Question Serious Question for Experienced Comp Crawler Owners

Hey All,
Im considering building my first true competition level Super class crawler. So far Im just back lot bashing rocks with my Gmade R1, lol. I know all the basic etc. but, Im in a wheelchair. I know with a majority of natural rock formation (outdoor) courses I'd be totally screwed since I wouldn't be able to stay close enough to my rig on the rocks to monitor my progress. Do you think there's enough indoor man-made courses in the midwest for it to be worth the time and $$$ to build a big time Super class rig, or just stick to bashing? You aren't going to hurt my feelings, so please give me as much honest advice and opinions as you want! Thanks guys and gals!

Brandon

My super build has been a total blast. The build its self has been an adventure. As for driving it supers i dont know what to tell you. Maybe an fpv setup and a good spotter would get you the best of both worlds....

an alternative solution would be to go with the mini super like mrcrackhead's losi mrc build. That would give you super like qualities but would be easily driven on an indoor course.

Most indoor rock piles are somewhat designed for 2.2 or smaller and scale.
The majority of the courses would likely be too cramped to bring out the best of a true Super.
