Mojave Valley RC Adventures

Mojave Valley Rc adventures

Vanquish VS 410 Pro

Known for its majestic beauty and harsh landscapes, the Mojave Desert is an arid and wide open space perfectly suited for rock crawling and desert racing year round. Our home town of Las Vegas places us in the upper northeast region of the Mojave Desert, providing us easy access to endless rock crawling terrain.

Here at MVRCA, we invite you to follow along on some of our research and evaluation projects, as well as seeing how we set up the various RC platforms. We also invite your to simply read along for the sake of entertainment and to learn a bit more about our unique desert environment.

New Content

We are pleased to announce two new sections recently added to the Crawler Tire Reviews tab on the website.

First is the new Tire Evaluation Criteria section on the website. This testing criteria lays out what tires are measured against as well as how much value we place on their performance or attributes in each category. You will find this under the Crawler Tire Reviews tab, or jump directly to it HERE.

Accompanying this new section another new tab; Tire Rankings. This new tab contains a table with each tire's summary score and their ranking among other tires of the same wheel size. You can find it under the Crawler Tire Reviews tab, or jump directly to it HERE.

Our primary goal is to share with you a unique depth of high-quality information which cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.

Our structure is built around written content with some support from photos and short video clips. We believe that if you're going to take the time to write thousands of words on a specific topic, you actually need to understand the topic.

There is no short-cut to this approach; you must invest the time and resources to accomplish such a task, and it's nothing we shy away from.

And to that end, we hope you enjoy the content we present.

Random Thoughts...

We are still not completely sure what to do with our pair of Element Gatekeepers. Both started as kits, but evolved into two distinctly different beasts; one is setup as a U4 Rock Racer and the other as a dedicated rock crawling buggy.

The rock crawling buggy has been rather impressive on the trail, but there is no escaping the weight of the cage nor the narrow track width. Even with those deficiencies, it still handles most trail challenges, and it still feels like a Gatekeeper.

That said, improvements can be made to increase its rock crawling ability, but it may come at the expense of it losing some of the Gatekeeper personality. We gotta think this over a bit and decided what we want to do.
