Glad i caught this video. Im running the three gear transmission with a 1200kv Fusion and 11t pinion on SCX axles and was thinking of switching to Capra axles but i definitely wouldn't have any wheel speed at all. Lol
Hey TT, wazz up. Yeah, put an 18 tooth pinion in it, too. LOLOLOLLL.... Excellent thoughts about the Capra : you can add some gears up and you will have a great crawler. I almost forgot about all the fantastic companies that offer thousands and thousands of pieces and parts for your RC
The first qualifier up North was a great time, thanks for making the trip up!! Had a great time judging, filming, and running around on the rocks. Can’t wait to keep them going and see everyone out at the finals! I wish I could make it to yours this weekend, but I’ll be hosting another event at little Moab as well 😂 gotta give the people what they want!
I definitely want to give comps a try! So much to learn, still, but going to give it a shot. I will say, geting a lot out of your videos, really a great help! I would love to come down from Canada one day, do some wheeling in Utah! 👍
Nice truck & nice terrain. That’s the beauty of RC you can do it by yourself for hours & also with groups buddies or at events. If you can make it to any RC events I highly recommend it. I went to my first Pro Line & man what a good vibe & overall event.
Can’t wait to get out to this comp series! My Capra build is getting close to being done! Got some stuff going on the weekends of both the first comps, but as long as 1 out of my 2 rigs are done I’ll be at all the rest! As long as I make it to the championship at least!
I'm doing a similar build with my Element and Rock Pirates. I went with the new Creeper cab only body and rp sliders. They have well thought out products, imo.
Those mods you're doing look and are working great. That skid plate mod looks great. Keep up the good videos. Could you make a video with all your 4ws vehicle's on the most popular trails you found so far?
The trx4 is a great trail truck, and needs some mods and upgrades to crawl well. I would recommend an Axial Capra if your wanting to get into crawling without spending to much on mods and upgrades. Can get it with 4ws too
@King420man King420man I have an ecto and trx sport, both with 3800kv brushless motors, and I have broke more on the trx4 than the ecto. Plus the ecto climbs steeper and side hills better than the trx4. The only place the trx4 does better with is ground clearance due to the portals. I’m usually climbing the same type of terrain as this video, so I don’t always need portals.
Hey Logan, always enjoy watching your videos, I like how you talk about what the suspension is doing and what to do to make it do what you need it to do, wow that was a mouth full. Anyway how do you like the Desert Lizard shocks and how do you have yours set up? Thanks again for the great videos!
Tell me about the rear shock tower brace please. Also- I have a bone stock 10 II Raw Builders Kit(13 tooth pinion w/stock axle gearing currently) and was seriously considering the AXE 550R2 3300Kv combo. You mentioned that you would like more wheel speed and that combo should provide plenty of speed. I'm thinking if the 3300 on 3s is to fast I can always go with a smaller pinion or larger spur. Any input on the 3300Kv idea? Also-I enjoy your content(even the TRX4 stuff lol).
Hi @westdesertwheeler What pinion gear teeth count are your running with this current setup and are you running OD in the front? If so what %. Thanks for making great content. One of my favorite RC channels to watch.
Picked up some rock pirates rc stuff for my scx10ii cliffhanger build cause of your recommendations and seeing it in action. Love their stuff. I also got some desert lizard shocks just in black. You got any tips on set up? I got it sitting how I want but I feel like the drop into holes is a tad bit too slow for my liking
The guess the OG UTRCRC (aka the UTards) are no longer an active group? Bummer . They where OG’s back in 04-10ish when I dropped out of the crawling scene for a bit.
Hey I actually have 2 questions.... in regards with this rig - what drive shafts are you running? standard axial wild boars? Also would it be possible to run Capra drive shafts? Also, what did you use as a support base for the Rock Pirates flat bed? I have a Capra builder's kit that I think I'll raid and build the same as your rig....since I already have all the Rock Pirates parts on another rig :) Luving the content Logan !
Us northern crew are waiting and ready for you!! Lol should be a great time!! See ya Saturday👍🤙
3 peaks in cedar city Utah is where its at! Great terrain
Thanks again for your reviews on the Rock Pirates gear...got mine all set up nice with skids from them.
Awesome video as always bro. The pirate wagon is looking awesome. Can’t wait to crawl with you guys. See everyone in May!
Same here guys!

I’ve actually run a 1200 in the setup and it was beyond slow. At full throttle it was in slow motion lol
Good choice for the new color scheme, looks great! I'm planning on doing maroon and grey for my cliffhanger body on my scx10 ii rock pirates rc build.

