that have to be made when adding hop-ups or even when you are just setting up the RC just like the manuals recomend. We offer stress-free custom RC kit builds.

What's not covered in our custom builds: Servo horn, battery and esc connector, body painting and tire prep with gluing.
