- Click to Subscribe! ► bit.ly/JOovvU - Welcome to my backyard rock crawling course. On occasion, I hold events here.. so I thought I would practice it up today. I have been rock crawling for 6 years.. and by no means am I a pro. But, I thought I would turn on my camera to capture some of my thoughts - and so I can review my performance.. If any of them can help you too.. then it's an extreme bonus!
I have mounted up these new RC4WD 2.2 Genius Tires on Ballistic Bead Lock Wheels - and they are sick. I want to test them on the rocks, so I am using them on my (now discontinued), Axial XR10 Motor-on-Axle (MOA) Rock Crawler. This truck was built as a kit several years ago, with upgraded hardened gears, suspension links, and little else. I am running a Dual Tekin 35t Brushed Motor setup, with dual ESC's. The Radio system I am using is a Futaba T4PX.
The tires and rims were quite expensive for me. I am in Canada, and go by CAD - but usd - Tires: $60 (for 4) Wheels - $140 for 4. Plus shipping & Tax.
As mentioned in the film - there are multiple sets of rules for Competitive RC Rock Crawling. One set of rules that is very popular are located at the following link: bit.ly/2bXMwiy I believe a poster put these on my RCSparks forum in the year 2012, and are a variation of the old "www.usrcca.com/..." - but this site link (usrcca) is now "closed"
How scoring works:
Much Like Golf, the person with the Lowest Score WiNS.
Everyone starts at 0 - Check this out... Rules:
-10pnts points for clearing the gate (Start gate may, or may not count) In this film, my start gate does not deduct points.
+10pnts if you touch the gate
+5pnts if you have to roll over the truck, back onto its wheels. If you are reversing while you tip, the rollover points are added, not the reverse point.
+5pnts Be returned to the last completed gate - rear wheels on the gate line.
+10pnts for a complete re-position, or “hand of God” move
+1pnt for a backup move (“rolling backward”, or sliding backwards does not count.) The Backup has to be on purpose, under power.
Normally, this is a timed event. 10 Gates =’s 10 Minutes per round.
So, my score for going through these 8 gates would look like this:
My Score starts at ZERO.
Start Gate: Clear - No reward
+5 Rollover before Gate 1:
-10 gate 1 clear
-10 gate 2 clear
-10 gate 3 clear
-10 gate 4 clear
+5 repo to the last gate 4
-10 gate 5 clear
+1 backup Gate 6
-10 clear gate 6
+10 touch - gate 7
+10 touch gate 8
31 points of infractions
60 points in deductions
-29 is my score for this round
USUALLY - REAR STEER is iLLEGAL in competition crawling. Really, it just depends on who your group is, and if they allow it.
RC Rock Crawling is a technical, but wonderful challenge! I have many rock crawling videos.. and I hope they get you excited about this part of the hobby!

Hè Rcsparks im VROM the Nederlands and i have one rc car and it Goes 60+mph faster
I have a team durango dest 210
I'm glad you explained everything in the video! Some other RUclipsrs assume that you would watch their other videos for an explanation so that way they don't have to explain it again and repeat it. While I have done RC for a while, I still learned some new stuff in this video such as dual motors and the scoring system. Thanks!
Phantom Driven So many people (like you say) wont explain it again. This I do not understand. For example, there are 80K people who saw this video. That means there are 7 Billion who didnt.. Lol. In my opinion I should take the time to explain in almost every video.. Lol ;) Thanks for commenting Phantom!
Good
Every time I get on RUclips I end up with 3 new hobbies lol
since I first got into the RC hobby 3yrs ago I have tinkered in various corners of it and initially I wrote off crawling as a boring small challenge that wasn't really wasn't my speed. I really appreciate your detailed insight into this incredibly gripping and intense sport. just grabbed an old crawler at yard sale and now I really have a reason to get it up and running.
Make sure to set up some Gates.. and you will see the challenge becomes even more apparent. Good for you re-visiting this side of the hobby. It is becoming a lost art.. as it is very technical.. and most folks don't have the skill ;) It takes practice of throttle control and wheel placement. Gates are to be 16" apart. Have fun!!
Just your controller looks more expensive than my rc car lol
I know it sucks
Fax lol
Lol😂😂🤣
How much us that remote
@@ismoketobacco its like 6 or 8 hundred USD
What the actual bleeep!
