great truck and pics

51WillysJeep · 06-02-2009, 07:22 PM

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

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......

Well it's got scale leaf spring flex.

Jester666 · 06-07-2009, 06:42 PM

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.;)

ctrwannabe · 06-08-2009, 07:13 AM

LOL- Thanks Justin- Yeah it was a BLAST to get those 2 trucks out on the rocks.. ( FINALLY..!!

). Those hill climbs were sweet, and yes there were some pretty steep off camber spots. We didn't get any video of it, but I also had one of my XC wranglers out wheelin' and it DID take a pretty nasty spill, but nothing broke.. ( it took a nose dive off a 6 ft. cliff right onto a sharp rock ledge..

) NOW if that had happened to Clampy, I will admit that I WOULD have cried like a little BABY..!!

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..

Enjoy.

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??
