Landscaping the Shady Shoe because it was brutal

[Reezo]

Hey everyone!

So, the Shady Shoe was somehow doable when roots and moss were there, but the more the rigs climbed it, the more sand came out and, it was just brutal! Zero traction, very steep... so I thought I'd give my landscaping vibes a go... I hope you enjoy.

Well planned and executed video as usual and a good idea for erosion reduction with the terracing. Nice job.

Thanks! I've been at it today as well and my Honcho (not me, the Honcho ) kinda rolled a log out of place, trying to climb it. It's just an impossible hill at the moment, there is zero traction as the sand is so light and fluffy. But it looks cooler and it's a bit easier to walk up go it, for 1:1 humans.

I've completely abused the Honcho today as well so it's a testament to its durability and sturdiness. My setup works, so far the electronics have held good (temperatures easy in the 100F, today) and I'm not, I repeat to myself I'm not, going to push it further than this.

The shocks articulate nicely and feel great, maybe when I had it planted in droop it was performing better but those tires not dropping down were a tad unsexy to look at. I might just ease the preload and let the whole thing sink down a bit, and call it a day. I don't want to lose the good feeling I have, when the shocks articulate. It's called TRAIL Honcho for a reason albeit being very capable.

Tests passed!
