WOW!!! Absolutely 100% impressive. You my friend, not only talk the walk, you WALK THE WALK!!! That is SOOOO Hard to do. Not only competing, but being filmed for a huge audience, HATS OFF!! The only question I have is, where was the wheelbarrow to carry your set of Elephant Balls? To top it off, miserable, wet and cold weather, making the course that much more difficult. I'm sure that some contestants made it through the course before the rain hit, making it much more difficult. All part of the game. Outstanding driving, fantastic build, what more can I say; subscriber for LIFE!!!
Good driving brotha. People always try to rush at a comp. Nice to see you kept your cool and slowed the pace for the gates.
I just purchased a Deadbolt for my 10 year old son, we'll see how it goes on December 8th!!! Nice videos Harley
Great to see a running video of your rig. Looked like a fun event despite the nasty weather.
To bad about the winch line ,,jammed up,,, fun playing in the rain ,,Great vid ,,thank you Robert
Nice job Josh. Deadbolt budget truck did good man. Nice driving. Thumbsup
Wow. Great to see all your hard work on the upgrades really paying off! See what you mean about bumpers and things getting caught up. And if you hadn't lowered the body there's no way you would have got under some of those overhangs! Great driving!
you'd thought I was running it the way I was on the edge of my seat and all
I thought I ran some tough trails I guess I haven't seen anything as there were some tough lines there
thanks for sharing so enjoyed it

Great driving Harley, way to stick with it!
Wow! Really impressed with how well it performed. I've been looking forward to some running video. :)
Nice driving, looks like it was pretty challenging in some spots!
Good driving! Now on to your budget comp crawler build...;-)
That had to have been a fun and challenging run
I would suck in a crawling competition. I'm not use to any of the rules. That's a beautifully setup truck though. Makes me jealous.
lol this was actualy fun to watch. great vids!
great video
This is a thriller!!!!
I'm not convinced that this performance justifies the money spent on mods and upgrades throughout this series? I'm betting a bone stock Deadbolt wouldn't be far behind in terms of capability. Either way, still a very informative series of vids. Many thanks.
I was just there yesterday for a local Scale Adventures
great footage !!
wow amazing skill rc driving
I'm into RC's and I tried to compete in a scale comp once but I didn't have any fun because everybody was focused competition and not really having fun. Great sport but not for me
Sounds like you need to find a group crawl instead. Those are more about driving through the woods together vs. competing against each other.
Patrick Benfield Exactly why i don't compete.
Hey I made it in a Harley video, well filming a Harley video. Lol Your first spotter was Eric113, BMuzz was still judging at that time.
Damn it! I thought I wondered if I had t backwards!
I thought it was hot and hard!!! verry cool
I noticed that the free spool mod on your winch came in very handy!
It also looks like the ToyZuki motor mount helped out ttemendously.
How did the UNIMOG do?
I realize this is an older video, but how did your transmitter take the rain? I was considered swapping my 4PV for a DX5 Rugged because I wanted to use it in all weather conditions (plus the 5th channel for other crawler stuff if needed).
if you want scale RC, then you need to find something to attach the winch or not use a winch. that would be the realistic way...
+MrMrsregor it's typical to either attach to natural objects or other trucks. But this location was just too monolithic to find natural attachments.
I live right next to there.
Last weekend was the Scale Nationals, people from all sides of the country came to compete over 4 days.
what was that winch point stick a dowel or broom handle
Swwwweeeeet !! Love it,
nice path. the water seems not helped !!!
Who is princess cupcake??
you need to put softer foam in the tires
Softer foams would reduce sidewall stability and create poor side hill performance. This is a dual stage foam setup. You can find more info on this through Crawler Innovations.
Harley Designs it would just seam like you would have more grip with softer foam
Softer foams allow the tire to conform to the rock surface better, but they also allow the tire to fold-over when the truck is leaning sideways. There are always tradeoffs.
I have a Telluride trail-truck build that uses Badlands SC tires with soft open-cell foams in them, and that truck side-hills really well because the truck's center of gravity is lower than it looks and the short-course wheels don't let the tires fold-over. My Wraith stomps it in terms of forward traction, but is more likely to fall over when side-hilling because it has such tall soft tires.
Cool
What kind of tires were you running they seemed really nice are they the stock tires?
Those are 1.9 Pitbull Rock Beasts
What battery is best for use with stock version of the deadbolt? Great videos!
Sam Wilton If you want a bunch of run time, just get a 5000 mah lipo (2s probably for most people) and have fun trailing for 2-3 hours without having to charge. I buy batteries through Hobbyking most of the time.
Thanks
How much run time should I expect to get with that same motor
+Desiign Vortex depends on your battery mainly.
should i buy one of these and do all these upgrades?
it's quite a commitment to perform all of the upgrades, not so much difficult as time consuming. I pick and choose based on what I am going to expect out my rig versus time and money.
I'm about to get mine but I'm ordering alot of upgrades and stuff with it
Did I mention that I was "Clenching" so hard that I had to pause your video to pull my underwear out of my Butt?
Is this at red rocks?
Yes it is.
I think the saying goes: talk the talk, walk the walk...sorry
Serious diehard!!
Is there anyone that has u4 chassis's for sale ?

Thanks
i hate timed comps, no fun in it at all, the goal is to have fun. not race. it is for points after all
David Bobo It takes driver skill and active strategy to drive timed comps and it replicates the full size world. Keeping tight time limits makes drivers think on their feet, it's always interesting to see how drivers are able to control themselves.
horrible cheaters using the winch and the dude controlling it is blocking the way
If winches are allowed in the rules, then it's not cheating.
you could of told us that winches are allowed
Trudging around in the rain goes against the very ideals of rc'ing. Can't your effers just relax & not turn everything into work? Cool vid anyway. Better you....
We didn't drive half way across the country to not compete, most of the scale rigs built at this level are waterproof anyway.
Trudging around in the rain is a woman's problem. Unless you have a nice hair do grab your nuts and be a man you will not melt.
Also I have many teucks,cars,etc etc but somehow in this hobby I have never been Rc'ing. Is that a class or what lol
+jado6006 more rain means more mud = hella fun
