The Crawl Space — Local services in Wheat Ridge

I drove 30 miles down from Longmont for a special birthday present for my 9 yo. No amazon this year, I’m so over cheap disposable toys. Staff was super friendly, he was happy to show me the big trucks. The pics don’t do the indoor boulder track justice. It’s cool and scaled well for the big trucks. I went with the deadbolt, a mini truck ($109). It’s awesome, my son played with it all day, only taking breaks to charge the battery. At night it was perfect for indoors-crawling over blocks and toys, we made obstacle courses and had a blast. 9 years old and he is able to master the nuances of steering, 4x4, low med high gear-because this truck is the real deal, differential, sway bars all the moving parts you’d find on the big trucks, just mini.

So, when a tiny little (for now) ma and pa hobby shop can bring so many people together for tons of super challenging and extra fun events, that is something...

A friend of mine introduced me to The Crawlspace and after several years being out of the RC world I wanted to check out what's new. RC rock crawling was totally new to me and the owner took a lot of time to patiently answer all of my questions. He obviously cares about the hobby and his customers. I was able to check out a Friday night open crawling event and talk with several enthusiasts in addition to trying out my friend's setup. Towards the end of the event I was hooked and ready to buy a truck of my own. Once again the owner took plenty of time to get me well set up and I walked out plenty excited to build the new truck. The Crawlspace's prices are quite competitive and the backing of an actual store instead of an online portal is huge. I'd much prefer to support a local business anyway. Looking forward to...
