well i put the receiver back in the SCX to see if i could squeeze a few more degrees in. nope. 65 degrees is actually quite a bit steeper than 60. once the rear tires hit the board it flopped over on its lid. Quote:

I use the same basic setup and use sandpaper on the bord to make sure there is plenty of grip for the tyres, and then on the upper 1/4 of the bord i have put some 1/4 inch sticks across the bord to make sure the car can do a bit more while driving on a incline.

ok just got off the phone with Losi's service department. ive been waiting on a replacement CVD for 1 month now. turns out they've been on back order and are expected to ship in the next couple days. so i decided to put a stock axle in to give the samurai a shot on the ramp. 57 degrees |

| Re: incline test
Figured this would be a good place to put this instead of making a new thread. Let's revive it with your test videos also! Need to get some sand paper or something, tires give before any inclination of tipping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDFRMRQTRhY |
