The way your buggy rides that final set of bumps is near perfect, you must have that suspension dialled.. it looks like the chassis stays pretty flat.. nice.. The 4x4 on the other hand... |

Could just do with the front turning in a bit better and you'd do 2 laps for every one of his

thanks for the comment guys, but i cant take credit for the setup on it, darrel jones (gizmo on here) is the guy i bought it from and i havent had to change a thing on the setup so far  and as for the turning in part, the problem i have with that is it tries to nose over on the right front so bad that it tries to lift the left rear off the ground when you enter the corners hard but it climbs great just like it is so i dont really want to change anything to mess that up |

Your run looked great, and I agree about your suspension set up over the whoops! Rock crawler clearly lets off at every jump or whoop. Pussy. |
