Terrain setup ranking

Setup Tier List

This ranks the importance of verified setup techniques—not unverified truck performance. S-tier choices prevent the most common trail failures.

Mud Setup

Air down to the MUD preset, use low range and keep a steady pace without spinning the tires.

L or L- · 10 psi tutorial preset

Rock Crawling

Crawl slowly, steer before each obstacle and avoid putting a wheel directly on top of a rock.

L- or L · Low

Steep Descent

Point straight downhill, select low range and let the gearing hold the truck back.

L- · Match terrain

Water Crossing

Enter at walking pace, keep the tires low and maintain a straight, steady crossing.

Low range · Low

Log Crossing

Follow the marked line, approach slowly and add only enough throttle to clear the larger log.

Low range · Low

How the ranking works

Rankings reflect how foundational each technique is in the tutorial footage. Mud and rock setup sit in S because tire pressure, gearing and line choice work together. The list does not rank the seven trucks because reliable comparable performance statistics were not available.
