Default BJv4 63.5 degree vert board

This is straight off the build table, so happy with the run. 1st run was slow n steady, 2nd was just straight up the board easily and beyond - the beyond is what caused the flip, that plus my reactions were quick enough to get it into reverse!

RTR it's 5.1lbs, target was 4.9lbs when i built it so i could add weight in were it was needed. Happy with the way it is right now though, so the extra few oz out of the box worked out ok

That's good! You realise that someone will try and beat that now don't you?
Whereabouts in 'England' are you?

Does this count as 360+ ??? Not quite a vert ramp but more than 63.5* or that pesky Moonbuggy!

I dont think it's considered "thread jacking" when the OP participates!

Seriously, VC, you've built one helluva nice crawler! I REALLY dig the paint scheme...
