i decided to take the scx6 and the ecto out to fagen branch for a little solo crawl. no ol the weekend of mudding wasn't enough.
i also wanted to test out the scx6 on the trail.
it sucked lol
the factory tires are total garbage for my muddy life. it just slipped and spun and squeeled. oof those bearings and driveshafts need some lovin
so after about 5 mins of fails i swapped trucks lol i learned what i needed, also the truck is 2x as fast in reverse. thats annoying.
but the Old Man?? heh he showed out still
i have been wondering which truck to drop the reefs in i sorta knew it would be the ecto but now I'm sure., that thing is a tanks. mines more lcg than trail ready and it just dont care lol

they need maintenance in a MAJOR way
squeeky squeeling the whole trip

I'm wouldnt say I'm disapointed ith it at all, just that i need good tires like any crawler, the trail is a great size for the rig once I've put a little time into it. its been monsoon weather here lol so it got started at a real rough time.
i need to grab a new set of tools for the 6.
i love it and once i get the stuff thats currently looking at me thrown on its gonna eat that trail while pulling a trailer lol

That mud stresses me out.!
it washes off and promotes maintenance day lol i can crawl over dry stuff anytime, butt the muddy days dont comeoften enough so i try to enjoy them, shoulda seen the btc mud lol, that was ankle deep soup!! the bronco handled it well, only died on me once, shes cleaned up waiting on her next day to run,

like @CertifiedMike said lol, you clmb up vertical walls lol
i actually said that out loud in my last video
"@MVRCA would have crawled straight up that lolol"
Me too, but that's because I hate maintenance.
i took the scx front axles apart, brocked driveshaft, siezed bearings lol, its on the bench grounded for awhile
i threw some blue jam in the axle and swapped some stuff around
