RC MOA Rock Crawlers £100 vs £1000 - Can the FTX Ravine compete with the RC4WD Bully 2??

[@rcplaytime]

think if the ravine had better tires it would be much better, great test 👍 looked a tough course 👍👍😀😀

[@TimsRcsurgery]

I was going to swap wheels but if you do that then need to start changing servos, motors etc I’ve seen these things with mods carried out and they can perform, just thought I’d show an honest video, I just set the markers out and what you see is first attempt. I tried my best to get the ravine to crawl 😃

Seems like the tyres really let the ravine down a lot on those rocks. Great bit of fun and nice track 👍

[@TimsRcsurgery]

Tyres, ground clearance, centre of gravity, motors/esc and the servos. Great for starting out and probably ideal for woodland trails but just not cut out for this sort of thing without a lot of mods

It sounds like you need to lower it, put weight in the right places, make it more powerful and make it work

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@@RCs_trailed_outside_ 100%, I’ve seen these things do really well, but both rigs box stock in this video

Any update on the cantilever suspension

I asked Lee the other day, he just says he’s not had a chance to come up for air with work. The last message I got was “I can see the top of the hill now” So hopefully not much longer 😊

[@rdrc4586]

Hopefully not as I spent a lot of money on buying the donor vehicle very frustrating

[@TimsRcsurgery]

@@rdrc4586 i understand your frustration but it’s out of my hands, it really is unusual for him to be so busy, but went from seeing him at every race or bash session to not seeing him for months at a time. Hopefully light at the end of the tunnel 🤞

HOPE SO
