when u talk hillclimb,do u mean in the dunes or in the woods.in the woods i would say hell to the no on shearers.from what i gather they lack bottom,but they are a inframe drag pipe,so thats not what they are built for.dunes,give em a try,but if ur woods,the t5s will be the choice.actually,pcs would be the woods choice.i still cheese over my dmcs tho
