colorado springs weekly comps/trail runs?

[mutantsquirl]

Yeah man still had fun. I love running the 2.2's on my scx10 for trail running and all. But my poor truck had no chance what so ever. And I nowhere near had enough experience to do some of those gates. I almost completed one course though. That was after winching 2 times, kicking the truck, and 3 cigarettes. All and all had a blast. But I need to setup my rig allot differently and add a mess load of weight.

I think we were thrown off by the "scale" part. Was still an experience just didnt expect it to be as extreme as it was.

There are scale comps (ladder framed or tube chassis trucks) and there are crawler comps (twin vertical plate chassis trucks, ie; old AX10, XR10, bergs and bullys) This was a typical "scale" comp format that the majority of the drivers in the community enjoy. We would like you to join us for our Haunted Forest Scale Adventure night run coming up later this month "thumbsup"

Thanks for understanding. I'm sure we all still had a great time. A great learning experience for sure. "thumbsup"

Good and glad you saw it as a learning experience "thumbsup"

As was said by a few others it was my first comp for one but I quickly realized that it was way outa my league. Think ill just stick to trail runs in the springs from now on.... the only course I tried was nearly impossible even for the better sett up modifieds so yeh.:banghead:

We understand. One of the points of SORCCA based events is to push the driver and the limits of their rig and sometimes that's not for everyone.
On the upside that's to cool part about scale rc, there's many different styles of events, comps, trail runs, follow the leader, scale adventure, search and rescue, treasure hunt "thumbsup" if your interested check out our scale adventure night run coming up this month. Basically a trail run with gates with bonus prizes and items on the trail :mrgreen:

It was definatly a challange thats for sure.

We tell a lot of people that everyone starts somewhere and all it takes is time behind the wheel. and we are here to help with rig set up anytime. "thumbsup"

We do encourage all of you the check out the scale adventure night run we have planned for later this month, same location but not on the main rock formations, details will be posted soon.

That sounds a lot more like what we are used to doing. Thanks again for understanding. It was a enjoyable learning experience. Now I understand more of what to expect for a scale comp! Thanks Ikaika (SP) "thumbsup"

Good times, good people and man what a intense course lay out...learned a few thing I need tweak on the truck and the trigger. I had a good time none the less.

I believe is it said A-Kik-a? Lol that is spelled a little racist.
I do have a question for you. I am trying to build a wroncho out of my jk. Did I bite of more than I can chew? Meaning is it more of a pain in the ass than I thought it would be?

Alright boys, I doubt I'll make the Haunted Trail Run hosted by TCS cause family stuff. But, I did pickup some lights so I know we have talked about it....yes,early evening/ night trail run....yes, it will be cold. I say we keep it somewhat familiar and do maybe Palmer Park LazyLand area? or ???? Let's do it! Hell zip-tie a flashlight on your rig if you have to.

pics from yesterday...it was fun but not what I expected. Oh well live and learn.













Liittle suspension tweaking on the ride hight and new "lighter" roof rack....this one weighs over a 100grams less :lmao: And the RC4wd light bar hang off it probably dont help.

 

[Crawler/Madness]

Ok gents. This is the plan for Sunday. We will meet up at crawlers paradise at ten. We will be setting up the BBQ and sitting area just below devils playground at the pic nic table. We will be doing a couple scale runs around devils playground before lunch and have a meeting over some warm food at noon and another run after we eat. Gonna be a cool brisk day so dress warm. I have a BBQ,table,chairs,plates,forks and about 24 dogs and buns. We need someone to bring sodas and chips and anything else they would like to share. Donnie bring your latest ideas for club shirts so we can get them ordered. Any help with some course layouts would be greatly appreciated. Any feed back gents??
