Default Losi Mini Rock Crawler Video at local course

Here is some video of me piloting my Losi Mini Rock Crawler at J&C Hobbies Raceway Rock Course in the Pittsburgh Mills. You will notice some missteps in my path selections. That was operator error, but for good reason. I was actually driving with only my left hand and filming with my right. Also, I didn't realize this until later, but the servo saver screw was getting looser and looser. That is why you see 3-point turns. Once I turned the camera off, the servo saver popped off! D'oh! Time for a full size servo sans the saver.

I love this course, and the owner just got another one! I plan to keep getting into the crawling competitions as I have really taken a liking to RC crawling. I am in the process of building a 2.2 crawler also.

Looks good despite problem with servo. I was amazed at how steady the camera was while you were performing double duty.

Thanks guys. I was slow on the uptake with RC Rock Crawling but I TOTALLY GET IT now. It has gone from being off my radar to being at the forefront for my RC activity.
