lol yeah I wasn’t expecting that. It has been below freezing here for two days and I had been driving around on it no problem then that happened. Glad I got it on camera.

Haha that’s exactly what I was thinking after I recovered it from the water lol. Thanks bro.

Yeah bro the Spartan chassis is incredible. Once you get it tuned in and a good driver at the wheel it’s unstoppable.

Thanks 😆

Thanks bud! You are going to love the Spartan chassis. It is the most capable rig I’ve ever seen. in the hands of a skilled driver it’s deadly. I’m a CL Designs team driver and if I can help in anyway let me know. You can DM me on my instagram page with any questions you may have. For the type of comps I run Capra axles are to wide but will definitely increase the overall stability and sidehill performance. I use a smaller version of the slider and I modified it to work better with the batteries I use. If you have enough space to not use the sliders that’s fine too. I could’ve crammed everything up on top of the transmission but I’d rather put the battery down lower on the slider.

@@HighLineRC thanks for the info dude. I don’t have social media outside of YT so a comment on a video here and there is how I do things if questions are needed. I have a couple other custom builds. My POIZD T3v2 is ridiculous. I figure the spartan chassis is close enough in comparison for breakover performance that it should make the feel similar. But all chassis’ have a different feel. I’ll find another video to comment on if I have more questions man. I appreciate you getting back with me. 🙏🏻

@NewLifeRC989 yes sir you are welcome! If you are interested in any RC crawler competitions and are in Georgia let me know. We are about to start up our winter series next weekend at Stone Mountain.

@@HighLineRC thanks for the invite dude. Located in MI so that’s prolly a hard pass. I just got everything assembled the other day. Put some Inverse positive offset wheels on my Capra axel rig and it narrowed it about half an inch. I’ll have to see what kind of challenges occur with gates set up. Might end up getting some F10s specifically for this build. On a positive note, it was putting a couple lines that my POIZD t3v2 wasn’t able to do cleanly. So far, I’m digging it.

@NewLifeRC989 Oh yeah that wouldn’t make sense lol. I’m sure y’all probably have groups in your area that run comps.

Thanks 😊

Yes that is an amazing spot! We are blessed here in north east GA with som great places to crawl.

Thanks bro I really appreciate it. I’ve had this servo for almost a year now and have put it through hell and I haven’t had a single problem.

@@HighLineRC jus ordered mines litterly 10 mins ago and ur video was a big part of it...thanks so much ..keep it up

@@josecanseca8979 you welcome and I’m glad I was able to help. Just a tip incase you are not aware, be sure to physically disconnect the battery when not in use on all direct power servos or you could burn it up or damage your battery. Good luck let me know if I can help with anything else.

@@HighLineRC oh once the trail run is over the whole lipo is outta there..and the dual in line xt60 connector...im good with my lipos and storage charging so fr so good...should be here by thursday cant wait

Thanks Brother! I haven’t posted much In the last month or so but I’m currently working on some new content that I’m hoping to start dropping soon.

Yeah there are some extremely talented drivers at these Crawlmaster comps. Some guys make nearly impossible gates look easy. That V notch gate was a good one!

Yeah It sure does CL designs knocked it out of the park with this thing. I can’t wait to get it together and on the rocks.

Me too! I haven’t ran since the last Crawmaster.

Thank you! That was a rough one.

Me too bro I hope they do several comps there this year.

It’s definitely changing and rewarding especially when you build the truck from the ground up. Get one you will be hooked.

Haha 🤣 oh I do way too much I think my wife is jealous lol.

Yeah it sure does it’s been swimming several times lol. Well if you are ever in the north east Georgia area hit me up and we can do some trail runs. I love those CJ-7s I will definitely have one someday.

Thank you it is definitely relaxing.

Are you talking about my black Phoenix truck?

Haha just wait until I get the rest of the scale stuff and rear rack mounted. It’s going to be sweet.

Thank you! People seem to like this one for sure it’s my highest viewed short.

Thanks bro! This Base Camp is definitely not a comp rig but it surprises me all the time.

Haha yeah that was a crazy hard comp.

Unfortunately no I do not remember what chassis he was running but every truck gets inspected before the comp to insure they are in compliance with the Cralwmaster Shootout rules. I do know Derricks truck has a forward skid, it’s extremely light and has a chopped up stage killa body. It does look different form some of the other rigs but it was definitely within the rule set. If you really want to know what chassis he was running I can probably find out for ya.

