Default My MRC "Couch Crawling" Adventures

Made this video today after creating a few couch courses for my stock MRC to run. I had to tape the camera to the controller and record while I drove. It was tough but made it more challenging and fun at the same time. Anyway, here's the video:

Nice video. Stock crawlers are still quite capable.

You gotta love coach crawling, it is great to look outside and know it is 33 below zero and you can still run a crawler, I have done the same thing many times and my wife just shakes her head when she sees it. One tip though, if you role over don't try to flip it back to the wheels like you would on rocks (the body clips have a tendency to catch in the cushions, at the least they will pull out, in my case they pulled some thread , oops).

Looks like fun. Getting to the shop in 40 below wind chills makes the "couch course" look pretty good.

Yeah I am really anxious to see how all these new upgrades will change its performance. So far I have my GC2 chassis, Mayhem wheels, Flat Irons, and 4WS coming my way soon.
