Default The video that got me into RC crawling.

I was looking for parts for my Nylint and came across this in 2006.

I was wondering today where this all got started. Who was the first to run an organized event, anyone know?

Good find Ricky. I still remember seeing the Mudcow vids a long time ago and knew that I needed to have one!

The MudCow vids were what got me into it. I got a clodbuster kit and made up a chassis with a hacksaw and hand drill.

So if we're stepping back in time a little and driving 2.2S rigs now...when do we step back and start driving Supers with Moabs and no dig?

I put twin sticks on my clod after just a few months, I already had the nice 6 channel JR radio. JIA came up with some cool mixing ideas that made them easier to control.

True...I never think about twin sticks since I've never owned one...at least not hobby grade. Watching that video from the '06 nats I didn't see too many situations where the driver used dig is what made me think about it.

The courses weren't really set up for dig like they are now. 4 wheel steer was more important back then.
