DAMMMNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is just blowin up! Very niiiiiice. Its good to see alot more new names that are active on gettin together. With the excpetion of today, I'm down to run whenever and of course I will be at the "big" GTG on the 29th.

Pat is located in osseo, and if he wants he can run my gecko, cuz he doesnt have a truck together yet.
The rock pile behind the strip mall we went to a while back was great in my opinion. While there was too much mud at the base, my 2.2 was still able to make it to the top, granted is was really the only 2.2 that made it to the top.
Troy, lmk when ya wanna gtg to get those parts from me.
Cole, dont feel bad for being awake all night, I would have been online too if it wasnt for the fact that I was WORKING.:lol:
As for this group gettin official, its deffinatly going in the right direction. All we need to do is get some good GTG's and maintain a large # of members. As long as we can do that I'm pretty sure we will be able to get the go ahead to be official. Rerock and I will persue it more after I see how well the GTG on the 29th turns out.

 

[freetimecrawler]

I'll be there the 29th.
The spot behind the strip mall in Burnsville is fine by me, seems like an easy place to meet, plenty spread out, a good challange, (maybe not quite as much for the clods) and parking, gets my vote.

So..... Thats:

4 votes for Burnsville location. 1.4x4rcfreek, 2.Freetime,3.speedsport22.4.Rerock

6 confirms for the Sat April 29th GTG. 1.4x4rcfreek,2.Freetime,3.Speedsport22,4.Pro beater,5.Nikelpimp.6.Rerock

1 Most likely will make it. 1.mgtmania


Post up gents, your vote for choice of location, and a confirmation if you'll be able to make it or not?




Also, please check out the Midwest Comp post, and post up if your interested in going. Trying to get a good size group of us from Mn to show up. Its an awsome site, pic's and information are posted here:

I vote for the burnsville stop unless some finds a place that has a good layout and that we can actually park at. I think the burnsville spot would be great cuz its extra challenging for the 2.2's and we can do a completely different layout for the unlimiteds. It looks like most of us will be runnin 2.2's, so it will be more than challenging.

So, if your gonna show up, post up. If you might make it, well, post that instead. If you cant, well, then your just gonna miss out, but there will be more GTG's. I hope to see ya'll there.

I'm most definetly down the gtg on the 29th-Save me a spot. One question though-what time? I do have to work that day but only til 1:30...I can be there round 2 or 2:30p. Also I don't know where it is still. Maybe if some people wanna hook up before then and check it out.

I did some mashing round bass lake and found NO ROCKS!!!:x only a bunch of fallen timber-which was alright, I guess but I'd like to see how my stock clod tires grip on rocks. I've been thinking about some moabs(I been reading that they're to sh** on rocks) but I'd have to change rim size of course. Too many ideas...not enough money.

 

[pro beater]

i hear ya thewre man , too many toys started , not enough time or $ to finish 'em

anyone wanna buy a lightly abused kidney?

 

[speedsport22]

I'm down for the 29th at the mall location. Could some one pm me directions?

 

[freetimecrawler]

Welcome aboard Mn Gumby!!!! Post up what your running, and if your interested in making it to our MN Get together Sat April 29th.

Read through this thread and you'll get to see what we're all about.

Hi Guys been coming to this forum for about a month but just noticed this thread tonight. I mainly race nitro offroad but am building a crawler to play around with this year. I hope to build one based on the nn got the clod axils will be ordering up some parts in the next couple of weeks. I hang out at Jerry's RC in lanolakes and 2 other guys there are building crawlers. Ones a home built shafty with emaxx tranny very interesting design and the others building a 2.2 In fact one was going to make a 5 hour trip to iowa for a gtg because we didn't know there were any other crawlers in MN. We're looking for locations in the north metro area and let you know if we find any. I'll tell them about this thread and I'm sure they'd like to make one of your gtg's.

You guys are all welcome to come to the gtg even if you don't have anything done to run yet, even if its just to meet some of the guys and check out some crawlers. Some of us have met, but many of us haven't yet, Burnsville Center I believe, is the tentative meeting place, and we run near there. Moundsview isn't that far.
Check through this post for an idea of what guys here are running.
Shaftys, Clods, E-maxx's, tubers. Then come out April 29th and meet the guys and check out some crawlers. Try and get those other 2 guys to post up on here.
Everyones welcome.

Theres a Midwest comp comming up in Iowa in June, its posted in the comps forum. I know theres like 3 of us going, hopefully Mn can send a few more down to represent our newly forming crawling club. If those guys were going to drive that far for a gtg, that might be willing for a comp also.

29th at the strip mall huh? Sounds like a plan. That means I'll have to get on the stick and get the chassis done. I need to hurry up and gt this thing done. My mud truck is coming home this week, so after that it's 1:1 time for a while.
