MOA VS Shafty-What Unlimited Rig is Better? [North VS South Utah RC Crawling Championship Runs]

In this video, we’re following behind two very capable drivers in two very different but similar styles of rig! First, we’ll look at Talon’s run in Unlimited Class in his MOA truck. Then, we’ll jump over, and watch Cameron hit the same course in his Shafty rig!
Both drivers are highly capable, although both are newer to Unlimited Class trucks. These drivers have both proven their skills in C2 and C3-so, how will they stack up in Unlimited?? Well, thanks to the High Noon Hobby livestream participants who offered their opinions on what we need more of on the channel, here we are!

I wanna see Jake's run on that course,he whooped us all in MOA!

[@czebalaf]

Keep the moa and sporty content coming😎😎

[@highnoonhobby]

Can do!! Thanks for the feedback! 🤙🏼🤘🏼🍻

[@robgoffroad]

Interesting course! Do you have any video of the Class 2 course(s)? I'd love to see that.

[@AlecLangton]

Indeed! I’ll have that coming soon!!

[@AdamJohnSwenson]

I just got a shafty rig tonight! Haven't even run it yet. Great content. Cool to see he had a Fusion pro in that shafty rig. Hoping I can sandwich one into mine too. Thanks again. Great content as usual!

[@highnoonhobby]

Heck yeah, that’s awesome! Stoked to hear you’ve got a new rig to play around with, and those shafty rigs are actually pretty damn sweet-I always thought they were less capable than MOA’s but they definitely have their advantages! Enjoy and send pics! 🤘🏼🤙🏼

[@AdamJohnSwenson]

@@highnoonhobby - thanks, will do. Put a 78 chevy stepside body on it. Need to paint it. Also just got a stagedive chassis going tonight! that was my first build. So far, so good!

[@gibsonlife573]

Another great one

[@highnoonhobby]

Much appreciated, my friend! 🤙🏼

[@dustinrose6646]

Two awesome drivers!

[@highnoonhobby]

Agreed!! Both of these drivers put on awesome performances! I think with a bit more seat time, Cameron is going to be a menace in unlimited! 🤙🏼🤘🏼

[@evintacy7272]

I like these both ,,, ❤ Great to spot light this style! 😊I don’t think my wallet could add another class to build! Haha Hard to get to comps ,,,,but I hope to START to go down Key City hobbies ,,,about 3 half hour drive one way! Can’t wait let spring get here haha 😛,,,,, Same guys put on fall crawl think they have bunch awesome series and guys!

[@highnoonhobby]

Many thanks, Evin! I totally understand that-I know plenty of guys who are selling other classes to build unlimited class builds; I think mostly because of watching what these things are capable of out on the rocks. But hopefully we can get you out to more of them because I'm sure you'd enjoy!! Cheers, my friend! 🤙🏼🤘🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼

I’m w ya on the moa I’m gonna concert my Capra to a sporty.....but the bully’s just look so fun. I mean ultimately we wanna crawl the basest lines..

[@highnoonhobby]

They really are super fun to watch dominating absolutely incredible hard lines! That sounds super rad, though, you'll have to let me know how the conversion works for you! 🤙🏼🤘🏼

[@reprieverc]

Man shafty looks fun lol enjoyed the video brother. Hey what are you doing next Saturday? We are doing a comp at black rock for the minis if you want to hang out

[@highnoonhobby]

Much appreciated!! I'll actually be out at 5-mile this Saturday making content for a new channel that we have in the works... 👀 but thank you for the offer, I'm sad I'm missing it!

[@reprieverc]

@@highnoonhobby that's awesome man sucks you can't come but there's always more brother

At 3:20 the MOA did not progress gate 4. He should not be able to continue to gate 5 before making progress on 4. To progress a gate a front and a rear wheel must pass through the gate. In this case only the front wheels passed. A shafty driven car has constant drive for both axles, a MOA is electronically controlled so different loads on each motor of the MOA make it react in a different way. Yes, on some occasions a shafty drive car makes a certain gate easier then a MOA. Get yourself a MOA, they are a challenge to drive and you will learn a new set of skills ;)

[@highnoonhobby]

We actually do not utilize progress in our competitions-so because he tapped the gate (killing the gate and taking the penalty) he is able to move on to the next gate. These are our own rules, not to be confused with SORCCA or any other rule set. But good call out, thank you for the insight! As for the Shafty VS MOA, I’m probably biased toward MOA myself-they just seem like such a fun new challenge that is so totally different from what I’m used to running in C2 or even C3. I’ll certainly have to get one in the near future and you’ll definitely see more content of them here on the channel! Much appreciated, my friend! Thanks for the comment and I hope you enjoyed! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@progressive_rc]

@@highnoonhobby It's mode then fine for a local club to adjust their own rules. But then, if you are not used to the WRCCA rules (for MOA, Sportsman and all the other 3 classes), and you attend a international comp that follow the WRCCA rules you will be lost and for sure will make mistakes because of the rules used.... I think it's just easier to follow the international rules and then you are set on the right path. I already have my tickets bought to go to the USA for the WRCCA World Championship in Portland (Maine)! Can't wait until September!!! Hope to see you with a MOA soon! Let me know if I can help you ;)

[@logipunk]

man .... im still on a fence for which one should i buy, moa or shafty.......damn it .....great vid

[@highnoonhobby]

Hahaha both have their pros and cons-I think it comes down to what comps, if any, you'll run them in and what you're looking to do with them overall. For straight up performance, the MOA's seem to take the cake, but some obstacles are still easier in a Shafty! 🤙🏼🤘🏼🍻

[@logipunk]

@@highnoonhobby im new to this hobby and im planning to visit a comp site that is near me at end of this month ..... as of now i am leaning towards moa..... i made my 24 scale with fron and rear dig so i am having fun with it ... but mechanical aspect of shafty speaks to me as well....someone of FB mentioned that you can gear it so it almost drives like with a dig.....

[@Love2Wander]

Moa is a cool class but not for me.. cool channel

[@highnoonhobby]

Very understandable-my favorite part about this hobby is that it has something for everyone! Much appreciated, though! Cheers! 🤙🏼🤘🏼🍻

[@Love2Wander]

I'm new to the rc crawling hobby and love my Capra. Raced RC-10 back in 84/87 and missed it. Some day, we might try a crawling competition but for now it's just fun to get out and crawl. Stay safe

[@HUNT24-7]

I'm new to RC, what is a shafty? Lol

[@highnoonhobby]

A shafty is as close to an MOA as you can get while still housing the motor in the central part of the vehicle. It's called a shafty because it still has drive shafts! Great question, thanks for asking 🤙🏼🤘🏼

[@HUNT24-7]

@@highnoonhobby Appreciate the explanation, I'd have never guessed that! Really enjoy your videos with the voice over explaining the situation, really adds to the video, especially for new people like myself.
