ok, here it is. Not my best spot, just the one in my yard. Over the Rocks, around the boat and over the logs. Much more challenging than it looks though.



I'll get some pics of my "ultimate" crawling spot next time I go. Just a drainage ditch for a park near my house, but its filled with 2'-5' boulders and is as close to real as it gets.

in a way u need more ground clearance so u don't get stuck on high rocks it depends on if its top heavy or not if it is then ya it should be lower but if its not it looks like it would be fine! BTW nice truck im using some of your ideas and trying to build my own custom crawler.

Rocks? What are they? The closest crawling spot to me is a disused quarry, awesome but miles away from my house.