The second run was with the RS500B. It is substantially better that the stock servo was. If it is defective i wouldn’t know because I don’t have anything to compare it to. I’m still running this 500b and I’m happy with it and it was a big improvement over stock.

I appreciate the comment and input. I’m pretty sure the dead spot was from some extra play in the stock servo. It would move slightly before catching. It was probably defective in some way.

Thank you very much! This truck started out as a Vanquish Phoenix so when I painted the new cliffhanger body I decided to pay tribute to that. I will check that out thank you!

Thankfully our local comps don’t use SORRCA rules. Any tire 5in and smaller are legal to use. I have the Megalithics and the 1.9 Ruptures, I believe they are the best preforming tires available. Thanks for the view and comment.

Haha it would have made for a better video. Thankfully everything is waterproof.

Appreciate it! That was a good one for sure.

Thanks bud hope you enjoyed the video !

💪🏻

You’re welcome and thank you for watching. Mountain Adventure Outfitters is an amazing place you should definitely make the drive down. Info for M.A.O. Is in the description. Thanks for what you do for the hobby. I really want to go to one of your comps this year.

@@HighLineRC Awesome Bro 🤜🤛

@@bigheadrc thanks again!

Roof racks. They serve a couple different purposes. 1 they look cool, 2 they help protect the top of the body when you roll over, 3 in some comps you can install a roller/barring in one of the holes and use it to run your winch line through to have a different winching point/angle. Thanks for watching let me know if you have any other questions.

@@HighLineRC THanks for the answer. Cheers

You’re welcome!

You are correct, In the Crawlmaster Shootout series there are no penalties for reversing. This is a very unique comp. It’s completely different from SORCA in almost every way.

...It is about time, drivers are not penalized for reversing, cuz it doesn't happen in the "real 1 to1". 👍👌💯 I think a lot of RC people are gettin' sick of SORRCA's funny rules !!! 🤔... - Do you agree...!?? - Thx. !!! ✌️​@@HighLineRC

Yes I would agree. I personally have never ran a SORRCA comp but everyone I talk to loves the way the Crawlmaster Shootout comp series has been put together. It allows for a ton of freedom to build you rig how you want but still keep things constrained within reason. It also showcases driver skills. The gates are generally more difficult than a normal comp gate.

✔️

Thank you! Yes this comp series is all about driver skills and builder freedom.

Thank you! I have spent many hours on this thing trying to get it right and it’s finally paying off.

I just love the low tire pressure on the rear tires. You can see it helped on that last mountain.

@@DenFromRio yes it definitely made a huge difference. I was using 3brothers anti foams, soft in the front and duel stage in the rear with custom made 3d printed shims.

Thank you sir!

Yeah it did I didn’t think it was going to be that difficult to climb that first set.

Was a hard to mis gate. I thing most hit at least one.

Yeah it was rough, I don’t remember anyone in our group making that first gate clean could have missed it though.

Yeah buddy that was a fun one.

@@HighLineRC oh I'm sure 😖 but at least you made it look easy

It didn’t look or feel easy at the time 😂 I was kinda stressing about it.

Yeah he did awesome on that gate.

Is this a vanquish vs4-10 body?

No sir I believe the body he’s using was from one of the original scx10 trucks. It’s extremely old.

Yes sir, it sure is a wonderful hobby and thank you!

Yeah that was a good one thankfully I was able to run it clean.

I’m assuming this comment was in reference to obstacle #4. That was a lucky landing and it did look like a cat😂

Yes sir it is an amazing spot I still haven’t had time to explore the entire area, it is massive. You could probably craw at Stone Mountain Park for months and never run the same line twice.

Thanks the green rig is my baby. That servo shimmy will definitely get you out of a bind sometimes thankfully it worked out in this situation.

Thank you for subscribing I really appreciate it. I’ve loved RC since I was a kid but just discovered rock crawling last year and it has me hooked for sure. Stay warm up there I will do my best to keep the videos coming to keep you busy until the snow melts up there.

Yes sir I do. I have allot of the guys in my group and all of the shootout. I will be posting the videos as soon as I have time to finish editing them.

@@HighLineRC ok awesome can’t wait to see thank you
