Default nitro crawler not?

two months ago i brought a x factor 2 or in oz a rampage as there called here. now starting of not knowing any thing about rock crawling set up a track in the park down the road from my house with a rock section that takes about 20-30 seconds to get threw then you go flat out threw a flat grass section down in to a rocky gully then up a steep difficult hill with tree roots and dirt ruts then back on to grass and around you go again. with the flat fast sections your truck has time to cool the clutch and motor. then i find this web site and it says iam not a rock crawler because i use a nitro. yes i know it will never go close to a electric purpose built crawler ( yes i do want one) but i have the most fun i have ever had with a rc car and i have raced both on and off road nitro and electric. maybe the nitro guys could use a track like i have described with rocky sections and fast sections to cool motor clutch etc .maybe we will need to come up with a new name for it as every time someone says nitro and crawler togethor they get shot down . does anyone have a good name for nitros that climb rocks
