And there you go, The other all white AX10 belongs to a guy I met last time I was out, I was running circles around him on almost avery thing we crawled, but mine is set up a little better, except for the fact that he has Losi Crawler Shocks but they didn't seem to help him. his truck was so loose that it was like a wet noodle, LOL but we both had a good time...:D

The next to the last pic is me doing the same climb from a different angle.

Also I have some video but can't seem to figure out how to make it small enough to upload and it is in Quicktime G3 format.:angry:

I am digging it, Curtis! Nice pics!

Any chance you can post the components that went into the ARTR? I still don't know which crawler to get and your info will go a long way to helping me decide on what I want to to. Thanks, buddy!

Man looks like lots of fun....I need to do some work on mine and get my ass out and find a good crawling spot
 
Quality is not great and it is hard to drive and record video at the same time but enjoy any way.

Thats an awesome spot for crawling! I like how every time he couldn't make it over something you came right behind him and made it look easy :stick:

Ya he definetly needs to work on his set up, LOL!!!! He is really new to crawling and he just through on a Grapler body, Proline Wheels, and some Losi Crawler Shocks, other then that his rig is a stock AX10 ARTR.
 
Looks like a good time for sure. Nice video work considering you were driving too.
 
Looks like you had a good time. I really like those wheels.
