Vasquez Rocks RC trail run-12.28.09

[Themicles]

Older video, so I'm hoping you still see this... I'm in love with that white Jeep. Does the owner have a site or anywhere I can get more info on it?

[MitchHooper1]

What frame is the blue ford riding on? Nice vid

[pantablo]

Thanks MitchHooper1. The only blue rig in this video is a Chevy Blazer (with the white top) and is on a Axial SCX-10.

[Saisachi]

wow thats nice video you got there! ahm i have a 4x4 off road i buy it here in the philippines and its toyota model year 2000

[pantablo]

Thanks Saisachi! Your 2000 Toyota is a radio control or full size?

[davi200]

Monster Kid at 3:28.  LOL!

[pantablo]

aaagggggghhhh!!

LOL...

[carwashnwax]

Where can I find one of those 4dr Toyota bodies

[pantablo]

You can't. I made it.

[Morongotongo123]

Amazing shots ***** 1:10 beautiful view

[pantablo]

Thanks Morongotongo123! It is amazing out there. at 1:10 the angled pointy rock on the right, pointing up to the left, is *the* Vasquez Rock.

[jeepmeat13574]

Mate ! That was cool love the old YJ too the red hilux does work pretty damn well too man !

[pantablo]

Thanks jeepmeat13574! The red hilux? You mean my orange crew cab? Yeah, its not bad. The old YJ is a cc-01 kit with a 2:1 reduction. Works great.

[pantablo]

lately it rolls more because the RC4WD Mud Thrasher tires I have are super soft, so they fold over quite a bit when I'm side hilling. Check out the still at the beginning and look at the front tire.

[pantablo]

Thats nice to hear. Probably iconic simply because its been in so many videos, lol, like my red rover sport.

[EcBuddy123]

i guess all thats true and yeah, for real the rover!? l0l i didnt see it, and its ur friend but can quickly backstab cant it? l0l

[EcBuddy123]

who doesnt? (i wonder...)

[EcBuddy123]

yeah but i guess tats wat makes it especial

[EcBuddy123]

yes yes it does... but it always does it in style, being a roll over or differently haha

[EcBuddy123]

haha ok, the only downside to the yota might be tat its so long,

[pantablo]

The long wheelbase actually helps quite often. its one of the main reasons I started building crew cabs-for the wheelbase, lol. It can high center if I'm not careful though and the turning radius sucks, lol.

[EcBuddy123]

haha the chevy is cool looking but he yota is still a cool truck man

[bayareaaxialcrawler]

killer video bro 5/5

[pantablo]

Thanks bayareaaxialcrawler! I appreciate it. Glad you liked it.

[trudenmike]

an awesome video again! how long do you drive from home to Vasquez Rocks? An amazing area....

greets from germany :o)

[pantablo]

Thanks trudenmike! Vasquez is about a 45 minute drive on the highway (freeway) at 80(ish)mph. Thats for me. For most others its farther but a few are closer. 4RUNN1, the owner of that sweet white 4runner lives 10 or so minutes away.

[trudenmike]

45 mintues are ok, I'm driving round about 30 minutes into the sandpit.

[pantablo]

For me, Forest Falls was 1 hour 40 minutes though! Its different for each person that comes. Corona Del Mar (CDM) for me is 60 minutes. Marina Del Rey (MDR) for me is 15 minutes...

[trudenmike]

Wow, you've so much area's where you can drive. :o)

[pantablo]

We're very lucky.

[EcBuddy123]

awsome as always, yota needs some body work l0l

[pantablo]

Thanks EcBuddy123! Yeah, its looking a bit haggard these days. Abused and put away wet mostly, lol.

[EcBuddy123]

haha yeah but good vid and build non the less

[pantablo]

Thanks. I'll keep driving the 'yota into the ground, until I am forced to refurbish it. Until then I just spruce it up once in a while with a little paint on the tube bumpers and repaint the roof, lol.

[EcBuddy123]

hahaha doesnt look like too long from now, but yotas are built tough l0l

[RCSCALECRAWLER]

Sweet!! I wish I could have gone.

[pantablo]

Thanks RCSCALECRAWLER! Small group but we had fun. I hadn't been back to Vasquez in a while.

[trashvid]

THX for showing ;-)

[pantablo]

Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed it.

[STdemoniac]

nice movie = 5 star :D

[pantablo]

Thanks very much STdemoniac!

[nathan61984]

Nasty spill at 1:34 Love it.

[pantablo]

Thanks nathan61984! The Toyota took a beating yesterday, lol. Too many rolls. By day's end I broke off the bed tool box, the bumper off roadlights, parts of the roof (above passenger rear door) and a headlight lens.
