My new trail designed to push the RCs to the limits and see what they can do! With a bunch of cliff edge obstacles and large vertical climbs I named it Ibex.

Nice video.... . I use to like longer wheelbase trucks myself, but after having run them for quiet awhile with several different variations I've come to realize 12.3 is the perfect size length,. 12.3 length along with extended wheel hex & or wheel spacers for a a little wider stance is perfect setup. I can't count the times I've seen crawlers bellied out on objects due to the longer wheelbase & the 12.3 with closer wheels go right over it. that little difference in length makes such a huge difference in performance that I now run all my vehicles at 12.3......👍🏼

I'm working my way through your library. This is my favorite video so far, you have to try hard to crawl well at the risk of losing your cars, and I have both of these. There's sand stone here but not very common or close to where I live so your choice of tires is very different.

Your rigs are sweet ! In my opinion go back to the 1.9s on both rigs that lower them back down and not so much weight up hi I have both rigs also my capra will go about anywhere I like driving the Gladiator more but my Gladiator will pull the sidehill lines yours wont only because my center of gravity is low on both . Sweet place you have there to crawl 🤘

For me, on the Capra I’m just not digging it due to the looks. Part of my enjoyment comes from scale elements of the hobby. I like to balance scale and performance, but more scale looking wheels and tires (tread pattern mostly, I don’t mind if they’re a touch big) bring me more enjoyment.
