Tell you what, shoot me an e-mail and I will take /send some pics . If you like what you see, I will create a word doc of instructions for you. Be warned this is a putsy project and even with the guidance I can provide you will still need to figure the sizing and final fitting part out for your specific application. Expect to spend at least 2.5 hours on this. Took me about 6 hours of prototyping (and several trips ACE) to develop a design that was "easy" alter for tire size and wouldn't catch on the steering parts and shock springs.

Crawl'n is about to blow up in Grand Rapids MI
For those who don’t know, there are two indoor R/C facilities in Grand Rapids.
They are : Battle Front Gaming and R/C www.battlefrontgaming.com. Aka. “BFG”.
And Rapid Competition R/C www.rapidcompetition.com.
Both of these facilities have threads going on the HobbyTalk.com Forum.
To find out about what’s going on look under the r/c rock crawling area.
The Rapid Competition plans are on hold for now but, that may change.
As far as Battle Front goes the construction kicked of last night and much progress was made. No rocks yet but 90% of the framing and layout has been done. The course is an irregular shape about 14x20 feet and is intended for 2.2 rigs. Mini crawlers are not being specifically considered in the construction but “run what you brung” will be in effect. The overall plan is to have the course open during most regular hours and comps will be held regularly (schedule pending) Rental crawlers will be available soon and talk of an outdoor area big enough for supers has been mentioned. Even rock racing may well be on the menu. Fees have been tossed around .....$5.00 per sesson or a $30.00 per month unlimited use, and possably some sort of additional yearly club due.....nothing final yet. Check the BFG site in a week or so.

So who was up in Grand Haven the last couple weekends?? Decent time? Pics?
Anyone up for this weekend 28th or 29th? I can only spare a couple hours, but would like to get out.
Grand Haven is cool. Or the cement pile in Zeeland got bigger over the winter.

I might be up for something this weekend, probably in Zeeland. I have an appointment with a realtor in Kalamazoo Saturday morning, don't know when I'll get back from that. If I don't gtg with you guys, I'll probably take the B4 to BFG on Sunday and do a little test and tune.

I'm eager to get eather car out. Haven't ran the B4 except in my yard. I've done more work on the AX10, put 4WS back on, and put the batery over the front axle, so I want to get that out to. I say screw the responsabilities, lets go play."thumbsup"

J, not sure if you are going to run into BF and run there now.
I do not have enough time to spare for it this time. Sorry Nate.
If not, best time for me is Sunday, 1:30pm (+/-).
Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
Dragging the kids to Grandparents in Arkansas for spring break. Prep work for that.
Basement is dry and clean, but needs put back together.
Need to get the new sump pump more permenantly installed. Might use the old pump (still works ..the pc of #$@$%$@#) as a secondary. Sitting on a sand half way into the sump, so if first fails, second kicks in.
Kids, yard, house, wife has report cards due........... life.

1:30 on Sunday sounds good. We'll have to play the weather by ear though.

Looks like it's going to be rainy/snowy on Sunday. Saturday looks much better. My plans for Saturday might be falling through, so I might be able to do something eather day.

Yeah, rain/snow Sun. Sat is 48 and clouds, chance of rain later.
I got the reluctant thumbs up from the better half, if I keep it to 1-1/2hrs or less.
So 1:30ish Sat at the cement recyclers?
Hope they don't work Sats, we've always gone there on Sun. If you get there before me, check around.
Fallback place? Holland State Park the rocks are 3x3ft and larger with gaps, but could be semi-doable. We could drive to my house and jump in my wifes van. We want to buy a sticker for it anyway.

Sweli, sorry about all the I'll be there, no I won't, yes I will crap. I was able to do what I had to do over the phone rather than drive all the way to Portage.
I was able to get to BFG on Sunday with the B4, had a blast, man have I missed the 2WD buggy thing. I think I've got it set up for year round RC, rock crawling in the summer and Racing in the winter. "thumbsup"
