S10me, my son and I go to a lotta parks to wheel and we always take the rc crawlers, 1:1 trails make some good spots. Superlift Offroad park has a cool RC course near their pavilion. We had a KOH type of race at the Hog Wild Shootout last year. We were running ifs rigs with 2 speed transmissions. You would drive fast down the trail in 2nd gear and then you would shift down to 1st gear and crawl through the rough stuff. It was a fun style race and rig.
Kushkrawlin Im an RC addict for sure and i agree on the RCs helping someone learn to drive offroad, my 15 year old son is proof of that. That's a sweet rig your building what kind of skid plate are you using?
