Climb to a mountain pass known as "Passage of the Bear"

Very hard ascent zigzagging up the slope

Atxerito and Chinebral peaks, our goal.

The first arrow points to a small shelter in the "Paso del Oso".
The second, aty the "Paso del Caballo",
The third arrow, the refuge of Linza, where we began the hike.

Descent path, that's just a mountain for approximation to peak.

Have you gotten a chance to try the Pro-Line Trenchers out yet?

Yes, these trenchers have about 10 hours of testing, 2000m climbing up and down, some 22 km of trails with all types of terrain.

Undoubtedly the best place is the loose soil and dry limestone rock, have a wet rock acceptable performance and not very good with mud or snow.

Limestone rock. Very good: 8 / 10 . As expected, soft rubber sticky.
Wet rock. Normal: 5 / 10. Badly as most all, never guess to where it will be without skidding
Loose soil. Excellent: 9 / 10 . Amazing, no doubt their natural terrain, very good traction.
Grass. Acceptable: 7 / 10 .Not so much as chevrons V, but acceptable, perhaps a slight tendency to slip at low speeds
Mud and Snow . Normal 5 / 10 . with 1.43 kg / wheel maintain a good good combination of traction and flotation
Maneuverability : 9 / 10: Very good, easier to turn because they are somewhat narrower and have fairly hard sponge.
there is less contact with the ground. Very accurate.

all dimensions in millimeters

I really enjoy mountain hiking with my R/C's but you have elevated it to an art form. Your country has some of the most beautiful mountain scenery I have ever seen.

My local *mountains* are ant hills by comparison.

Keep the pictures coming I have just sat and looked through your whole thread from the beginning at one sitting.

I have viewed this thread several times and it is amazing what that emaxx has been thru! Makes me wish i never sold my old one. I have a question tho, have you considered changing to 2.4? One less thing to possibly snap when the truck ends up end over end, As well as no huge antenna to possibly bend on the tx. And a little bit less wieght for battery's?

Never saw it there....but I haven't been on there in years either...kinda miss my T-Maxx now, but I'd buy an E-Maxx instead now that lipos and brushless motors are so good!
