[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 374843, member: 1780"] [b]Re:[/b] Anybody can drive over a rock crawl course fast, it's whether or not your rig will hold up by the time you get to the end. You can drive fast enough over a rock crawl course in a 4 banger to bust your drivetrain all to **** if it ain't built right..... so you have to have axles, t case, driveshafts, etc that will keep up with your driving style, not so much motor. Thus meaning if you are already running bigger tires, your junk is probably built for them and take more of a beating, being faster than those with smaller, weaker drivetrains and smaller tires. Example, my Toy buggy 22r on pane with IFS Toy rearend/FJ80 front goes head to head with BJ's (bamatoy) rig Toyota buggy with 22r on pane but has tons under it, on a rock crawl course. Basically same engines and dual t case set up, but he will be able to beat his rig way harder and bounce over rocks that I would have to drive a bit slower across, so not to break my birfs, rear axles, or gears. So he would be faster. Same scenario with my rig against a cherokee on D44's and 35's, I think my junk would hold up a bit better, likely to have better suspension with more travel, and beat his time. [/QUOTE]
