Default First (ish) attempt at a trail / crawl

Would love to hear feedback guys.
This is shot running around Dartmoor a few weeks back.

Looks like a lot of fun! Are those 2.2 BFG's on method beadlocks? Sounded like you got some ture rub on the body; can be fixed with bump stops on the shocks or by raising or cutting the body. Also a wind muff for your mic would help the sound; if you are using an internal mic then you could try a cotton ball held on with scotch tape. Beautiful scenery but it looks cold! Did you bend the steering rod yourself to clear the Scx10 ii diff cover?

This is Haytor end of Dartmoor. I basically spend about a hour a week looking at Google satellite of the area and head for the grey bits! Not done princetown area yet but the place is so damn vast it'll take a lifetime to see even half of it!

Thanks for the cotton tip, I'll be sure to try that as it's always damn windy up there!

So, those are 2.2 Hyrax on SSD's with CI foams.
MIP driveshaft, the extended version which clears the spur housing. Near perfect fit.

Just re-read and realised you were asking about steering! Nope, that's the stock kit from boomracing "Phat" axle kit

Nice video. I live in Plymouth and pop up to to Shaugh Bridge or Burrator a fair bit. Not done much video yet though as I either forget camera or just dont bother.

Cheers M1tch. Shaugh Bridge looks a good spot, I'll have to check that out.
Ordered a rear mirror phone holder which I should be able to attach to the TX to use as a phone camera mount so might get more regular on vids in the New Year as farting about with the current tripod is a PITA!