1. I didn’t even search for this
2. I never knew RC cars went this deep
3. I am now fascinated beyond belief
Sheesh. Much has changed the last 20 years. Last time I had a R/C ANYTHING, there was ONLY right, left, forward and reverse.. Anything above that was considered to be witchcraft.
Never been so intrigued in these type of rock creaking rc competitions so neat
Every video you make puts a smile on my face.😀
Then my mission is once again accomplished for today!
+RCSparks Studio 😀
+Maniac_ Gaming Exactly!! The guy fucking got a damn brand new GT-R for free. All he does is record himself, yet he makes thousands a day.
Guys.. Neutrally.. You got to give it to Roman. Love him, or hate him - whatever your stance is.. It's pretty damn cool what he has been able to accomplish. I can tell you that it is hard work. This stuff takes time, planning, cameras in your life ALL the time, and a constant barrage of people judging your life. Im not saying he's an awesome entertainer.. but I am saying - as a fellow RUclipsr - Dang, Pretty cool :)
K.C.'s RC You know, one could have the same saying to me, KC. But you know different.. because of what i show. Personally, I am not a "Roman Soldier".. but I have to respect the effort that goes into making a channel that large.. as well as extra channels, and movies. BUT! I know folks have different opinions - and Im not here to change yours. I seem to be right in the middle of you. I dont watch Roman, but I know this sh!t ai't easy ;) Lol..
That was intense, best rock crawling video I've seen. Awesome. Thanks for sharing and please put up more. Oh and a fantastic truck. Thanks John
You should start a landscaping business building rockeries that serve as crawling courses.
This was so relaxing to watch. Like watching Bob Ross painting.
Daniel Konrad yes! I didn’t make that connection
Man I have never seen a video like this. I have to say it was very entertaining. Made we wanna try it out lol. Awesome video Sir!
Thanks Eugenio :) I have many styles of RC film.. and I bet that you will really enjoy the RC Adventures you are about to find here! Thanks for leaving a comment!
I am not a fan of trucks, real or RC for that matter. Nor am I a fan of rock-crawling in general. But for some strange reason, I am a fan of your videos. Unexpectedly entertaining. I will see you next time ;)
Those tires/wheels look killer!
This is my favorite video you’ve ever done. Love the technical driving
i didn't know they made individually lockable axles for crawlers. I bet with more of a speed machine, that feature could be used for a line lock style burnout.
Only on dual motor motor on axle vehicles
I don't understand why the trolls would give this guys videos a thumbs down. It takes more effort to thumbs down then it takes to just move on. Odd. Thanks for the video!
That's a bad ass course bro
You could defeat every crawl event with this crawler! Amazing!
You almost need 4 wheel steering on that rig, I think it would have helped today.
Having independent brakes for each side would've probably helped in a few spots as well. Do they make crawlers like that?
***** I have not seen any, but they do make at least toy grades with the steering I mentioned so I would assume they make full models with the steering.
Actually, in all of the Rock Crawler competitions I have been to.. Rear Steer is illegal, and against the rules. But, Yes, a comp with rear steer would be cool to...
***** Well it certainly would be easier lol. Take care my friend!
Anthony Eaglebarger I think thats the point though my friend.. its not supposed to be easy! haha ;)
I didn't get why you wouldn't want one of your axles spinning until I saw you crawl, VERY nice technique.
NICE Course!! I like your Rig too.... It looks less like a Bug, like most Comp Crawlers. I got back into the Hobby just 2 years ago. I missed the rise of the AX-10s and Bergs. I don't think I missed too much - personal preference - Scale is what got me back in the first place. (I had been out since the early 90's... It became too cutthroat in Competition, and everything seemed to be made with a flat Pan!) 😖
I gotta tell you, after seeing this video, I can now better appreciate the skill and intensity of Comp Crawling!!
Carmine 🚂
What an amazing comment to read. Reason being, not a lot of people know about the AX10 and Berg's..so you have been around for a very long time in this game! Yes, competition was fierce.. and that was were I myself, got started. I had no idea that I was entering into a "more advanced" side of the hobby at the time.. I just kinda fell into it at a local meet up I attended. "Teds garage", I have a few videos of it still. I was one of the only people to start running a scale rig.. and was laughed at for walking by myself in the woods with a scale trail truck... Lol. Little did I know that Scale Trail Crawling was about to explode world wide. Im glad you enjoyed this video.. and I was able to share some of my "old experience with you. It still applies today even when you have your trail rig our on the rocks! See you on the Trails, Carmine!
