Rc rockcrawling

The axial is a comp level Crawler and tamaya stuff is more for scale appearance. The axial is the standard axel for crawling these days.

Before you buy Batts do a little research as well. You don't use huge butt stick packs any more. Mini t packs work just fine.

Hi to all rock crawlers. Have watched your thred here for some time now. Find it to be very interesting. I will try to get up there on Sunday to watch. Might have to get one myself, since my wife took over my e-maxx, she loves betting the **** out of it. Hope to see ya, and to learn something new.

yes the more the better. we dont have a large group together but its slowly growing. its a fun sport new to me. I love racing but crawling is very laid back your not timed slow controled movements is key. mabey one day we can have a coarse at the track because mabey if people could see what its all about it could grow even more. Correct me if im wrong chad but there is even been talk of the taylor falls group coming this way for one of there traveling series.

Spitit Mt. has the National Time Trials this weekend along with a big motorcycle ralley.

the time trials is alot like rc rock crawlling but with dirt bikes disigned to hop rocks and get through technical terrain.

Spirit mt is FULL of rock out croppings, you just have to find them

Talked about puting a crawler section in since we built the track but we STILL need input from the crawlers. We do not know what is needed or what will work for a track/layout.

We will help out with it but one of you will have to jump in and take the lead, maintaining the current track is a full time job in itself.

just seen your post today, that's why I didn't see anyone up there. Hope to catch you some other time.

My number is posted above. Feel free to call next time and if there's no answer just leave a quick message and I'll call back! Were usually hard to find if you don't catch us in the parking lot.

Tuesday around 4 or 5 were getting together so feel free to check where were at first. Enger is getting old so were looking for other spots at the moment. That leads me to my next question. Any suggestions on future spots to crawl? Stony point has been mentioned but I know some of us want something a little closer.

I can't make it today unless I can catch a ride. I'm having car troubles.

I wish I'd have known. I could have picked you up. I went up to Enger today to check out the rock crawling but didnt find anybody

Thanks
Chad

Chad, how many crawlers you got.???

Post by **pit bitch** » Fri Aug 29, 2008 10:05 pm

Just one rtr but I got some wheely king axel's and a 1/6th scale h2 body that I wanna put together over the winter. Just one 1/10 or 1/12 scaler after that and I'll be done... I hope

Chad, sounds like a good start.Car Action put out a rock crawlers special issue. It's got alot of cool ideas and helpful tips. It's making me want one even more, But wife says I have to get rid of some of the shelf queens. I've got about 30 different ones. My best one is my TRX-3 buggy. Hope to catch you up on the hill some time, got to go to the lake to fish and swim and tip a few back. Have a cool Laber Day and fire-up the crawler.

Thanks for the heads up on the magazine. I usually hang out on the RCCrawler to find anything new. Someone usually posts info before the mag's even print.

Doubt I can get out today to crawl. This humidity is driving me crazy.

Hey Andy, lmk if you can sell that k2-3s. I'm interested in picking it up today if that's at all possible
