That's a fun gate to crawl, either direction

D.C.B. (David Crowder Band) is my wife's absolute favorite band. We have every album they have released.

What tires are those Tanis? I recognize the Losi Comp Claws, but are those a new Losi Carver in the rear for the first half of the video? They look like a taller version of the Carver and to have more spacing between the lugs.

Also, have you ever considered trying the Losi Gold or Losi Grey springs on your shocks? They are softer than the Losi White Springs. I am running the gold springs on my berg with a CDW LT2 chassis and it sucks down/ stretches out very low with dig engaged. It helps tremendously for side hills and it also allows the suspension to move easily to the shape of the rock. In some parts of the video the suspension looked too stiff or slow reacting hindering it slightly. (At least it did to me, but what do I know?)

BTW, very good video .

The tires are just regular Carvers....well, original Prototype version that doesn't have the "gription" finish, they were on the Vanquish SLW .7NT rims, that really skinny them up and make them look taller and pull the tread over onto the sidewall more. I also took the dremel to them.

I ran the gold Losi's on my SWX, and love them. I gave my last sets to my buddy SMR4RUNNER several weeks ago to try on his Berg with his new lightweight wheel setup(I thought I had some more at my house) and his that he ordered came in and he got them to me yesterday.

My suspension is REALLY soft....almost too soft sometimes(if I push the truck down it doesn't rebound back up, it just stays there), and I think what you were seeing is more link geometry related. I tried something new with this car, and I have since tweaked on the link geo, and I think it's working better now.

Are you running twin sticks Tanis? Or was that just some 4pk switch trickery i saw in there? You made a 180* turn with the rears burning backwards and the fronts digging forward...Very Nice...thought only the stickers could pull that off ;)

Sick video!!

Correct, rears were locked up, it's just that wall is so steep it let the front come right around.

I'm just running a regular setup for front/rear digs with a punk dig unit and my React with a 3 pos 3rd channel Turbo ;)

I went back and watched it and it really does sorta look like I'm doing a dual dig with the rears going back and fronts forward
