any crawlers in MN?

[Etype R]

Here is one I whippped up quick with a font I have.

Ohh I was going through stillwater today and decided to check out the historical marker wayside for my self. I noticed on the second roadblock that there was a newspaper clip taped to the sign. Found the name of it is Boomsite. So I searched google and found a article on the closer there. Its very upsetting that kids who party down there leave trash behind and spray paint anything in sight.

Here is a link to the story http://www.stillwatercourier.com/articles/index.cfm?id=4709&section=homepage

So because of others, we have lost a great crawling location.

I'll be around home all day working on the course and trailer. If anybody wants to stop by and check out the course? you're more then welcome.

North country, you get that truck finished yet?

On to another subject.
It was brought up at the meeting yesterday.
Since a couple of active club members work Saturdays. To have as large of attendance as possible.
How about moving our comps dates 1 day back to Sundays?
Our June 10th comp would still take place this coming Sat. But after that how about Sunday's? Also we would do an earlier start time, say 10-1100 am?

Please post up your thoughts or objections to moving the comps to Sunday.

Its all built now, I just have to do some misc. stuff.

Is anyone running wheel wideners? If so what kind, and what do you think of them? I think I need some.

You're running a 2.2 right? If so, it may be irrelevant, but on my clod i'm not running wideners, just the adapters from rcguy.com to fit a 40 series wheel.

I don't run any on either of my 2.2's. I think when people do, they use G made.
I think it puts too much stress on servos. Just my .02


I like #1 and Etype R's as far as fonts.

Here is a teaser shot of my TLT

I need to pick up some more drive shafts tomarrow before i can test run it. And I need to solder up some ends on my Tekin Rebel esc. Hopfully it works as planned, if not I'll have to try somthing else before this weekend.

For size reference that beer bottle is 7 inches tall, and that is maxxing out the suspension. I might limit it a little, but I need to test it first. Ohh and I still have to pull the axles apart and lock them again.

 

[Nicklepimp]

Glad I'm not running in the 2.2. By the way, nice angle on that teaser

 

[Etype R]

I figured you would be more interested in the beer in front of the truck? The TLT just makes a nice backdrop for the beer

EtypeR your truck i making me nervour for the comp, but you did inspire me to grab a beer:lol:

I had a geat day to day. I discovered 2 things. 1. My crawler will fit in a back pack with a little force. This is nice because I can now take it on my motorcycle rides and explore for new crawling areas. 2. I finally found a great spot to crawl around here. Just out side of Mankato there is a little town called Rapidam. There a dam on the river there. Theres a trail that goes from the dam down to the river. The trail is probably 1/4-1/2 mile long and has lots of fun ledges, rocks, ect. But the really fun part is when you get down to the river there is a lot of rocks along the beach:lol: I spent 2 hours down there today, there are countless lines to try. I only left because I ran out of batteries.

Speedsport, we will have to get together and head out there some time, and anyone else who is up for it I would be more than willing to show you.

 

[Nicklepimp]

I sense a road trip!!!

Do you have a digital camera? Maybe Speedsport? Or just someone you know, and you can borrow it?
Get some pics of the place and post them up, or email them to me and I can post them up.
Sounds like the right kind of area for some good crawlin'.

Ya, I do have a cammera. unfortunatly I didn't bring it along yesterday. But I will try and get back there some night this week and get some pics of the area.

Tonight i have to put my new tranny in my real car. After over a month on jack stands, my baby will drive again8)

Sorry I missed the GTG Saturday. I had a TON of cleaning to do in the shop. What was the final outcome of the meeting? What's the location/time for the comp?

I use the g-made wideners. I think they're the 24mm ones. The inet wideners are just too wide IMO; the pumpkin hangs up on everything.

 

[freetimecrawler]

Rerock, the meeting notes are posted on page 33 here, post #646.
The meeting/gtg went well. Although the turnout was small, it was still a productive meeting.

 

[rerock]

I'll go check it out. Thanks Troy!

BTW, I was able to use a chisel and hammer to get that diff apart. The new gears are working great! Now I just need to order those 2700MaH AA packs for a longer run time. I think I may need a new ESC too, the two 645's seem to occasionally overload it a bit.

 

[North Country]

Thanks for the input fellas. I should have mentioned that I'm running 2.2.

I guess all I can do is test it out. I just wanted them so I have enough clearance to slam the body.

Hey Rerock, any pictures of that Dresser event?

 

[Cake Eater]

So I had a bit of fun trying out the video/audio mixer on my computer. So here's the original tug-of-war with "The Rematch" that we did on Saturday.

[Nicklepimp]

Um, yeah, I almost liked that vid...almost

Honestly though the editing was kick-a$$, but still














Oh and did I mention

 

[speedsport22]

Yep guys I have a camera. I will take some pics of those areas that I was talking about.

9guy9 That sounds like a good idea.

nicklepimp you should take a road trip. As should the rest of you and come down and check things out.

Also if any one would hapen to be coming down for any reason I would love to hang out and do some crawling or just hang out.
