RC ADVENTURES - Do They Work? Rock Crawling Tricks - RC4WD Genius Tires w/ Ballistic Bead Locks

Click to Subscribe! ► - Welcome to my backyard rock crawling course. On occasion, I hold events here.. so I thought I would practice it up today. I have been rock crawling for 6 years.. and by no means am I a pro. But, I thought I would turn on my camera to capture some of my thoughts - and so I can review my performance.. If any of them can help you too.. then it's an extreme bonus!
I have mounted up these new RC4WD 2.2 Genius Tires on Ballistic Bead Lock Wheels - and they are sick. I want to test them on the rocks, so I am using them on my (now discontinued), Axial XR10 Motor-on-Axle (MOA) Rock Crawler. This truck was built as a kit several years ago, with upgraded hardened gears, suspension links, and little else. I am running a Dual Tekin 35t Brushed Motor setup, with dual ESC's. The Radio system I am using is a Futaba T4PX.
The tires and rims were quite expensive for me. I am in Canada, and go by CAD - but usd - Tires: $60 (for 4) Wheels - $140 for 4. Plus shipping & Tax.
As mentioned in the film - there are multiple sets of rules for Competitive RC Rock Crawling. One set of rules that is very popular are located at the following link: I believe a poster put these on my RCSparks forum in the year 2012, and are a variation of the old "" - but this site link (usrcca) is now "closed"
RC Rock Crawling is a technical, but wonderful challenge! I have many rock crawling videos.. and I hope they get you excited about this part of the hobby!
