any crawlers in MN?

[speedsport22]

So are we going to the Burnsville spot?

 

[Nicklepimp]

Burnsville it is. I'm posting the directions again in case anyone forgot how to get there, or for anyone who hasn't been there before. Thanks to Adogg for originally posting these directions.

> Going Southbound on I-35W: Take the CR-42 exit (I belive it's Exit 1), turn RIGHT onto CR-42, take that for a little less than a mile. Then turn RIGHT onto Irving Ave. Then another RIGHT into the parking lot behind the businesses on CR-42 & Irving(just befor the stop sign at McAndrews Rd.

> Going Northbound on I-35: Take the I-35E route heading towards St.Paul. Take the exit for CR-42 (Exit 88b). Turn LEFT onto CR-42, and take that for a little over a mile. Then turn RIGHT onto Irving Ave. Then another RIGHT into the parking lot behind the businesses on CR-42 & Irving(just before the stop sign at McAndrews Rd.


I even left the directions in Adogg's color!

As of right now, I'm probably comming. Better chance that I will be there than not. My ankle is doing a little better. Not using the crutches anymore if I don't have to, just hobbleing around with the brace (And ofcoarse the Vicodin;-)).
I finally mounted up my set of Giant Tracs on some new Emaxx wheels, so i'd like to see how those perform on some of the 'sharper' kind of rocks.
Hope to see you guys there...

Troy, thanks for getting me those R&P's. Sorry about not having correct change. I'll settle up next time I see you. I haven't had a chance to crack the axle apart yet and see if the JB weld glued the cases together or not. I suppose I can use the die grinder and butcher up the old ring gear to get it apart if needed. Anyways thanks, and hopefully I'll be able to make it. I'll re-read your post above to get the time.

Picked up my crawler hauler today, I'm gonna start setting it up tonight. I also worked on the waterfalls last night and got that almost done. I'll be out working on the trailer and course if there's anybody who wants to drop by?
Otherwise, I'll see who ever shows tomorrow.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with my batteries. :evil: The second battery pack is doing the same thing as the first one now. It won't take a charge for more than 5-10 minutes and only runs for a couple minutes if that. Very very frustrating!!

PM Johnroberthomes if he's on-line, he's very knowledgable about batteries and electronics.

Oh sure, still using the same excuse.;-)

So, I got my new Laptop today... In fact, I'm using it right now. What's really cool is that I can get a WiFi signal here in my apt. It might be our wireless router, but i didn't think I had it set up to receive/transmit wirelessly (both the other computers are hard wired to the router/modem.) Either way, we all have firewalls and such so this works out pretty cool.:mrgreen:

Uh, well, uh, you know...

If only it was an excuse!!! It's gotta be my cheap-azz charger. I don't know if it is f***ing up my batteries, or if it just isn't reading the peak properly. Talking with johnrobertholmes he suggested charging the batteries back to back 3 or 4 times until I can try a different charger on the batt's. Which brings up a good point...Can someone bring their charger tomorrow so I can try a different charger? Only problem would be that I use a different plug-but maybe we can figure out an adapter

 

[Etype R]

I will probably be there. Still need to fix the jugg... I'll do that tonight or in the morning Either way, its last minute as always.

I can bring my charger along... I have brought it every other time, but I or anyone else has needed it.

I still need to have the sign shop add the lettering. I'm also going to put our MN club logo and website addy on it. I also need to make a pit bench and do some work on the inside to customize it a little.

What kind of plugs do you use? If I remember, your using the traditional deans plugs. I can bring a plug with wire ends.

Yes I am using Deans plugs... I do have a Tamiya to Deans adaprter, if the Tamiya style is the connector that you have on your batteries. Otherwise the wires that I have in the charger can be taken out to put in some that you have to charge your batts.
