Default A shafty has crawled the waterfall!!

For those familliar with the Green River area....

Heavy's Hill, aka The Waterfall has been whooped by a shafty, a Maxx shafty to be more precise.

I'm a Clod guy, but I had an E-Maxx sitting around so I built a Maxx crawler to try to be the first up it with a shaft.... and I made it..

No pics or video, but Highmark was there and saw it. Nothing real special about it, as a matter of fact it's in the "for sale" forum because as I said, I'm a clod guy.


For those NOT familiar with the Green River area, you wouldn't understand unless you saw it..

Good job!

I tried it last weekend while I was up there. The 12.5" wheelbase clod didn't have anything for Heavy's Hill.

Did you guys notice all the vegetation growing up between the rocks everywhere? I'll try to remember to bring pruning scissors and maybe a weedeater with me to the October Comp.
;)

Jeremy are you talking about this hill:



Or the other which isn't Heavy's:

Xtreme RC, The video you have is of me crawling it with Thumper, one of my clod rigs. (Thanks btw )

TC, I didn't know you made it.. My bad, I didn't think a shafty made it up yet.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure we are the only ones who've made it with shafts then.

Badger, I'd love to see a TLT make it, that would be kick a$$, you gonna come to the GR comp?

Yeah, my tlt wanted nothing to do with that hill. I did make it up the easy way though.

I have no doubt that you'd be able to walk up it carrying your TLT.

You know it! That place was awsome!

I will be going on tour at the end of this year to show all the little boys and girls here how to crawl like a pro.