Aaron, I've always loved Scale Trail and Crawling.... I've always loved SCALE!! My modeling started in 1975, with Model Railroading (still in it!). I got into RC around 84-85, when a couple of co-workers came in with a Modified *Hornet and Frog!!!* That got me in, the original Gold Pan RC-10 got me HOOKED! 😱👍👍 The looks and handling were like nothing I had ever seen before. I even ended up being in Semi-Pro 1/10th Buggy, sponsored by Novak and Bolink.......
Are either one still in business??
I worked up through the ranks, making it into 1/8th Nitro Buggies. Dabbled in "Monster Trucks", but they were neither Monster - or a TRUCK!! Just another Flat Pan Buggy, with longer body posts and Shocks....
About as Scale as those Tin Aircraft they sell at cheaper Toy Stores!!!
I was SO disgusted with what they were calling Monster Trucks - that on one Friday Heat, my friend showed up with his Kyosho USA-1, and I with my Clodbuster - - REAL Scale Monster Trucks!!! 😱😜😂😂 (For the time)
We went in during a practice Heat with our Beasts - *and proceeded to RUN OVER Every fake Truck on the Track!!!!* 😂😂😎😀😉
We were BANNED from that Track, and it cost me personally, over $700 in damage to the baby truckies.... But you know what Bud, it was totally worth it!!! 😇
The Buggy Game got SO intense and cutthroat, it was no longer a Hobby. It was no longer fun.... It felt like if I bought the latest Buggy on a Thursday, by the A-MAIN on Saturday - it would feel OBSOLETE! 😫😖
Now, I was making GREAT Money back then, but still understand value.
It felt like pissing into a Forest Fire. *I Raced 1:1 at the same time.* I expected that to be Cash Intensive.
I was also in the US Air Force. In 1991, I had to go to Saudi Arabia, to help Kuwait take back land they had lost, by the greasy hand of Sodom Hussein (purposely misspelled!). Made it all the way through the entire War (that we called "Desert Storm - the Mini-Series on CNN"!) 😀😂😂 LMAO
Then, in the last two weeks of cleanup, me and my CO hit a well placed IED, in our HUMVEE. The Lt. Col. was paralyzed from the Ribs down.....
I broke MANY BONES in both legs a feet, split my left Femur in HALF, cracked Skull, three chipped Vertebrae, both Wrists and 7 Fingers. And *I was* supposed to be the one in better shape!!
THIS will come back to bite me in the Ass, in about 15 more years....
I LOST the pure fun of lighter Competition in small scale RC, and going balls to the wall - with the only damage in a high speed wreck, was a bruised Ego - and Wallet....
So I walked away from the Competition Arena, aboot 1994. Still played! I still regret to this day, selling my original T-MAXX. Nitro...... *with REVERSE??* OMG I was floored!!
I also didn't realize that a few years after I left, some guys started getting together, inventing a NEW Genre to my favorite Hobby...
Many of them Brazed up a basic Roll Cage, and plopped Clod Axles under them, with Servos mounted ON the Axles - FINALLY realizing the promise that Tamiya made about 4-Wheel Steering!
Basically, I believe that I had witnessed...... somewhere near the Birth of the 4WS, Low CG, MOA Rock Crawlers!! 👍👍😵
I watched that absolutely BLOW UP all over the Northern Hemisphere, Europe and Southeast Asia by the end of the Century. (DOESN'T that make a Guy feel OLD!!)
I still wasn't "hooked" back in yet. When the Competition really heated up, those Rigs ended up costing $800 - $1500 *or MORE!!* And, in my opinion, looked like BUGS!! 😖 Nearly OVER Capable, they could slink all over the Rocks, like a Gecko. The "Body" became basically an Insect Shell...
Their capabilities could NOT be denied!
Please, *Don't get me Wrong!!* Those Rigs represented a TONNE of R&D, many hours of sweat, swearing, busted knuckles, and a LOT of good 'ol Know How!! 👍👍
Like I said, about a Month ago, at the start of this Book(!!!), I could never appreciate the way they LOOKED. But I knew that a small number of guys were on to SOMETHING!
