Hey Guys i aquired some rocks the other day and it is pretty simple but I love driving my F350 on it since I dont have any other scale trucks to drive on it (yet) anyway I love it hope you guys do too. :crawlers::crawlers:

Truck's looking great! Your rock course is nice also. You can add obstacles other than rocks like, bridges, logs, etc. that are easier to re-arrange. The High Lift can be a good crawler when properly set-up. You already have 1.9 Flat Irons and Beadlocks and I'm sure you have the diffs locked for 4 wheel posi traction. There are a few parts out there that can make it an even more capable rig out on the rocks. Here are a few suggestions.
Softer leaf springs. http://www.rcrockcrawling.com/product_info.php?cPath=60&products_id=819
Tera flex type rear leaf shackles http://www.rcrockcrawling.com/product_info.php?cPath=60&products_id=1000
Clocked tranny unit http://www.rcrockcrawling.com/product_info.php?products_id=1006
These parts aren't required for crawling. I'm just suggesting a few parts that I bekeive could take your F-350 to that "crawler" level and retain the scale look.
Good job on your truck!
