RC Crawler Competition Stage 1

St George RC Facebook group put together a low key competition. What they thought was going to be 10-15 drivers ended up as 47 registered drivers that got their turn at both courses. Which is awesome!

I’m probably too laid-back to get into competitions - never been to one, but it’s fun to see what they’re all about. Great video! 👍✌️

[@fossilhade9873]

Crawling is always so fun

[@nicholasstephey8475]

Like the commentary of the runs

[@Bussolini]

Great vids! Watched both stages and I really enjoyed the insightful commentary during the runs. also having both your and a friend's take on the course :)

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Thanks, it’s fun to see how everyone has their own lines through the same course

[@HunterTravels]

I am just getting into the hobby so this talk Thru was neat!

[@hideinplainsight1048]

I think using reverse is essential for safe rock crawling. Sure it’s better if you can do it without but I like not having a penalty as well. It leaves you open to feel like you can take the optimal route without sacrificing points.

[@jamesduncan2719]

That Capra is something to recon with

[@jeffsrcchannel2191]

Great looking cars, could watch this all day.

[@31195]

Awesome locations, Im likin the play by play!

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah me too, slow and control crawling is my favorite what a awesome place I would love this, but I live in Michigan too far to go appreciate you sharing as always love this video I’ll be watching more

[@buddahGump]

Nice drivin. Better than I could ever do.

[@hks_rcs]

wow awsome video mate!!

[@travis4man]

Great job! Driving and with the video!

[@TSully2013]

Excellent video beautiful terrain and well set up comp looked like alot of fun for sure

[@RoadsideRC]

Great comp overview! i really need to get out that direction for crawling - it is like you are in a different world compared to what we get here in TN. Subscribed!

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Thanks man tons of awesome terrain out here, you make some excellent videos!

[@nates.6464]

Nice! Looks like a fun course. Great commentary also.

[@AnanFakheraldin]

Man your videos are fire!!! amazing :) i would have loved to see more drivers on the same stage :)

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

I definitely understand that, but the video would get long really quick. Next time I’ll grab a few more clips to throw in! Thanks for watching

[@KTMcaptain]

I noticed you guys are running the stock skid. I swapped to a STH skid and it's made a drastic difference to clearing obstacles. I'm also running a rear link riser on my rear steer axle and carbon fiber beadlock wheels. I use to run heavy brass rings on generic 80gram metal beadlock rims for side hilling, front bias, and keeping torque twist under control. To my shock, running lighter wheels has really reduced the torque twist because it takes a lot less torque to move the much lighter rig, the side hilling isn't really impaired with the suspension setup I run, and it still has enough front weight bias to keep the front end down especially with the rear anti squat link riser. . The skid was a huge difference. Before, say crawling a curb, the skid would force the body up higher. Now the CG of the body is lower and it doesn't want to lift and the front end stays nice and low. I did need to take a dremel to the skid to reduce overhangs and bits that catch like the rod ends.

[@KTMcaptain]

I know those squeaky driveshafts anywhere. I use gun CLP oil on mine. If it can keep my firearms operating smoothly in dusty conditions then why not some RC universals. Also good for removing dirt.

[@BROtheBRAWLER]

keep on doing your videos, all of them are awesome

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Thank you!

[@The_Phill_A_Blunt]

I wish there was a rc version of the ripsaw🤙

[@sirbeck58]

1st off, subscribed! 2nd, how did I end up finding you again in another hobby?!? I followed your shooting channel for a while. You were a big part of the reason I picked up a Uintah Precision upper!

[@scalebuildersguild]

These rocks are incredible! Definitely feeling a little jealousy from here in the Great White North!

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

I try to take full advantage of the terrain both with RC, SxS and rock crawlers. Luckily the rocks down here are warm through the winter.

[@rccrawlingaddict207]

It's always easy from the passengers seat....lol!

[@rcstumpjumpers2049]

I know this is late but my question is .... can I run 2'2 wheels as long as the tire is only 4.75 tall? great job. love your style and videos. You approach with a common sense driving skills. looking for competition here on the east coast. where is everybody? will i need to come out west? competition is fun!

[@Prototype_celsius]

Dude where is this place? It’s looks amazing for crawling lol

[@mryoy1263]

Bro that's where I live XD let's go St George

[@matthewkroneman8589]

Great content keep up the work I love it 👍💀💀

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Will do! Thanks for watching!

[@fromfin90]

rubberband on the stick i curious, too light car ant it will hoist you up? we got similar system for scale classes 1 and 2, but the vehicle has to have its own winch

[@Okaley576]

Awesome capra brotha, i want one. Soon I'll have one. I wanted to ask though. As far as size on the tires, do you like the 2.2 better than the 1.9 size? I was thinking of upgrading the size once I got mine but wasn't sure about that. Much respect, congratulations on an awesome capra you have!

[@weedfaya959]

Super vidéo et voiture très réactive, qu est ce qu il faut améliorer sur le capra pour avoir un comportement pareil ? Merci

[@everythingoff-road6637]

Love these videos I wanna see you get a trx4 sport

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Now that just might happen, sooner than you think!

[@dr7269]

That was awesome would love to be able to afford one of those

[@dr7269]

@@murrijuana2842 not for a toy car but would be cool to have just dont have the money to spend on something like that

[@mycrawler2955]

RC CRAWLER DISEASE 😅😅😅

[@odomandr]

I think i capra class would be a solid class

[@carlosancinez9116]

this is awesome? what crawler would you recommend for beginner but good enough to get into comps? Thanks

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Scx10 2, element Enduro or Traxxas TRX4 sport

[@rileylowe8039]

Where was this area located? Looks like an awesome place to crawl at and I need to find some new spots!

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

This is st George Utah

[@tippedbacktj8492]

At 13:19 did you say "Dont be cody wagner"?

[@kellykuretich6366]

😁😁👍👍

[@relichunter1092]

Whats the white Capra @

[@davidtodd4035]

How do you find out about these competitions?

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Facebook groups is a great place to organize stuff like this. It’s the only reason I use FB

[@pavelack]

Is he not running any springs on those shocks? is that a thing?

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

He is not, I guess you would call it a droop setup but his skid clearance is really bad and it drags on everything. But the low center of gravity is great

[@jettthomas9453]

where r these rocks????

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Utah

[@jamesgreeder7187]

Great video and I loved the commentary. However I was losing it at the people working or assisting in the event. Kept walking in front of the car slowing you down, putting the winch in bad spots etc… There should be a silent policy. Yes it’s just a fun comp but it’s still pretty annoying to be hindered by anyone other than yourself.

[@djodjodubois9458]

De vrais pro N ÉTULISE PAS DE TREUIL..TK dans vrais vie t'en voie pas utilisé sa..dans du madding oui mais du crawler non sauf si sont RÉELLEMENT COINSSÉ dans un troue et remettre les autre sur les roues

[@FoxRacingGaming]

Not going to watch a video where you just say whats going to happen next every second. No point in watching. And just complaining about ppl trying to help. Ignore em. Its not highschool.
