I had a few mintues to spare today so I threw an idea together. I was trying to come up with a good Slogan so to speak. I had two that I thought were decent, they were:

1. Get Your Rocks Off
2. Get Twisted

You can see both of those ideas on the logo I put together. I am open for ideas....thoughts....complaints....etc.

or how 'bout.....We take it on the rocks, with a twist.

Dont think your locked in to that logo I made. That was just my first ideas that I threw together. I can make just about anything anyone wants.

What you will find quickly is, you cant make everyone happy. If you have a group of people deciding on something you will be lucky to get half of them to agree.

So let me know what you want, and I will see what I can do to make it happen. :thumbsup:

I'm in favor of the "Get your rocks off" slogan.

It can't be anything lame.

When will the course be open to the public. I would love to stop by sometime and check it out. I am from the Lowell area, so your not that far of a trip.

You are welcome to come out and check it out anytime. It isn't finished, but there are areas you can crawl on. Not going to start charging a practice fee until we get it finished.

Is anyone getting together this comming Sunday?..... 1pm as usual i suppose

Yeah plannin on it. Was out there yesterday and there were couple cats there. Lets get a little informal comp together this Sunday. By the way great job on the rocks guys, had a blast.

I ran mine around a little last wednesday night after racing and very fun course. Funny how many "racers" actually injoyed driving it as well. I am just about done converting mine into a scale, so I will have give the it a shot like that.

Good job guys :)

Hey what are you guys running for shock oil in the F/R?
Thanks
:thumbsup:

Hey what are you guys running for shock oil in the F/R?

:thumbsup:

I still use the stock 30wt that came with my ax-10 kit, but I sealed one of the two flow holes inside each shock to slow things down a bit. If you have different spring rates front and rear, I feel it is important to adjust the shocks so that the rebound rate** is similar on both ends of the crawler.

When I first got my kit I just plugged one rear shock hole for ballance, to compensate for softer springs in front. The sealing of a hole is the same as running heavier fluid, it slows things down. This adjustment will also affect the shock during compression, however since we drive slowly most of the time this has virtually no effect to over-all driving. If anything the heavy oil or plugged hole minimizes the effects of "rapid" or "instant" torque twist. Thats the twist you get when you punch it. It has no affect on "slow" torque twist which is waht you get when climbing a steep grade or when you get a wheel bound up in something.


**I guess for the "simple" rc shocks we use we could just say "damping rate" since there is no way to seperatly adjust the rebuond and compression strokes. Seperate adjustments become more of a benifit the faster the vehicle travels.

hey all, just joined the forum and im very excited to here about a crawler course/club in grand rapids! im new to rc's but ive been tinkering with a tamiya crawler for about 3 months. its not all that yet but im definitely looking forward to coming out to mash it up with you guys!

Whats going on everyone. Been pretty quiet around here lately!!

I will be there to crawl if anyone else wants to show. :)

hey guys hows it going? new to this sight came from clod talk and was doing a search on web and found you guys im from north of gr , in newaygo, my girlfriend lives in kent wood , so i was very excited to find someone this close that were playing with the big trucks. i would love to help out , just had knee surgery, but when im well enough it would be gr8 to come play . i also was just reading and had some ideas i have railroad ties they make gr8 obstacles any thing else i could do let me know

Maybe when we start setting up the outdoor course...we are on a small footprint for now and are hoping to keep a "natural rock" look going...but that may change. Thanks for the offer though it's good to have options open.
Good luck with the knee. If you want to show on a sunday I'm sure someone would be happy to spot your runs so you can heal. Heck I'll even drive your crawler for you if it's too much for you :drunk:!LOL

Finally! A dig unit that works, is not expensive, AND most importantly doesn't require a bunch of fab work! This looks to be a very complete kit, no sneeky extra parts needed later to fix short-comings, just add a servo and bolt it up.
