New JConcepts Corvair + Autumn Hills & Valleys = Skill Challenge

#jconcepts #corvair #rccrawler
I you haven't watched the build for this JConcepts Lakewood Corvair, check it out: • NEW BUILD! Matt's Reco... . Here it is at home in the woods like a bear on its first full-fledged trail adventure. No surprise, as this chassis & tire combination was under my FJ Landcruiser for a few years. But the new body introduces some quirks. Being so narrow, the blue station wagon can slip into tight places, and the sleek profile helps keep the centre of gravity low. But to make room for those Tusks I had to build a very stiff suspension -- the exact opposite of what I prefer -- but that's half the fun. And that air-cooled rear engine also takes some getting used to (just kidding). Let me know in the comments section. Cheers and thanks.

Nice trailing

[@MysticRiverRC]

Wow! Awesome looking truck, and those woodlands are beautiful! Well done.

[@NaturallyRC]

Thank you very much, MysticRiver. You're right about the local forests being beautiful. So fortunate to have them. I have subscribed to your channel and will be checking out your films.

[@RcNickster709]

Yes sir. Hitting the terrain pretty hard out there and looking good doing it. Nice run. :)

[@NaturallyRC]

Take it to the limit, as the Eagles used to say. 😁

[@CactusCrawlersRC]

Gen8 Corvair trails great! That blue really stands out against the background!

[@NaturallyRC]

Thanks. I chose the blue to stand out against a giant blanket of pure white snow, and I'm slowly getting used to the look of it in the forest. Also getting used to the jarring sight of a family station wagon doing dangerous stunts LOL. Cheers and thanks again CC.

Man I would love to get a small group sesh with you one of these days every time we go out there’s so many people I don’t really get the chance to crawl with you lol. Awesome video man!!!

[@NaturallyRC]

That would be cool. Last time was so fun. Winter runs when there's two inches of snow are a blast. Slap on your biggest meanest tires and floor it. Cheers and thanks.

[@artofboost]

@@NaturallyRC lol I can’t wait to experience it should make for some really nice footage 😎😎
