We setup 4 bonus gates on that coarse. We know the rules say only 1 bonus gate, but that's how we wanted to run the coarse that day.

Yup, that's my mini. I actually own a rock crawler now too. Best way to describe it is it is cute. Course as it is set up is a little rough for the 1.9, but we have plans of expading the course with an area set up especially to accomodate the 1.9s.

Cute, that's too funny. Here's a pick of mine, which is more evil than cute with the chassis I picked up.

I hoping to have the battery and Esc I ordered before this weekend, but I don't think they'll get here since they are being shipped from the west coast via UPS ground.

It looks like I should have brought my rig last night when I dropped off those tires for Roy. After testing mine out last week I'll probably end up getting a DNA dig for mine. My new steering servo will be here tomorrow so that will solve half of the turning struggles mine had. Other than that it worked like a champ for my first time out.

I'll have the 1.9 out as well. Found out the rest of the goodies I ordered will be here in time too:thumbsup:

From what I have heard, our club is going to do the demo on Sat. That is when the big race is and also the raffle. I spoke to John last night and he said the doors will be open at 7:00am on Sat. As for the meeting on Sun I would like to have it at noon, so that we have time to do a comp, after the meeting.

Just a couple of guys for Fri. are needed as for the time I would say whenever just to get a couple of rigs on the rocks to peak interest in the club and rock crawling.

I had a chance to crawl some last night on the completed course and great job guys. I was using my 2.2 scale crawler and it handled most everything just fine. There was a guy there a couple of weeks ago with the same tcs x-trail chassis as I have and the more you limit the travel the better this thing gets. Yours had a chevy pickup body if I remember correctly.

The best bet is to get an axial if you are in a hurry as they are the easiest to get parts for and that is what most start off with. If you can wait the new Losi should be out in the next month but you have to get your own electronics. Look around at the different threads on rccrawler.com or even here. It is all about what you want to spend though in the end. Hope that helps a little.

We're going to have to wait a little longer for the Losi rig. Here's a quote from Rich Trujillo on RcCrawler.

" Right now we're looking at Mid to late March. To be honest we're trying to get the worms just right. Some may or my not know this, but worms are not as efficient as standard ring and pinion gears. that being said, we really want to get this right and as you can see it will push the release date back a little."

Thanks,
Rich
