Think the brat is a TA02

His biggest problems were he had massive wheelspeed and very little ground clearance.

there were a few axial based scalers there. You just need the xtrail chassis and a nice scale body... There were some er, not so scale rigs there too and they had a good time.

We're having a blast and what we're discovering is the following:
-scale rigs arent as competent performers in terms of sheer crawling, but that makes you drive better to get a good result. Line selection, tire placement, judgement all are more important with the 1.9 scalers and makes it more challenging and more rewarding in our opinion.
-scalers look cool.
-any rig will have a good time at the locations we use, but the 1.9 scalers are challenged by more of the terrain.

I was amazed at how much fun a bunch of guys (and a girl) can have driving little trucks around. One key thing everyone enjoyed was the group aspect of the driving. It was seriously good fun. Do it!

Check out our latest videos from Vasquez Rocks, where we intend to have another scaler gtg on the 30th of this month. Turnout is looking like it will be significantly more rigs this time too.
