steephill Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Did a few more bits to the crawler course yesterday. It's hard to see from the pictures how steep some sections are. I'll get some more videos up. I've added a few really nasty side hills and climbs from a big chunk of rock sticking out of the hillside. Should be fun tyre testing when it's dry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Wow, that looks epic! Gonna be some brutal testing on that section 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should of got a video of the Trx4m kangaroo struggling on it. Good fun though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Yeh but to be fair theres a fair size difference tween the scx10 and trx4m tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 That looks really steep, the front wheels were struggling to say down at times. Stiffer foams/inserts in the rear, or raise the rear end a little, or more weight over the front? All of the above? So many options for tuning the setup and seeing the effects of those changes. I’m well jell 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m well jell 😂 Yeah mate it's steep. I wanted something challenging for the lcg rigs. That's running pin tyres and stock foams. So inserts in next. They should be a huge improvement on the steep climbs. I love it how you have to fight to find grip and keep the front end down. That's running semi droop shocks. I could try slightly stiffer droop springs or full droop. I much prefer the semi droop setup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Did some testing today. The scx10 pro did pretty good. Running the injora pin tyres with stock foams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 That made it look easy mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 It dealt with that without even breaking its stride. I really like the 10 Pro, it’s a great rig to drive and so capable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 @Andy-Roo I'm well impressed with the scx10 pro, very good rig👍. Here's rusty with capra axles, running ruptures, this did very good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 doing well on course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Here's the 10 pro with Injora S5 xhx pins and green inserts. These tyres are very grippy the inserts are working amazing, the added weight gives a lot of stability. I really like them so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Those tyres and inserts are working well! The 10 Pro is the RC equivalent of a mountain goat 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steephill Posted July 2 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 2 Been doing a bit more to the crawler course again. Testing before I cement it in. Some of this section is ridiculously steep so it's hard to get the stone on. I've had to use plugs and screws in places just to hold it while the mortar goes off. Got a really nasty side hill, I've tested it a few times. At first it was barely driveable. I think I've got it pretty good now. Just have to wait for it to dry. It's pretty much on the tipping point most of the way across. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Done some more over the last few days. I've got a tunnel for the mini crawlers and bridge section. I've had to cement that in and leave it to dry before I can build on top of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 awesome mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Wow, top work there, you’re really taking that too the next level. Literally! Your course is starting to make Exocaged Joe’s course look small 💪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Thanks @Stormbringer @Andy-Roo The badgers stayed off my wet cement last night.It would of been quite disastrous if they'd have tried crossing my bridge, they no doubt beel on it at some point. I managed to carefully get some more in today. Having to wait for it dry again before I can get anymore on top for now. I managed to get a go with one of the mini crawlers on some bits. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-Roo Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 That’s incredible mate, my old back is aching just looking at the graft you’ve put into that. Bloody good work 💪 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
