    You drove both courses exceptionally well mate, very proud of you. Ian is an excellent driver and a fantastic ambassador for Procrawler/Flatgekko but you made the most of the little Lowshido for sure. Gotta love a GCRC Caiman C1 chassis build. It's designed around the Element running gear to enable just this kind of thing to happen. It's always great to have you come over to BERCC, you're support is very much appreciated.
    Hopefully, we'll see you next year. Take care, Sean.

    Congrats sir ! It seems like crawling is your brightest side 🙂Crawling is underestimated by many hobby fans ços it is slow and boring . But all they're wrong. Crawling requires a bunch of skills, which not many of us have : On first place - razor sharp mind to choose thee right path thru the obstacles , to avoid roll offs, reverse manuvers, and at the same time to be fast enough on the coarse . Everyone can get a bully strong basher and make some donuts and noise on his backyard, or to speed up his rig to the limit and eventually crash it , but to be a good crawler pilot is a different "beer"🙂 Well done mate !

    Glad you had a good experience with GCRC, myself not so much.
    Had a Treal gear fail after a few uses on my SCX6 and point blank refused to help or offer replacement, discount or contact Treal for me even after I sent a video of it breaking with zero abuse (I’ve since went back to standard gears and not had a problem) was definitely a manufacturer issue (I know Gareth doesn’t make them but was extremely disappointed with the lack of help) really wanted to like the GCRC brand but left a bad taste in my mouth.

    • @TomleyRC

      @TimsRcsurgery 9 місяців тому

      @@TomleyRC nobody was as surprised as much as me, to be fair, communication was instant, postage was essentially next day too. So Gareth’s service was impeccable…
      He had just sealed the deal with Treal (Wendy possibly, name slips my mind, I blame it on my brain tumour 🤯) I had big plans for budget builds etc to work alongside GCRC.. then on second outing with the overdrive front gearing for the SCX6 (all shimmed, video on my channel) the gears stripped (again, video on my channel) I contacted Gareth simply asking for him to reach out to Wendy in case there was a manufacturing issue as this was the first run of the gears. He refused to do so 🤷‍♂️
      Left a bitter taste as I was not expecting that reaction at all.
      It got my back up, I took the hump.. Pity really as I’m an avid crawler fan and would have loved to have worked alongside him.
      I had sang his praises prior to this.. and to be fair it’s the first time I’ve spoken about it since… (was almost 18 months ago)
      Maybe I got him on a bad week, I just felt it wasn’t his call to decide on the quality issue I had and should have been forwarded to Treal.

    The chassis you put on the crawler looks great and performed really well. The course built by the group looked great. I was trying to picture the effort it took to build the rocks you were running in Class 2. Getting all those big rocks in place took some real effort and thought. You drove exceptionally well. I know nothing about crawling, but the short wheel base seemed to be an advantage. I see more and more reviews that give positive grades to the Element line. You should feel great about your win. Congratulations.
