Thanks Guys- Yeah there was a little rock rash on the passenger drip edge from that V-Notch, but all is well, and Clampy pulled thru it fine..!! As detailed as this truck is, It actually wheels surprisingly well.. Granted I wasn't "beating" on it by any means, just driving it carefully around and over the rocks..! It was such a Blast..! Heres a few more from the weekend, and hopefully there will be more video up soon as well..! |

Great pics Chris Glad to see Clampy out streching his legs and getting is shoe's dirty. I almost thought he was fixed to you shelf. Just kidding bro, it looks like it did really well and I cant wait to see the video. |

more video, this one is steeper than it looks in the vid http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/e...nt=Clampy1.flv Here's another.....a brave soul to drive this far away from Clampy...I've seen many a crawler tumble down this stretch. It looks simple, but from a distance there are many little areas that cause a little whoops...... http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/e...pyProvesit.flv Last edited by HC Rc Guy; 06-07-2009 at 06:17 PM. Reason: added another vid |

wow!!! Great video, Clampy and the U.A K10 did amazing. Glad to see them both out there Chris. Thats some risky business climbing those rocks, they look pretty steep. I wonder how they would fair if they took a spill:-( But I'm glad to see the video didnt end with a grown man crying.;) |

Thanks Man, Its hard to tell from the video but I was just out the cameras view, and had an extreme eagles eye on the truck the whole time.. ( IF something had gone terribly wrong and the truck started rolling down the hill, I would have sacrificed myself and literally DOVE on the rocks in front of it and caught it... ) I've actually been involved in this R/C hobby for almost 20 + years.. Thank GOD in that time, I've learned how to drive these trucks pretty well.. | |

Hey Wade, Glad you could make it out again man, Sat was a Blast- ( we need to do that again before winter..!) The White Yota flatbed and the Muddy primer Toyota belong to Rocksolo, and each rig performed flawlessly all day.. | |

Its weird to see my old truck knowing that I didnt snap the pictures... I see your kicking it old school with the tool box instead of the soft top. What are ya doing with the soft top and old tires and wheels?? |
