I still swear my BMVII was the best straight up climber I have ever ran.

I bought this one in original form. Took the wheelbase out to 12.5". COG isn't the greatest, and I made it worse by raising the chassis off the axles another 1/4" to accomidate a BTA battery tray (7cell 2/3a saddle). Tall tires probably do not help for this either. In the video you can see the wieght shift is flattening the rear tires/foams. 14oz rears (tires+foams+weight+wheel), 16oz fronts. It's def not a comp rig, but still my main runner for GTGs and fun to see the different lines it does over 4links. |

Those indoor carpet/couch courses will really tell you how a rig will work on the rocks....  |

The carpet is actually a pretty good simulated rock climb, as the carpet was woven from rock fiber with a lot of toyofast back hair for binder. If you look close you can see the blond flecks mixed in.  I heard TCS and RC4WD are considering marketing it. With some recent improvements (what you can do on a TLT BMV rig) I am curious to get into Battlefront [Grand Rapids] indoor course again. A soaking of WD40 brought some life back into the dried out Lizard-claws | |
