Default Video Clip of Austin Dunns MRC from the Nats

For those that were at the nats, you might be able to appreciate this short video of Austin getting through gate 1 of the 2.2 course 4 at the nats. This was a really tough section even for the 2.2's.
Austin was testing the new Blue compound Claws, used a Grappler body and the new lipo pack mounted on our graphite lipo/servo tray. Other than that his Mini is pretty much stock.

I have a bunch more vid of Jay (Rubbaneck) Austin, Brian (rockpiledriver) and my buddy Albert running mine on some great sections of rock. I'll post more soon.

Both are coming very soon. The tires are part number LOSB1480B and will hopefully be available in 3 weeks or so. The lipo/servo plate part number should be online in the next couple days and I will post it as soon as I can.

Stock gearing, stock motor with 7.4 lipo pack. My guess is the combination of the camera video recording speed and how slick that rock really was.

Umm...At the risk of getting flamed on this one, whats with the editing? The first part of the video is like the same clip at least three times over and then it goes to slow motion for the rest of the run. Or are those s l o w v o i c e s I hear at the end my internet connection?

No editing at all. I do have crappy software that I used to reduce the file size.

EDIT: Ok that's weird, I do hear the slow sound, but the vid is the correct speed. I'll try and use my software here at home in hopes of of it being correct. I assure you though that I would not try to modify the vid...nothing to gain and to much to lose if I did that.

Yeah I was a nats and those trucks are really that capable.

Total blast to drive.

Thanks Rich for letting my brother and I test drive them.

Really got us sold on the product.

Thanks for the vid, pretty cool. Imagine what it would do with mods..... I ran some gates from a comp last weekend and did pretty well with it, very capable little crawlers.

Hey Rich, do you know when the servo plate and blue tires are going to be released now?

For a LiPo - get a Sidewinder micro on ebay. I paid $54 for mine and use an Electroflight 800 mAh battery now. AWESOME wheel speed.
