Crawler Canyon Presents: State of the Canyon (01/26/24) Shop tour! Course Tour! Tradition!

[@Quitmotorsports]

Streaming on KZbin is pretty easy. But only 6.5k subscribers…..who isn’t watching this guy, and WHY?! Awesome setup, envy the course. Wish I wasn’t 3k miles away or Id definitely try and come check it out.

[@Cameron2874]

Dude that shop with all the rigs, spares etc and then just walk out into that epic course is what crawler dreams are made of. A video of one of your rigs going around the whole course would be great to see

[@marksaxton4760]

Looks great 👍 I would love to put some stickers on my rigs! 😄

[@jammer2150]

Damn the shop has gone thru some major changes since you posted pics of it from back in the URC forum days, wish I had the time and organizational fortitude to deck my hobby shed out like this, I am a clutter magnet and it usually just ends up looking like a pile. Good job on your hobby garage, looking awesome👍💯👍💯👍

[@davidconaway2830]

You have a sickness.......the best kind. Love this channel and the content!

[@Glen-jm61]

The course is awesome! The lights make it look even better. I would rock some Canyon stickers on my crawlers, all 10 of them.

[@FaithSaraG]

A welding table! What luxury! The Canyon looks lovely at night.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

No more welding on a plastic folding table! We movin' on up!

[@tommyhogye6068]

That is an awesome garage! And STICKERS! Sweet!!

[@rcvalley8706]

I’m fairly new to the canyon and have patiently been waiting for a shop tour! Once I seen your garage machinist skills I knew there was cool stuff to see around there!

[@meirdeaph]

Incredible how it gets more an more amazing there daily 🙌🙏

[@tylerbrown6215]

cant wait for night time crawling videos

[@texasavage]

Thanks for the yearly tour. What a dream! Amazing!

[@davidwatlington3737]

Incredible place you have, kinda stirs up a little envy lol. Love stickers, would proudly display Crawler Canyon on all my rigs if I had some!

[@HVT03]

Man, the Canyon is AMAZING The lights at night look really cool, hope we get some night crawling when the weather allows it. Just imagine crawling at night around the new big pond when its finished, that would be perfect Also, if you end up doing the streaming part, it would be interesting for sure (the only problem would be the schedules, depending on what time of the day it is, some people from other countries wont be able to be there)

[@BrandonMythigander]

I would absolutely rock some canyon stickers on all 4 rigs 😎

[@Andrew_Red]

What an amazing transformation of the Canyon in the past year! I really love how the lighting turned out😍. And great idea with the stickers. I would definitely love to get some😁

[@justinferrill8583]

The “I ❤ Meth” sticker is priceless 😂

[@meirdeaph]

😂😂

[@jackhando5465]

Your shop is envious...What a wonderful thing you have created. Just WOW. What a great video.

[@garyp4046]

Sorry for the off topic question, but do you have a video of the stand you spin at the start of each video? Thanks for your postings I love your channel!

[@derrickhays3627]

Wow the Canyon looks so different since "The Grand Tour" it looks awesome, wanted to plant an evil little seed in your head, what if you strung some shade clothe between light poles in the areas you use the bucket chair! give you some relief from the angry summer yellow orb and still let in light🤔, Jolly definitely needs copper wheels. Maybe you could sell the stickers with the shirts I'd buy some. as always thanks.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

I've talked to the wife about shade cloth in the past, and she made "that face." I think I'd still like to put up a small section right where you said, in the section I'm sitting most of the time. Of course, then I will constantly worry about the wind.

[@derrickhays3627]

@CrawlerCanyon I get it happy wife happy life but I think they make it in various degrees of block so maybe some airy to help with the wind?

[@pariah7843]

Naming your obstacles after old school mastodon songs 👌🏻

[@6oh8rc48]

Love the stickers!!! Who wouldn't want a CC sticker on their rig!!! Take my $$$!

[@WebRC2023]

Would love to put some stickers on my rigs in Canada. Looking good!

[@1aview]

Good to be back

[@MidwestRCcrawler]

What an incredible set up you’ve got! From the shop to the course, envy is what comes to mind! I’m sure that’s taken a min to get to where you’re at. I’d love to be able to run my rigs on your course.

[@BrandonMythigander]

I could see a vacation to the canyon. 😎

[@machinedred]

❤ stickers Can I get em to UK ?

[@neildaniels5443]

Looks fantastic at night ❤

[@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

Awesome Park you have build there...wow 👌

[@meirdeaph]

Tire foams for better acoustics, brilliant 👏 😅

[@rccrawlingaddict207]

Excellent tour of the shop and canyon.....thanks!

[@Rombo-86]

I would also love to put stickers on my rig 😊💪💪

[@Detour_RC]

That course is amazing brother. Your shop looks like mine in my dreams lol. Thx for the videos keep up the great work.

