I´ve been for another testdrive at my favorite caste. The SW2 climbs really great.  But I have to cut some more at the fenders. I dont linke the noise the rubbing tires make. A part of the chrome bumper must say goodbye. Here is a picture, as promised, of the original "Frankenstein Castle" in germany. This is from inside, where even a lot of stones are left to crawl. We do not have any monsters here, atleast no film-monsters ...  , just little RC-ones...hehe The only drawback is, that it is very often wet here, and the stones are full of slippery moos.  Cheers, Pete |

that just looks soooo awesome, Pete... Nothing wrong with a little mud and moss  makes things more "interesting" and give the truck a little character Can't keep it showroom clean all the time, right?? Kinda like a little kid - you clean them up, make them look nice, but at the end of the day, they find a way to get dirty   |

Nice looking build. It looks like you've got the stock shocks working pretty good in the video.  | |

cool video and nice rig! i love to crawl where there is sand and rocks because you can actually get stuck and it’s more challenging!  |

The bender chasis rocks! You need to upgrade the shocks to get the full effect of consistency. |

I upgraded to Maxx big bore shocks, they ride much better. I just need to change to softer springs. Here maximum articulation:  Riding weight with batt-pack is (like on the picture above):4,8 lbs Center Plate clearance is: 2,75 " (I want to keep it low, for the steep rocks) Hope to get some more pictures of cars and castles soon....