Liking the colors I’m in the middle of a rock pirate build, I’m up north would love to come crawl
Awesome Rig!! - I run Rock Pirates gear on my Element :) Luv the SSD black bead locks - suits the rig/dusty conditions. very well
Wish we had cracks like this.
Your builds always look awesome and they perform that way too!!! Thank You for all the great videos!!!!
Thank you!
Thank for the video.
I definitely want to give comps a try! So much to learn, still, but going to give it a shot. I will say, geting a lot out of your videos, really a great help! I would love to come down from Canada one day, do some wheeling in Utah! 👍
I love my rock pirates rc parts I agre Logan great parts and look amazing as well!!
Thankyou! We’re glad you like them 👍🏼🏴☠️
AMAZING VIDEO AS ALWAYS SIR. TRUCK LOOKS GREAT LIKING THE NEW COLOUR SCEEM. PREFORMS GREAT WITH THE ROCK PIRATES UPGRADES ☠️
Nice video! The truck update is lookin good and neat to hear about the comp setups.
Nice truck & nice terrain. That’s the beauty of RC you can do it by yourself for hours & also with groups buddies or at events. If you can make it to any RC events I highly recommend it. I went to my first Pro Line & man what a good vibe & overall event.

Excited to see you out there man!
Digging the new look. Hard to beat capra axels. Your drive shafts are saying feed me some oil lol. Try the belt drive. Super quiet.
Too much sand, no oil it will stick and destroy them
@@westdesertwheeler Awe I see. Maybe some graphite power?
What springs do you have in the desert lizards ?
Man I love to get chance do your events! Sounds like going be amazing comp you guys be setting up!! Can’t wait see it! Going be epic bud

Which trails do you mean ? The Risk and Mouse trap? Pretty sure I have
I was thinking about the IBEX,Sydney and the trail you and your friends did a few videos ago. The trails with some real cliffhanger obstacles .
Hey it's Dingdong!! LoL. Sorry...I just watched your spare parts truck video. Had me rolling at that intro.
I would love to, but I'm way too far! I can't wait to watch the comp on your channel!!
Hey I'm looking to get into crawling do you recomend a trx4?
The trx4 is a great trail truck, and needs some mods and upgrades to crawl well. I would recommend an Axial Capra if your wanting to get into crawling without spending to much on mods and upgrades. Can get it with 4ws too
I like my element ecto better than my trx4 for crawling. Out of the box the ecto does a lot better.
@King420man King420man I have an ecto and trx sport, both with 3800kv brushless motors, and I have broke more on the trx4 than the ecto. Plus the ecto climbs steeper and side hills better than the trx4. The only place the trx4 does better with is ground clearance due to the portals. I’m usually climbing the same type of terrain as this video, so I don’t always need portals.
Have tried all of them. And we could not be happier with the scx10ii and the element enduro chassis. I would choose either one of those two chassis.
Hey Logan just wondering what springs,oil and pistons your running in the dessert lizard shocks thanks.
Hey Logan, always enjoy watching your videos, I like how you talk about what the suspension is doing and what to do to make it do what you need it to do, wow that was a mouth full. Anyway how do you like the Desert Lizard shocks and how do you have yours set up? Thanks again for the great videos!
Get the tgh high offset wheels to make it narrower
I’ve seen them, not sure I wanna do that for this truck

That’s bad ass. Got a stock Capra. Wanted to put some dessert lizards. What size Would you recommend. Great channel just started to to follow you. 👍🏽
I got 90mm lizards on mine. Does well
Thank you for the info.
I just ordered shock towers from rock pirates
Thankyou🏴☠️
Hey nice build! Which wheel size are rolling ? Trying to get there on my own but went too big with 2.2s 😅
Hi @westdesertwheeler
What pinion gear teeth count are your running with this current setup and are you running OD in the front? If so what %. Thanks for making great content. One of my favorite RC channels to watch.
Thanks man, I believe it’s a 14T pinion and 11% in the portal gears. Thanks for wy

Speed of drop is oil. If it doesn’t drop its springs
What shock tower brace is this in the rear?
Rock Pirates X brace
How wide are the axles. I just put Laegendary 1/8 axles on my scx10. It really wide.
What spec of truck?
The guess the OG UTRCRC (aka the UTards) are no longer an active group? Bummer . They where OG’s back in 04-10ish when I dropped out of the crawling scene for a bit.

How do you make that rig have such a tight turning radius?
Love the content!
Setting end points to turn as far as the axle will allow
