start of the day416 viewsVery nice selection of Rovers attended the trials. I had the only LR3. The had two classifications, short wheel base (under 100 inches) and Long Wheel base (over 100). LR3 was classified in the long.

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.

Coming out of an small off-camber ravine468 viewscoming out of an off camber ravine and lining up for the next gate. The LR3's traction control was great, even with the stock tires there was virtually no slipping.
