Gonna bring the tennis balls as well... and even try my hand at scoring some things to get a better understanding of how it should work out... :)

[smallcrawl]

Great idea. I defently think we should set up some courses and start easing our way into comp mode. :thumb:

since this is a fake comp i will bring my gun and shoot the loser in the leg instead of the head

I was looking at going to URE for the comp, but there isn't much info on it. I've never been to a comp and think I would like it. Don't know if I'll do any good, but you never know until ya try. I live in Kerenersville--which place is closer? I'm unsure on which place to go.

If you want to get a taste of a Comp then show up at this place (High Rock). Silas is going to set up some tennis balls and we are going to do sort of a fake Comp. We all are wanting to learn a little more before we show up somewhere looking like a bunch of fools.

I would guess High Rock is closer to you also.

They are almost exactly the same distance for ya... HRL is a bit closer.

[Silas]

I was going to URE too... but for 20 bucks to compete, thats a little steep for me.

[792.5cj5]

Ok, Looks like I'm in. As long as the weather is good I'll be there. I'm going to bring a couple 1:6 Nylints too. Hope to see ya there. Also, are the rocks within walking distance. I charge off 12 volt and currently only use one battery. Just rebuilt my shocks and did some tire siping and I'm ready to test it out.

Yeah, it's only a couple hundred yards down to the crawl area from the parking lot. It's really sweet there, well worth the walk.

[792.5cj5]

I might have 2 other guys coming and bring out the Nylint's. I'm going to have to change out the o-rings in mine to get it ready for thr rocks.

[Silas]

Sweet!

What time is everyone meeting there? I am at Ocean Isle right now doing some work my parent's place but heading back tomorrow. Depending on when everyone is planning on meeting (and BA4R is leaving) I am in for shooting film and photos, maybe wheel the Nylint a bit. It is a matter of time until the rear axle breaks.

[brokeass4runner]

I'm shooting to be at HRL by 10AM like everyone else.

Hey everyone;

It looks like the CRR comp is cancelled. I will try to find you guys some time tomorrow out this crawl.

It sounds great that we want to set up some courses. I really need to do a test run before the East Coast Championships.

Look forward to meeting some new people tomorrow (I will be in the ugly 4runner and will run a red and white Holmes Powerred Bug)

[Silas]

Cool Deal!!!

[brokeass4runner]

Ready to roll. Just waiting on my third battery pack to charge up.

Are we meeting at that clearing/parking lot on the left shown on the satellite image?

[Silas]

Yeah... waiting on my jeans to dry so i can go load up... :)

[Cajun]

Uuuummmmm....boys, the dam's open.....

[srx]

yeah, we found out the hard way

[Miller Time]

Was it too flooded to run? I was out last night until about 3 this morning so I decided against going, was there any crawling?

[upnover]

Just got back...

Uuuummmmm....boys, the dam's open.....
yeah it was flooded

Yes we made the best of it. Had about 15 rigs out there.The trail head to the left had some stuff to run and Silas will be posting pics and vids.

[upnover]

yeah, we found out the hard way

[renoirbud]

[renoirbud]

hey

Nope, I did not fix the bugs, I just found more.

[Silas]

It was great seeing all you guys out... Had a blast and learned a few things... Thanks renoirbud and rockshow for sharing with us!!!

I am working on photos now... close to 400ish so I should have those uploaded tonight!!

How stock is it? Definately do not plan to cut it loose to the offspring just yet.

I drove Lee's AX @ HRL last weekend and it seemed fairly easy to me. Sure, he's got a few up's. But you sell one of those truck's that you gotta posted and your in business with no big hit to the wallet. EBAY one of them suckers :thumb:

[brokeass4runner]

Loose dirt, mud, and hill climbs suck in RC crawling just as much as they do in 1:1s.

Fawking dam.

Good to meet everyone.

[KvilleKrawler]

It was great meeting all of you today. Had a blast out there. Maybe the water will be lower the next time, but it was still a lot of fun.

[DDS]

had a **** good time......nice meeting everyone except will and silas:finger1:
