Great pics oho, tempted with a bit night crawling myself🤔

 

I'd like to go for a proper night crawl sometime, but nowhere really local to do it to be honest, this little spot is okay, but quite severe and sharp rocks under foot, one slip by either of us could end up pretty nasty really.

I'd love somewhere local to just trail, but it's mostly crawling stuff.

Swap you any day! Loads of trail (zzzz) here but not enough Crawl!... 

 

And we'd get arrested down here if we went for a "Night Crawl"!! 🤣

Stunning location and photography, OHO. Would love to a spot like that local to me but all I have are trails.

I miss trailing though I've gotta be honest, if I had some really good trails I'd be all over another RC4WD build.

I think I am slowly turning into a redneck    

Limb risers added, new Holmes Torquemaster Expert, new servo, just testing out a 35kg Amazon cheapie for a change, got a Savox 1230SG sat in box waiting just in case lol, new winch, but the most important thing is of course the flag

It's nice to have the old beast on the bench.

You know what that flag just sets it off mate 🍻

I tend to agree, I've decided although this thing was originally built to perform good as well as trail and with a little bit of scale, I want to keep it as an accessory/scale rig... Still lexan I know, but meh  

I've got the brand new spare Enduro chassis sat here if I want to build something for performance, similarly I have the Capra too.

I shall be adding more crap to this in the coming weeks lol.

Making the most of my few last days off before back to the grind.

I hit the mountains again today for another little solo trail.

This 'mandatory' daily exercise is excellent  

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't touch this, it 'landed' like this

 

 

Dad spotted this, a perfect piece of snow/ice fell out of my wheel and even shows the little scale hardware impressions.

Our first time running in the dark, started in the evening and it eventually got darker, putting my rock lights to the test, they work great though.

@Oh How Original you mentioned in a previous post you miss trailing, what terrain would you class as trail driving? 

[Stormbringer]

Like hiking with your RC, not stopping in a single spot, just taking it for a walk, the terrain doesn't really matter, but stuff that's quite rough is best to make it a bit more fun.

Halifax isn't that far from me, but would have to wait until travel restrictions are gone.

This Power Wagon uses a small 1500 3s pack, because it's mounted in the bed, so I don't have to remove the body, but still get well over an hour or running with it, depending on what I'm doing.

We have some stunning trails around here, another great one is Ilkley moor, this has an area called the cow an calf very mixed trails with paths, rock and water, then there is my favourite rombolds moor still part of Ilkley

I am actually familiar with Cow and Calf, never been, but have heard some very good things about it.