[@TyJoe_N_MattyMoe]

I dig those stickers. I definitely need some for "Tangerine", the Canyon Underdog build that you helped me start with a VS410 chassis and "bag J" VXT tires/wheels.

[@Rombo-86]

Love to see all of your place 😊 thank you for this video 💪

[@Team_ReVolt]

Wow, wow, wow! This is such a lovely place you have there! As well indoor as outdoor. Does Jolly Green have UD/OD?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

He does not. Might actually help the turning radius a touch, so I might have to try to remember that. The AMK gears work and are cheap enough...

[@timothyharris9709]

Awesome set up you have there!

[@stevesocransky6341]

Sir that is one epic shop, you are obviously diy talented. I’m a new subscriber , and have a dedicated bedroom shop as well as a few water and surface rc items. My goal is a backyard crawler and construction playground as well as the shop to support these activities! You are an inspiration for sure. I’d like to see: some of your must have : tools, storage ideas, featured in video shorts nuts n bolts ideas behind your crawler course Thank you for your efforts and contributions

[@NTX_RC]

JG looks real good on the black wheels, imo. A little more militant.

[@SivartCustomRCs]

Yea buddy, I use aquarium filter on most tires...there's a white one as well that is super soft that I use for my 24s

[@g-man329]

Seance they are off center just send me a few. I would be honored to put one of my crawlers

[@g-man329]

I would love to have 8 each And I would be glad to pay for them

[@johngookinsable]

NEEDLE AND SPOON my friend

[@DHFHades]

I like the Mayor Poopenmeyer in the corner...lol

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Close-- that's ol' Diamond Joe Quimby.

[@mikesullivan6699]

Jolly Green needs to be converted to a dually. You’ll only ever go straight, but man would he look cool…. I need Crawler Canyon stickers!

[@JMWPREMIUM]

No no no my friend you can do this much much easier for yourself you mentioned having the cricut hopefully it's the maker 3. I actually do stickers and rc body wraps clear coats for scratch proof rigs etc... take those rolls you got cut them in 12 inch pieces depending on width if there 4 inches wide cut them 12x4 sections peal them stick them in your 12x4 section on white or maybe black vinyl sticker paper send them through the maker and cut them out yourself and when you peel them it will peel up your clear and your white layer together and stick them. Bam lol there is some other ways you can fix them up as well.

[@jamiejck]

Im in absolute awe of everything Crawler Canyon. Wish i had the space to build and the wife that would let me. Here in the south east corner of the UK its all flat mud. We have a handfull of places to go. Whatching the Canyon has inspired me and my son to build some lcg trucks that are capable. I've even bought a 3d printer and designed my own 3 stage foams. We would be made up if we could add some Crawler Canyon stickers onto our creations. How do i go about getting some?

[@g-man329]

LOL he is better than a lot of rigs with both foams

[@smokingwraith9990]

Hey, Thanks for the shop tour. I have a comparable low ceiling shop with an open joist ceiling. Old school stereo and bicycles to boot. I will undoubtedly steal a few organizational ideas from you. Your maximal use of the space you have is impressive. Makes me realize I can yet make even better use of what I currently have. You have inspired me! What more can a fellow human ask for... Dust Control?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Man, the room for a dust collector and the system to go with it would be AMAZING. I have a centrifugal blower on the table saw, and just open-blast the dust outside through the open door when cutting. For the chop saw, I have a big shop vac with a cyclone separator before it, so that helps. Everything else just fills the building with sawdust.

[@jason87d43]

If you are going to build your own pond. Check out the pond guy Greg Woodstock, the pond professor, and team aquascape.

[@billtruett8593]

Wow those axial shocks when you first pull them up to the camera they reminded me of the old xxx losi shocks if I remember they were a 100mm also.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

They do have a very retro vibe to them. The color of the "hard" anno is the exact color of the Losi and AE upgrade shocks from the 90s.

[@northernlightsrc8994]

I get the Ted lasso funkos But tbh my first episode I thought Ed helms 🎉 😅 I assume you never plan to move . Hypothetical...perfect situation you were offered to move. Do you take it all or leave it 😂🤔 That task tho

[@vb9300]

yes sir...addiction is shining through

[@imnotaspoon151]

Are you serious! Crawler Canyon stickers I would love to have one for each rig :)

[@LumpkinMumfins1]

Canyon to’ twenty-fo’ 😎

[@nicholasstephey8475]

That does a great job at night. 24hr de canyon ???

[@birkenstockresouler]

Great Video, thanks for the tour. For a 6x6, what would be your thought on creating a lift mechanism for the rear axle similar to the Redcat COE?

