Smile Using a crawler on the trails!?

Hi i have just bought a Maverick Scout RTR and think its great.

Question is will it be ok using it on trail runs whilst looking for rocks? for example long runs at full speed till the next challenge? Its running stock motor at the moment and i thought maybe put a 35 turn it?

I have never done or been to any crawling events so i dont know if its normal or ok to run them full speed for periods of time.

Basically i go out for walks with the girlfriend and look for places to climb!

I have a CC01 jeep so i usually take that with me but i would like to try find and climb bigger things!

Mainly just concerned about the drivetrain running at that speed for a long time and will it be ok with it?

There really shouldn't be any problems with running the truck that way. On the rocks is where the drive train gets stressed, just running it along trails is not hard on the truck at all.