Since the mid Eighties, I lived on the Shore of Long Island, NY.... By the end of the 80's, I made a couple of "Beach Walking Buddies". Basically, *Trail Trucks!*
I seriously geared down a Tamiya Blackfoot and Nissan King Cab (I MISS that King Cab more than ANYTHING!!) 😐😭😭😭
~ To Date, MOST people still don't know that the Tamiya King Cab "borrowed" most of Associated's "Rock Crusher" Transmission - AND that to date, is the ONLY Truck that Tamiya ever made, with a 12.2" Wheelbase!!! 😱 Anyway, I made interiors for them, with the rigid Plastic Tamiya Drivers from the Bruiser. (Talk about an incredible Rig!!)
I believe that was the Rig that INVENTED "Scale".
Anyway, NO chance of making this short! (Sorrey!)
Moving to 2015..... *EVERYTHING* went Wrong, and exponentially BAD!
It started in March. I lost BOTH of my Parents, 33 days apart. Keeping them going as long as I did, nearly depleted my life savings.
My Dad *was TRULY* an American Hero! Because of this, he and Mama were Honored with a Full Dress Service and Burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Almost all expenses paid - EXCEPT for transportation of their Bodies across the Country. I am now in Arizona, Arlington is in Washington DC. The whole experience COMPLETELY tapped us out....
(REALLY. The House forclosed, because we didn't have ANY money for over 6 Months, I had to sell my sweet Mustang GT, and 90% of my RCs - to not even break even.
We became Homeless, Car-Less, Hungry and truly Dirt Poor.....
I made the mistake of putting up a GoFundMe page. How humiliating! The Page got buried among MILLIONS of others, those who did see it, made RUDE comments, told me that I was full of Crap. My "favorite", the ONLY Guy that actually helped a little, sent $50, and said "Here. Take your Wife out to Dinner, quit whining, and go get a JOB"
WHAT A GOOD IDEA!! Wish I had thought of that.
At that same time period, I severely strained my broken body, moving around my 500lb Mama.... Mid-2014, I was taking so much time off for medical reasons, my Boss suggested that I take an early Retirement - which was easily better than the alternative. So, I became a 48 year old, disgruntled Retiree!! Disability Pay from the Air Force kicked in, but is just enough to be POOR! 😖
So, yes, ALL this is a LOT for someone who doesn't know us, quite hard to swallow....
But, FATE wasn't done yet....
On 18 Sep 2016, my 28 year old Daughter was driving out to visit. She was *T-BONED* by a speeding Semi........ KILLED instantly, we were told.
Like that could have made it ANY better! 💔💔💔
WORSE? We were STILL busted broke and starving. We COULD NOT afford to go across Country for *my Babygirl's Funeral!!* 💔 I was a level of shattered, that nearly ended me...
I was NOT doing GoFundMe again!!!
A friend suggested that I try PayPal's donation service, paypal.me
Free for Sender and Receiver. The catch is, it doesn't automatically put itself out there.... *I have to* share my link with Groups, Friends and Family. That's humiliating!
Hey! One good friend actually GAVE me an Axial Wraith Spawn Kit!!! Another two had given me some hop-up parts for it! I'm SO Blown Away by somebody's pure generosity. They didn't even know me that well... I was Humbled and Blessed by that!
It's currently my ONLY Axial Product ever! I gotta say, having something purely FUN to do, has been great for my health!! I at least FEEL somewhat better.
So, I started putting my Link out there, sharing my depressing story each time...
Within 8 Months, quarter of my Model Railroading "friends" either blocked me, or unfriended me.
*Two-Thirds of my RC friends* blocked or unfriended me!
Most of my Facebook"friends" - GONE too.
A few told me some version of "if you're going to BS us for money, at least make it a more believable story".
3 RC friends and 18 Model Railroading friends actually helped, as much as they could.... I KNOW that at least 4 of them could not afford it themselves!! Great people.
Not nearly enough, but we're humbled, and appreciated EVERY Penny!!
I haven't shared my donation Link in over 7 Months.......
I can't believe that my Government DOESN'T Give me enough to survive!
In the past 22 Months, I've actually lost 118lbs!!
Sure, I really needed to, but not by starvation. I'm also Diabetic, and half of my Medical Care is NO LONGER Covered, thanks to Obamascare!! 😖
Can't afford co-pays, even WHEN I can get to a Doctor.
The MORE I tell about our situation, the more COMPLETELY UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE it Sounds!
I don't know how to help us.
Well friend, I went overboard, and have caught you up pretty much from 15 years old to today!!
Carmine 🚂
Aaron, I am sorry!! For whatever reason, I just started writing, and could not stop. I didn't intend to dump ALL of that on you!
Although....... should you know anyone who might be willing to help us...

