Default More Black Widow Footage...

Went back out today with some adjustments made. Had an old buggy body I slapped on it this time out...haven't decided if it looks good or not but it does have good rollover recovery :-P (wouldn't be comp legal..too short).

Ah, the illusive jump is no longer illusive?!

I swear it looks like your crawler can go up anything. What the hell is on the rocks out there, sandpaper?

Good editing on that one btw.

See, what I do is hose down all the rocks with a thin layer of clear silicone rubber Yeah right... It's very rough granite, if you slip climbing around on it, your shins and knees will be destroyed, I know this from experience.

Yeah, I think I like the WK body better too. Even though this buggy body is far better in rollover recoveries, I can't run it in a comp so it makes no sense getting used to driving with it. I've got a Sand Scorcher remake bug shell for it, just need to find a cool paint scheme.

The 2 slo-mo jumps...that crevice in the center of the screen was deep. The aftermath of the second jump, I had to climb down 8-9 feet into the hole to retrieve my rig

.....Didn't break a thing either.....

If you check out the "statistics & data" tab on the YouTube version...it shows a map of the location. The spot is out Southeast of Florence. I've always called it "the boulders". Some VERY large granite out there...and the best part is I can get right to them in my Mazda 6 Don't have to take the Jeep just to find big boulders.
