The best of my mountains hiking & crawling

[DickyT]

I used to follow your thread at Traxxas forums before I stopped going there about 1.5 years ago. I am very happy to have found it here. As always incredible pictures. Thank you for sharing.

Trail #54 Old path of pilgrims from Queralbs to Nuria.

We expect 900 meters of ascent in just under 8 km .

August, very hot, almost 20°C [68 ºF] before sunrise.

-

-

-
cog railway across the valley. No other access to the sanctuary

-
Horsetail waterfall, a very common name, and repeated, in these mountains

-
100 º F and continue climbing. I drank almost three liters of Aquarius sports drink and water. Two fans of ESC and motors permanently connected.

-
Reaching the highest point "Creu d'en Riba"

-
And suddenly arrived at the resort. Ops! pardon, Pilgrim shelter...

-
For the descent, we will take the cog train. Has changed a bit since my childhood .
It's not like the crusty old wooden units with dozens of coats of varnish on the seats and light bulbs
that would light up intermittently as more or less current was collected by the pantograph, but remains part of its charm

Yes you should be paid by Traxxas or at least sponsered !! Thank you for posting these pictures, so incrediable !!

[super-maxx23]

those are some of the best pics i have ever seen i wish i could take my summit there

[durwank]

These are amazing pictures! They belong in National Geographic! They are THAT good!

[super-maxx23]

do you have lockers in the back or the front of your maxx thanks

[trucktrial]

Thanks for your comments and support. Traxxas currently not even gave me some stickers .... It is my hobby and while I can afford it, I still enjoy it.

My Emaxx has the two differentials locked for more than 40 hikes, is absolutely essential for hiking trails of moderate and high difficulty . It is true that it loses some direction and ability to maneuver, especially on descents, but the traction and control is total.

Driving with both differentials locked requires some practice and pay attention the first few days.

This might be a little old thread but I just found it... I like your experiences very much and I admire your way to do this hobby.... CONGRATULATIONS.

this is the most awesome and inspiring thread I have seen. Im going to start rc hiking as soon as possible.

Man the pictures look so awesome. You have taken that E-maxx to the max. You know what would be cool: if you could show us some more picures of the emaxx itself, like underside, without body. What motors do you run? still have the 2 speed? From one of the pictures I saw it appears that your rear skid plate is wearing out pretty good.

Soon I'll post some pictures of the Emaxx inside.
Now I have two engines integy 45T, 11/72 ratio and 9.9 V in Life 3s2p.
But I have long used the two original titan to 14.4 V

[nuke24]

wow, this is amazing, the pics are great and the places are just stunning, i would love to drive there. or just hike

[dbrad]

That looks like a blast.

I can't stop wondering about how many batteries you carry with you on your hikes. Do you drive the Maxx the whole hike or do you end up carrying it some of the way?

Thanks for posting pics of your adventures.

Another challenge for my Emaxx. The top of the left peak in the background.

Gaining altitude

Rocky sections on the path


Turning next to the Pombie lake and shelter

The fisherman.

Up!

The small lake where we saw the fisherman

-
Hardest part of the climb

-
We're on top!. In the background, the Midi D'Ossau peak (2884 m)


When I returned, and when there was less than a kilometer, the Emaxx spent the last battery, but it was worth.

Wow this is just amazing.

[nickd18]

I know im interested in seeing the rig that does all that! and major props to you!

[trucktrial]

nothing particularly unusual in these Emaxx crawl setups.
2 Integy 45T motors, Rpm arms, Big bore shocks, suspension rather high, rubber sealed bearings, Mip CVD, 2 Diff spool, RRP gears and clutch, 12/72 pinion / spur gear . And sometimes spend up to 35000 mah!. Well, it is necessary also to have a great fondness and good shape on mountain hiking

[mrG]

Amazing, thanks for sharing

[Manning]

great stuff!

thank you for taking the time and effort to share.

Trail 57, third attempt at the highest mountain. Natural park Rocks Of Aia.

It does not seem possible to climb this mountain with a 4x4 Rc. But nothing prevents me from trying again and again.

Approximation, following a stream