"BALL TOUCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
HAHA! YOU HAVE Been around a long time!! :) Sweet
GOSH, I had no idea rock crawling was so technical and electrically complicated!
haha I would so chase the cat with it
nice vid...I'm bad I've been slacking on watching them
Watching this again for the 20th time love it.
Hey I'm a big fan and you got my into buying my rc car, now I have three-I was wondering could you do a unboxing video of a Tamiya 57874 xB Pro Porsche 911 Carrera RSR - TT02 - Ready to Run RC- because that is what I think my first car should be and I am wondering is it the right size, speed, and just what I want
That trick saved you so much!
awesome vehicle
must of cost you a fortune
Thank you for teaching me all of this. I would love to build a mantis like crawler, really love that design.
Too much talking on ALL your videos. not enough actions.
Your Video's are awesome. They help me for perfection my Crawling Skills and give me good Tips and Triks. Best weises from Germany 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i almost fell asleep watching this...
Phat Ballz did i ask no one cares
Joshua avalos768 I cared
@RCSparks Your first few videos on XTM X-Crawler got me hoocked to RC and i ended up buying it from US shipping it to Egypt back in 2009 while I was stationed there. So far.... the journey continues and now I have 6-7 kits and a kid along the years and we all enjoy RC as a family. Thank you Sir!
You contributions are so positive and welcomed by all of us :)
Kind Regards from Netherlands
Hello from CANADA! My friend, GOOD memory.. wow.. we have been together a long time ;) Good on ya for enjoying the hobby so much
You got me wanting a rock crawler now! That looks like a lot of fun!
That's an incredibly capable machine!
Now I learned a lot about Rock Crawling & I may just have to buy One now!
And No loud Music -Yea! Thanks Aaron !
Awesome run, I loved watching this. It actually reminded me of a real full size rock crawler.
once again thank you bud hope you and the fam are doing great
everything you just said in this video was music to my ears i have a new love for R/C now
Hell yes, literally the most informative video i habe seen YET, THANK YOU, so many questions answered
Hey, that's great to read! Im glad that the commentary was helpful to you :) Thanks for taking the time to give some feedback
funny part is that you guys have so much into the big RC's that the Polaris line of UTVs are in a similar price range XDXDXD full scale fun
Fantastic! Very strong, but sweet control in adverse situation. Climb rock with very easy
I found this enlightening and inspirational. I have a ridgerock and love it for how cheap it is. Your rig is awesome!
Well, seems like it is a lot of fun to drive this crawler. Was really fun to watch!!
I remember RC car action running a article on how the Moa was a the best choice in comp style rock crawling. (Early 2000). But the cost of two motors and a esc that could handle it was too much for most. This is why the scaler movement became more popular killing the hard co rock comp. Also I feel like most that we didn't always wanted a racer but, something close to a 1:1.
I would still like a Moa just because they are different.
Moa’s allow for much harder lines, but render pointless what are hard lines for axle driven trucks. Though you may enjoy turning the plate around on lines that usually humiliate your axle truck efforts.
Love all your vids medic. Doesn't matter which area of RC , all your videos are quality!
Much respect from the U.K
Mr Harrison! Thank you so much for coming by to check out RC ADVENTURES today :)
+RCSparks Studio TTC, big dirty, crawling, builds etc I watch them all haha. Need to get my rc's sorted and back out again 👍
This is so satisfying to watch! Awesome track and great driving honestly, love the rig as well! If I had access to that kind of track or rocks i'd go ahead and buy a comp crawler
Those look exactly like ITP mud lights. I have those on my four wheeler they’re amazing tires
i like these kind of videos where you talk about what your doing, the ones with music are good too but i love the talking ones! keep up the good work!
I never realized how technical those trucks are
Really nice stuff here, thanks for an interesting and informative video! :)
man your driving skill are so good i wish you guys made your own parts, yall know so much about rc and whats best for what that i 100% would buy whatever you sell.
This was absolutely fascinating!
Sick rig Medic! It would be amazing to have a life size rig like that!
I love this rig!!!! I want one just like it.
I feel beside my self seeing a celebrity like you recognize me . keep up the amazing vids we love what you do
Haha.. Craig.. It's Aaron.. Come back to earth.. Lol. You are more of a Celebrity with that Monster Beard. Remember, the Legend of Craig Rosens Beard? Lmao..
