Thanks to Mark at RCU In The Shed (@rcuintheshed6981 ) for the idea of having Indiana Jones driving the ROC Hobbies Kubelwagen for the first run video!
Although they're four wheel drive, the ROC Hobbies Kubelwagen and VW Peoples Car aren't crawlers by any means. They have open diffs and if they are caught in a big enough rut they'll just freewheel the other tire and stop fast! I'm sure there is a way to add heavier gear oil or something to the diff to help them lock up a bit but I'm not planning to run these cars too hard, more shelf models than anything else!
I did want to get a running video of the Kubelwagen out at my favorite crawl spot, Mini Moab, and Mark suggested getting Indiana Jones to drive it, what a great idea and period correct too!
I hope you enjoy Indy's Kubel run and be sure to come back for more Cactus Crawlers RC!
