When I got the Sport I didn’t intend on doing much rock crawling and figured I’d see how far I could push it and upgrade as necessary. I’ve been looking at adding lockers since the first time I got her on a trail, but so far have been able to work through everything that’s come up until today when I got stuck on the rocks with the bow high up on a bolder and hitch dug firmly in the ground. I was just spinning wheels in forward and reverse and thought this was finally it. I tried holding throttle constant to let the BLD do its job and rocked the wheel back and forth. Nothing. After a few minutes walking around and trying to come up with something clever, I figured the hill descent control might be able to do something useful and holy hell was it ever effective! I now know it’s called selec-speed control and this is basically what it was designed for. My Gladiator elegantly climbed out like she had completely forgotten about being stuck and I ran around all day crawling up rock faces with almost no wheel spin. It feels like cheating.
I only posted because it seems like nobody is talking about this. I came across it basically on accident. I don’t think it is a replacement for lockers, but I’m absolutely blown away by how well it worked and feel everyone should know this is in their back pocket.
Has anyone else used this or had a similar experience?
