With Australia's 2024 national RC crawling event behind us, I'm now looking to optimise my Mini. I was lucky enough to meet with Steve Price of Pricey's Custom Crawlers (link below), who is a suspension specialist with real-world, 1:1 motor racing experience.

Come and check out a run at the national level and then hear what Pricey has to say about tuning suspension for optimal crawling! Let's go!

    Making it look easy there! Congrats on your podium finish! I only ever see guys showing off their Pricey's shocks on their builds on facebook. Really cool to hear his approach to the dual spring setup
  • @kopigangrc
    1st, congratulations Craig on taking the 2nd place 👏. Been hearing about pricey shocks for a while. Didn't realize he's from Aussie. Excellent shocks from what I heard. Might be enquiring some soon.
  • @basc5026
    Congrats on 2nd place, very interesting chat about those shocks and setup expectation..
  • @DurpVonFronz
    NIce run Craig!! Deadly impressive!! Unsprung is where its at!! Heavy wheels and as much mass on the axle as possible. :)
  • @user-yi3qu9jg8l
    That was a really nice run! Congratulations! And the shock information was interesting also.
  • @derrickhays3627
    Congrats on the finish💪 not a comp guy myself but the mini's look like a lot of fun, I've only ever watched bits and pieces of 10th scale comps but if you have to winch to make a line I figure you can't make it 😅 anyway great rig thanks for sharing.
  • @bernardrc1137
    Wow, what a awesome crawler circut, love the brook running through it, leant bit about shocks too. It gave me a few ideas on how to mix n match shocks, nice one 👍
  • You had a great finish with the second place. I am not sure I understand all of the interview.But, I will bookmark this episode and go back when I build one. You really gave that servo award workout.
  • @gillian9178
    Great second place mate, good to see you out enjoying the RC's.
  • @jmaxx211
    Steves awesome i have 3 sets. Two on each of my vs410s and 1 set on my stance rtr. Never an issue and they do what he said they are going to do.
  • @WestyCoastHermit
    Very impressive run! It looked really nice crawling over those rocks with ease. Congrats on placing 2nd! I loved the interview during the second half of the video. He really knows his shocks and seems passionate about his product which is a great combination. I look forward to checking those out for a future build.

    That was Awsome I’m loving my feather weight! See you added little green piece in back to mee length! I hadnt gotten new tires on until last night mounted up some dlux offered the hp rover I like my ruptures so much had to get them. Should make big diff, the stock tires are nice with no foams the way they come and extra weight I am surprised at their abilities. The rc4wd pins are out of stock thanks to you 😁. I run most rigs no springs front banded, haven’t banded this yet it hurts breakover but sidehill and steep nothing better. My HT feather is no springs and the weight in front dos Awsome just when get to like a 60 plus angle it does lift but thanks to your design it is light and doesn’t lift tires tilll well into the 60 degree plus crawls
  • @gibsonlife573

  • @martinjevan2296
