Badrock Ridge
Traxxas TRX-4 working up a tough climb.
|
Slowly eroding away into the desert floor, Badrock Ridge sits as a ribbon of burnt-orange sandstone spilling across a weathered alluvial fan, flowing down from a steep mountain range tucked away in an arid region of Southern Nevada.
Not terribly far from the iconic Las Vegas Strip, this rotting pile of sandstone has the dubious reputation of unpredictably crumbling away underfoot at the most inopportune moments, sending more than a few hikers tumbling down head over heels to the ground below. Only reachable by navigating through a maze of crisscrossing ATV trails and blown-out jeep roads, Badrock’s natural and rugged beauty rewards the adventurer with stunning views and the sweet scent of desert sage and creosote. |

Badrock Ridge is the home for the majority of our crawler tire and trail truck testing, and continues to provide the perfect place to observe and record the results, allowing us to share insights and ideas gained from our time out on the trail.
Our exploration of this area continues and we are pleased to keep discovering interesting rocks and challenging terrain. Just one of the benefits of living in a vast desert landscape. |
RC Speedy's VRD moon buggy is perfectly suited for this terrain.
