| how steep can you crawl?
here's a vid I shot tonight. Just wanted to see what this thing is capable of. not sure how steep it actually was, but im guessing around 70 degrees. Just a piece of wood with a towel over it. Not a ton of grip, but it worked. http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/j...9-11-09013.flv |

If you turn the camera to the right angle, thats not 70 degrees. Unless your house was built uphill............... Dont take it as being rude, just doesnt look like its close to 70 to me. |

Get a cheap protractor and you will know for sure then. Have to agree with Rockcrawler, looks to me in the 55* area. 70* is possible, but not easy. The best I ever got was 65*. |

Yeah that was with no tuning just put it together. I run a gc2 now and I was doing about 67* with that without a whole lot of tuning.

| like i said, it was a guess.. and stock ck's dont have a 17 inch wheelbase. maybe if i put sandpaper on a board like the others, i would climb a bit steeper. gonna try it later tonight..

I had an old door and covered it with grip tape and we have some comps on the door. 65 degrees is about the best run yet. I will try to get a video up ..
