Default Moonbuggy Practice

EeePee gave me the video bug, so I took the new camera to a practice spot to film a few lines with my Rockshow Moonbuggy.

I'm using Nova's Ark's foam in the Rovers and the video gets some good shots close up of how they work.

Near the end of the video is a line that I have been trying for a year. Not the Axial, the old Rockshow, or the Losi ever made the line in hundreds of tries. My entire attempt (and success) with the moonbuggy Rockshow is in the video. Be it the new chassis or the foams, something was hooking up .

The camera is new, and I'm still figuring out all the settings. I saved the video as widescreen but I think Media Player adjusts accordingly. Quality is better than my old vids, but it still ain't HD

Holy cow you are awsome at driving I hope someday I'll be as good as you. The last looks really tricky what was the surface made of (the line that has never been conquerd)?

5 minutes... had to keep the quality up
You can stream it.


It's all granite and limestone partly polished from the river. The hard line is pretty steep with little step ups. That's what makes it so hard.

Thanks

Goforth creek just before the raft put in. Great place for a comp if there was more parking.

Really cool vid Harvo That chassis is looking really good to me. Can't let you one-up me, hmmmm.....I proposed to my wife at Goforth creek. There will be a lot more parking now that the river isn't running. Maybe a small laid back comp?

Nice Video . Looks the rig is set up well. Is it a light rig, around 6lbs?

Nice! Your rig looks to be pretty light weight from the video. What does it weigh?
