some of the gates were very narrow429 viewsThe LR3's tight turning radius was a great help. You are only allowed one shunt (backup) per course section, so it is best to save it for when you really need it. I was very impressed with how slowly the LR3 can walk over the rocks, I had it set to rock crawl, and used either 1st or 2nd gear, depending on the terrain and size of rocks. mostly used 2nd, it give better throttle control.
