Climbing Around Old John Tower With The Marlin

The Marlin gained its first battle scars today as it climbed around Old John Tower in Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. Apart from a swap to a HobbyWing 1080 ESC on Saturday (I was getting low speed shunting on the original) its as it ran last weekend. A quick check of all the bolts before the run, I met up with a mate who was having his first run with his not yet finished LC70 Crawler.
The weather started out cold and damp, but by the time we had mucked around on the approach to the Tower, it had brightened up and was considerably more pleasant. Overall, a good run with the rigs, it was interesting to see how much the leaf springs bedded in over the 2 hours running - I may have to put the helper springs back in the rear as the tyres seemed to spend a lot of time in contact with the arches!

Looks a great place and definitely a sweeeet little Marlin. What's all the hullabuloo about leafs not being good for crawlers? Seems fine to me. A

Thanks man, its a great place to crawl - just a shame its the thick end of an hour away. The leaf springs took a beating (quite literally), a follow up video required!
