That's right!!!! Rock Crawling at Summit Raceway in Fort Wayne!!!!! If you have a rock crawler of a moster truck and you want to try it out on the rocks.

Post hear....... I am Seth Barrand and will be heading up this awesome type of R/C, my thought is to set up say 5-6 rock meets this year at Summit and maybe have 3 of them be competitions and the rest be practice, on Sundays say around noon so when you get out of church you can grab the rig and head on over. I know I will be!

Yes! We have ROCKS and ROCK HILLS and they range from mild to wild... With one thing in common AWESOMENESS!!!!!!! yes that is a word.

seth

I am starting to think maybe a 5 comp points sereis with troughys! what do you think?

In need of any rocks?? Big ones, small ones, all kinds. PM me seth. I'll be over before long. Glad to help.

seth

Sounds like a good time.

well you know im in.

Cool man. I'm getting close to ordering a rig. Sonds like a lot of fun. Can I paint mine pink?

Seth,

What day would you run? I have never done this type of RC before. I have done Monster Trucks (modified Clods) and they were fun but very expensive. Crawlers are not quite as bad. I will most likely try it out.

Larry,

Yes I think you would love it. Sunday is the only day we can run on the weekend, due to off road on Saturday. Unless every one that comes out to crawl has Spektrum.

I am working on practice days and competition days, I will be putting this info up on a web page just like the nastruck series.

I will be there this Saturday working on the rocks, you should come up if you are not already comeing for the last oval night, and check out the course.

seth

what time we gonna start working on sat ?

what time we gonna start working on sat ?

I am thinking 10ish in the AM variaty. I would love to get it all cleared and ready, take pics for the web page and maybe just maybe, if you bring your buggy and you let me, I want to put it on the rocks and take pics of that as well.

any one wanting to help or just check us out I will be at summit raceway
@ 10 am on 4-12-08 this sat.

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH NNNNNNOOOOOOOO. More toys.

Got mine ordered.:thumbsup:
Hope my schedule works out.:woohoo:
Where do we get those little lipo batteries? Would Phils have them?

Ben

Ok guys I have been cross ref all the events at summit and the parking lot races and this is what I came up with for 2008. 9 Days for Rock crawling fun at Summit RC Raceway

April 20th -- Test N tune

May 4th -- Test N tune
May 25th -- 1st Summit Rock

June 8th -- Test N tune
June 22nd -- 2nd Summit Rock

July 20th -- 3rd Summit Rock

August 17th -- 4th Summit Rock
August 24th -- Test N tune
August 31st -- Finals Summit Rock

remember if you have spektrum you can go any day that summit is open to run the rocks just pay for practice to use the pits, let me tell you $7 is worth the power to charge and the cool A/C when its 100deg out.

The Summit Rock is a 5 crawl series that will cost $15 per entry with 10 going to the track and $5 going for the prize at the finals...

what do you think?

seth

I like that we have 1 1/2 months to recruit new blood. We should try and come up with a flier to pass around.

Ben

I'm getting the AX10. It seems to be the truck most people are going have.

Seen one in action saturday and have to admit I was very impressed! :thumbsup:

wALLY and Airborne has pm..

Seth you have email. I sent you a version of the flier to check out.
Ben

So, is Adam "cheese face" going to get a truck too?

Ben

Here's the flier...

Ben,

You do good work my freind. I dont care what those road course guys say about you.

seth

You guys made some good progress on the corse today good work

seth

Ok Rockers hear it is:

www.geocities.com/yeahbutitsmesethbarrand/SummitRock.html

it still is a work in progress, so feed back would be appreciated.

seth

I will leave after church and that will make me a little later next Sunday.

I bought the Axial Scorpion RTR. I didn't want to go "whole hog" until I found out if I liked this kind of RC. The video on Rock Crawlers website indicates it is a good crawler when you change the gear (included in the kit) and lock the front (lock also in kit). I should have it ready for Sunday with no problems.

Summit Raceways most famous hacker says his rock crawler is ready to go and kick butt this weekend. :cool:

My crawler arrived today. I will make the changes and be there Sunday. This should be interesting.

Thats great Larry,

I however do not have mine yet:confused: So I most likely will not have one for this Sunday, But I am looking forward to meeting new crawlers and watching the action.

I have a sneeky feeling that Josh might let me use his:wave:

seth

p.s. Nicks hobby shop has two AX-10's in stock......

man am i ever gonna get to drive it:cry: ya that shouldn't be a problem

man am i ever gonna get to drive it:cry: ya that shouldn't be a problem

Josh,

Just for a minute:rolleyes:

Can I drive it for a minute also ....... to fun

You guys can try mine. I changed the pinion tonight, did a test on the radio, ESC, and servo (all worked), and will change to the locked front diff tomorrow or Saturday; whenever I get time.

Does Nicks have bodies yet? J Concepts just released a new crawler specific body and it is sweet. I will use RTR for now.

:rolleyes:

p.s. Nicks hobby shop has two AX-10's in stock...... Make that one. Millertime got one of them today. Tracey says more are coming in also.

Looks good. I will need to push it to be there for the test and tune. But enter me and maybe I can be in the later climbs. If that is possible. How many attempts does a vehicle get? Stuipid question I know, but I am new at this. I know in Monster Truck racing you run the course three times on the right and three on the left but that is totally different that rocks.

Trophys is spelled incorrectly at the top of the flyer page. No big deal but I thought you might want to correct before printing any.

Your stuff come today Seth? I'm really getting pissed....
Ben

Excellent, I won't worry so much about what time I get there. I have practiced on some stuff around here. I think I may change out the radio (cheap AM 27 band) for some of my better stuff, just not this weekend.

p.s. Nicks hobby shop has two AX-10's in stock......

Ben