Very interesting! It's cool to see what it takes to scale and climb. Lots of possibilities
im not a huge fan of rc comp crawling but your commentary and the rocks you have set up made it really interesting and makes me want to get some more boulders for my rock course
NICE Course!! I like your Rig too.... It looks less like a Bug, like most Comp Crawlers. I got back into the Hobby just 2 years ago. I missed the rise of the AX-10s and Bergs. I don't think I missed too much - personal preference - Scale is what got me back in the first place. (I had been out since the early 90's... It became too cutthroat in Competition, and everything seemed to be made with a flat Pan!) 😖
Reminds me of Trials Motorcycle . The most fun on two wheels. Great Channel
So Roger, you are a Trumper? How is that working out for you?
Yeah the axle mixing makes perfect sense...locking fronts or rears to act as a anchor to drag around corners more sharply than you could if the tires were turning into the corners. Nice ballistics by the way
Best crawler I have seen
I also love this channel this is by far one of the best RC channels in existence today
I never got into comp crawling but I do miss my old traxxas rig wasn't anything special (early 90's era) about it just a basic baja truck body on a dog common frame with a few upgrades to the motors gears servos etc... but it was a blast to go out and whip around in the sand at the beach.
thanks for showing me there's still life and even competition in the rc world that looks fun
Cheers bud!
Oh and by the way Awesome driving as well I love the truck I have got to get myself a rig, and I'm loving the course I cannot wait to travel to Canada to RC with you and your friends one day my brother one day
Love your crawling videos! they are so entertaining with the walk-through commentary! I never thought I would want to make a crawler, but I have to say it looks like SO much fun!
man I wish I had the money to get in to this hobby
My crawler bro run this tires on his Roc Hobby 1/6 Willys ,man these tires make the Willys near unstoppabel in the woods,on gravel hills and even near bull dust hillclimbs are no problem.
I don't care what anyone says about the xr10..they are awesome!!
Man, they are one of the coolest machines that was released. So sad they are gone now!
Thanks fpr all the great detailed tech. tips for rock specific crawls...im new to the crawling, so this def. helps me not having to beat the crap outta my truck while learning. Thanks bro
someone should hire this guy to do RC ring announcer very good commentary at the microphone
Wow...RC tech gets better all the time....this video certainly made me smile :-)
love it ,lots of fun to watch,you have plenty of great ideas.
They look like atv tire. ITP mud lites. They have served me well. I like tires that wear down over time. Adds to the fun.
We need more of these
Thanks for this video on how to do a comp run with points.
Been wanting those tires but wasn't sure how they'd do rockcrawling...Looks like I'll be getting some new tires!! Excellent video too!!
You are living my dream lol I want a crawler but just can't afford it myself
That looks like a lot of fun!
I love MOA crawlers. I still have a losi crawler with the MOA kit. It is great to see this video. I want new MOA's to come out.
When your "hobby" requires a degree in software engineering. And mechanical engineering. And physics. And race-car-driver level focus and skill. Haha love it!
Well said :)
Its Awesome the way you explain the way rock crawling competitions, just wish I had a rig to try rock crawling. Keep up the AMAZING work Medic
Who else finds it funny when he drags the back tires
Very awesome. I love when you do vids like this.
feel the need to get outside for some drift time.
i reaalllyyy like that Futaba transmitter
this is when you use an air transmitter and set up for dual steering as well as dual to quad motor setup , would be amazing crawler with full individual control
I still rock my XR10! Also like RC4WD Bully 2.0 motor on axles!
This is pretty fun to watch. I've got river ice chunks to crawl over here in Atlantic Canada and its not so slow and methodical because of the slippery nature of things but fast and fun. I do have to upgrade the diff gears in my Summit though as I've shattered my second set :(
I have an old Nightcrawler that I modified to have independent all wheel steering.... the front and rear axles are identical. If you buy the parts that make your steering work on the front axle you can install them on the rear axle for all wheel steering.....
Them tires working great .
I want a RC like that real bad, and I’m asking for one for my birthday
Nice video!!
FYI, for rock crawling, slick tyres with zero tread is the ideal. Tread is literally only useful on loose surfaces.
Garron ah... You have obviously NEVER done any real rock crawling, either full size, or 1/10 scale. FYI, you're an idiot...
New to rc. This takes skill here. You're good.
Hey Marcus! Thanks for coming by to check out this RC Adventure! Glad you enjoyed the film :)
Such a great video. I remember watching this in 2016 and here I am again watching it again with the same enthusiasm and attention haha.
