Default How to improve climbing capability

I stumbled across this video and found it entertaining. Demonstrates most of the offroad climbing improvements we often discuss.
Tires, gears, CG and even wheel base.

That means a couple of things for me;
1. A 4dr climbs better!!
2. I went to the 2nd motor by installing the V8. Can justify the modification now.

Awesome vid but somehow I don't think the real world is portrayed here.

Amazon just sent me an email asking if I really placed an order for 500 feet of double-sided 3M sticky tape............


Of course I did.....

Yet another benefit to running fenderless.....being able to crawl upside down if you can find the right obstacle.