[@Callahangonefishin]

Shop and course look fantastic! I'm going to have to figure out a stand for my Sendero SE. After my super soft tire upgrade, it can't sit on the ground, tires smoosh straight flat in a day, lol. Cheers

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Yeah-- never leave a rig sitting on the tires. The foams/inserts don't like it. I think the 4" yoga blocks exist at the intersection of cheap and convenient.

[@Callahangonefishin]

Thank you Sir, I was wondering what those were, will be picking up a few. Cheers@@CrawlerCanyon

[@TheOtherSock-728]

crock pots for chain wax.

[@sprather84]

Man, I need to find a good foam to replace the web foams in my halos. A couple of them are starting to disintegrate that looks a little bit thick, but that blue looks more like the same thickness. Can you help me out with a product that I could use, and by the way, this is the best channel ever to watch so informative and your wit is right on par with how stupid I think I am

[@CrawlerCanyon]

So you need to replace the outer part? It's reticulated polyethylene, aka fridge foam or aquarium/pond filter media. Finding the fridge foam thicker than ~8mm is tricky, and finding filter media that is either not too thick, to dense, or the worst-- carbon impregnated-- also a bit of a chore. You can also "disassemble" dollar store hair buns to get a suitable thickness. A little firmer, but gets the job done. If I read it wrong and you mean the inner part, the inner foam from the Timtin dual-stage on amazon could be cut to fit pretty easily.

[@sprather84]

@@CrawlerCanyon halo foams from ottsix the inner white piece is fine, but the black PFE is starting to disintegrate on a couple of them

[@AnySumptionBanter]

need a drone to do a good course tour. you can sit somewhere, talk, and have the drone film and go thru tunnels, etc. btw, what was that figure in the dark?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

As there is a firm 0% chance that I'm going to go look back through the video to see what you're referencing, I will instead sit here and there was no figure in the dark, there was no figure in the dark...

[@MasterApeFPV]

My girlfriend would fall in love with you if I would show her your workspace… mine is a mess and is literally just a 60x60cm space at my desk. 😮 And she haaates the mess I make 😂

[@archerash6695]

Geeezz man.. I have one VRD and Im saving for a trail truck. I dont know how you do it..

[@CrawlerCanyon]

They breed. Once you get into chassis swaps, gearbox swaps, etc, the next thing you know you have half the parts needed to build another one. Throw in some AliExpress/Amazon axles and suddenly 3 rigs have turned into 5. Then there's a dozen, then it feels like a rig avalanche.

[@chrispearce9224]

Sent you an email about shipping address. I have a set of tires I'd like to donate to the Canyon. You mentioned in a previous video that you'd like to test these, and I'm not going to use them, so they need to be put to use at the Canyon. EDIT: So hold off on that Tire Testival for Jolly Green!!!!

[@liljoeg38]

Feel free for creeptrap to get a sticker installed

[@Toodles77]

Jolly green makes a lot of noise! Has to be ur loudest rig

[@CrawlerCanyon]

He's definitely a contender.

[@Rc-Adventurers]

Dang how much land do you have and how many years have you been building

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Thanks to the widening of the street in front of the house, we went from 1.0 acres to 0.89 acres. The total portion of the property allocated to the canyon is roughly 80' x 110', so ~8,800 square feet, or near exactly 0.2 acres. I started building the first obstacles at the mid/end of 2020, but didn't start building until the summer of 2021.

[@chrispearce9224]

What stone are you using on your new grinder? Looks like a sharpening stone instead of grinding.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

It is indeed a sharpening stone. For the lathe tools, when I take a long enough moment to put a proper edge on them .

[@tylerbrown6215]

Michigan is a real place and it sucks. cant wait to get some stickers

[@BrandonMythigander]

It’s not awful here 😎

[@tylerbrown6215]

its been wet for 2 weeks and I haven't seen the sun sense X-mas lol@@BrandonMythigander

[@Toodles77]

OMG! How many tons of rock u think u have?🤣 That has to be years and years of collecting!

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Material brought in is past 80 tons at this point, and that doesn't count the concrete and mortar I've mixed myself.

[@inreckae]

Random question, why don’t you use 850mah packs instead of 1500 they’re like half the weight

[@CrawlerCanyon]

I've retired a number of 1500s in favor of 2200s. I have a few of the 850s in 3S and 4S, and it's just not enough. I can tool around all afternoon on a 2200, while an 850 gets maybe 30 minutes. And in the case of BOSOA rigs, I'm not worried at all about battery weight.

[@inreckae]

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Why, that's right here!

[@twilliamrc4wd]

what gun is that

[@CrawlerCanyon]

The shop is littered with an assortment of "not actually guns," from the array of paintball stuff to an all-metal airsoft MP5, to an Adventure Force Nexus Pro dart blaster that shoots shorty foam darts at 150fps.

[@slappomatthew]

whats up with the random asian gal sticker ? Also I am in San Diego. just say when and Ill come crawl with ya. :)
