Cross RC JT4 EMO - Can it Hang with a "Cheater"?

#crossrc #rccrawler #emo #axial

Follow the leader was the name of the game when my buddy Chris brought his JT4 to the Ravines. Could it hang with the ever-capable SSD Trail King Willys? That was the question. Spoiler -- apart from rolling over earlier on side slopes and getting stuck under low underpasses, the EMO totally kept up with the competition. We both ran Pro Line tires, and his fat BFGs predictably had more grip than my skinny Grunts which made up for the loss in cornering, so it worked out pretty much the same.
