Looks great! Those iroks look good on there!

 

[JimmyJam]

Super cool my friend!!! THose new Iroks are SO FREAKIN BIG!!!!! How does it do on hill climbs?

 

[Bulldog]

The build looks killer. I'm still debating the new iroks. I loved the swampers on there. Your boxer is beautiful. There's one laying next to me right now. Very nice build!"thumbsup"

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. I've pretty much parked my 1:1 and just want to rc crawl whenever I have free time.

JimmyJam, it does pretty good on hill climbs. It'll climb any rock ledge I throw at it, at just about any incline. We don't have many long dirt climbs, but the few we've got, it goes up them just fine. Could use a 'lil more power, but i've messed with the suspension so much it finally drives the way I like it to.

Bulldog, I loved the way the Swampers looked and more importantly they performed excellently. The Iroks keep up, but I feel they require a 'lil more wheel speed on some obstacles, although the added height does have its advantages.
I love my boxer, Layla. She enjoys chasing the crawler, and I enjoy chasing her away. LOL

Thats awesome Chief!!! Im using a Tekin Pro4 motor and it has more then enough power to handle all the ledges you've been throwing at this buggy! I see you live in CookTown so I hope we get a chance to crawl together sometime! Are you going to ECC this year?

Actually, before your post, I hadn't even read about it. I am now in the planning stages to go. It's not really a far drive, so I'm definitely gonna try and get out there. Should have 3 trucks with me, I'm starting a 1.9 build using a new bright land rover body on TSL's hopefully tonight, and I gotta put a new BEC in a 2.2 '34 Ford Truggy I just picked up. :ror:

JimmyJam, we also go to Fall Creek Falls atleast twice each summer and spend the whole day crawling. We usually crawl up the big falls trail, then go hit the nature trail. Look it up, some of the sweetest scale crawling around!
I'll definitely let you know when we start to plan a ride down there. If theres anything going down around your area, lemme know. I can prob get atleast 3 or 4 of us out there.
