And just to add to that, the three MUST HAVES of crawling are 4X4, locked diffs and a proportional throttle, however the three essentials to rock crawling are torque, weight (C.O.G.), and traction. If you dont have the first 3 then its not really a crawler, and the second three are what you need for a successful one, but the second three arent really needed they just help. BTW isnt concrete going to give your crawling couse like 200% traction compared to like real rocks or dirt? Well any how i look forward to the final product
