yea... me too... hmmm... does Keith deserve a good body or a bad body... :jest:

well i cant say on here what im thinking... well talk:thumbsup:

Jim......flyer looks good to me:thumbsup:

As far as hot, naked chicks...how about we talk to those roller derby girls:rolleyes:

I am planning on Friday night...I have my axial set up for rock racing right now...can't wait to see what you think of my insanly fast setup...it's almost not drivable. Actually, crawling with it is not possible, so I will have to rework it before I hit the pile:drunk:

Sweet, you could run it on the off road track!

I was thinking of converting mine over once the Losi crawler came out. Rip the dig off of it and put external springs back on it, and a 13.5 or 10.5 motor!

I've also been contemplating some MOA Berg axles for it as well once the R&P finally decide to go out.

$60 to replace the R&P with another set that will self destruct in a couple months.
$90 for bone stock Axial axles
$150 for modded Axial Axles
$200 for MOA Berg Axles

can someone email me a flyer so I can post it on my site and I think a couple of us will be there!!!!!

On it's way to you!

got it

thanks

Ok, bad news and good news on the rocks for finishing the course. With the load restrictions still in place, they do not have anyone scheduled to be there tomorrow morning (Saturday). Good news, if it can be made to work. There will be a second shift on site until 10 or 11 tonight if we want to go get the rocks tonight instead of tomorrow.

Let me know!!!!!!

I can do rock moving tonight, if everyone else can. I will be there around 6:00pm

Might as well get it over with while we can. I'll be there around 5:30 or so

I can't. My car is still in the shop. I am not sure if my beater can make it that far. It is running pretty rough.

Sorry guys. :cry:

Very fun day on the pile today. We ran the 1.9s on the new course today and it went very well. Big thanks to Andy for laying it out and supervising construction.

I will try to get results posted tomorrow.

Everything went pretty well yesterday. The 1.9 course still needs some adjustments to smooth it out a little bit. The 2.2 runs were smooth again, and the final course was very difficult, but very fair.

The only thing we still need to work on is our starting times. There seemed to be a lot of waiting around for the start yesterday. We need to all be at the track and ready to run at 1pm, not walk through the door at 1pm. If your going to run late call one of us to let us know, like Erv did.

yea or pay double:thumbsup:

I think Erv's effort on the pick axe has his debt covered.

????? pick axe?
What did I miss this Sunday?

Don't worry, the rock pile is still intact. We were doing some redesign on the indoor dirt track and Erv grabbed the pick axe and was helping to break up some of the jumps. He was by far the best of any of us at wielding it.

Hey Erv, I was surfing the Internet and found this. Slap some lexan panels on it and you would have a scale tuber. Looks like it bolts right to the AX frame.

It is here http://www.tcscrawlers.com/ON-SALE-1-2-OFF-TCS-Edge-AX10-Scorpion-Direct-Bolt-on-Tube-Frame-Black-US-Patent-Pending-Now-Semi-Gloss-p-16621.html

Everyone thinks the courses I setup are hard. Check this one out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFZHSBf5b2A

ERV
I HAVE ONE OF THESE NEW WITH HARDWARE AND BODY PANELS 30.00 SHIPPED

Erv, check your pm's. Hopefully I sent it to the right person. :) I stopped by Rivertown on 10 mile and they had that rock pleaser body so I had him set it back if you are interested.

Should we start a new thread for the 'BigComp'....Solid info needs to be available in one place. I want to post about our comp on a few threads that I frequent on other forums, but all we have is this thread? Or is the comp info up somewhere else I don't know about?

Any action on the 'BFRC' web page yet? (I'm not bitch'n, just ask'n)

speaking of websites....John, when are you going to add rockcrawling info to the menu at battlefrontgaming.com? That would actually be the best (and easiest?) ...directions and everything are already there. Just need 'Rock Crawling' on the side menu...then add a 'special event'. Also should have the 'regular' comp and practice times/fees listed just like the racers have. Pretty-pleeeeease John:)

I really want to get the word out, but not having links makes for a lot of repetitive typing....and references to constantly changing info (forum threads) are annoying to follow.

Is the edge offer open to anyone if Erv doesn't want it?

What tires are everybody using? Got a truck coming but it has the stock axial tires. I'm thinking rock claws or chisels. Any Opinions?

Tom H.

P.S. The truck has DIGGGG!:dude:

My vote is for chisels or HB rovers. they are both 5.5 inches tall and have a lot of traction. Both can be found at http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Tires-p-1-c-77.html The chisels come with over sized mem foam. The hb rovers come with under sized standard foam.

Everyone that I know of including myself that was running the claws has switched over to the chisels. There is one guy that runs the hb rovers in our club and he does very well with them.

Sweet, I look forward to crawling with you. I own 1 set of Claws... 1 set of Panther Cougars, 1 set of Chisels and the rock lizards. My two favorite sets are the chisels and cougars. There overall size is bigger than the claws. There compound is also alot stickier than the claws. I like the pattern of the Claws better, but they just can't compete with these newer tires. Hot Bodies are well liked also. If you check out the MidWest Axial Indoor comp videos on RCCrawler forum you will notice that 95% of everyone was running either, Cougars, Chisels, or HB's.

Anything you buy will be better than the rock lizards. They really suck as a rock crawler. The give me great traction on my RC-10... but really destroy my ability to turn. It is quite funny to watch.

See ya on the Rocks

Jim S (Aka WyldWeazel)

Thanks for the info, forgot about the Rovers. I would really like a set of Losi Comp Claws, but they aren't available yet. Hopefully will be by the 26th.

Tom... one more comment. The Chisels are the largest tire available, I believe. That really helps with clearing large rocks without hanging up. I tested mine for the first time tonight. They made a lot of spots that I could do semi easy before, with my panthers, extremely easy with the chisels.

Jim S.

I haven't heard about those yet. I will have to read up on them.

Thanks for the info.

Jim S.

Hey Tom I have an extra set of White compound Rovers I'd be willing to give you a deal on. They do need inserts. The stock inserts that come with them aren't worth a damn. I run Panther soft crawler inserts (Non Memory foam ones).

And yes I'm "that guy" who runs them and I think they're killer

Jim, the Comp Claws are Losi's newest tire that's soon to be released. There's some pretty good pics and write up on RCCrawler of them. I'm looking to get a set to try. Maybe I should get that Berg as well, that way I can really be "That Guy", Haha! After watching some vids of the Midwest Comp an MOA rig is very tempting

And yes I'm "that guy" who runs them and I think they're killer

Calm down Andy don't type angry. :lol:

I think I'll pass on the tuber deal this time, but thanks anyway.
My crawler is comp. ready now, so I'm puttin my cash in my
SLASH at this point. If I go tuber it will be a TCS one for the
Losi MRC.:cool:

Hey Erv, did you get my message about the Rock Pleaser body?

Anyone have or seen the kyosho rock crawler???

Got word my rig is on the way woot woot should have her up n runnin by next weekend i hope:thumbsup:

Sweet!

Any action on the 'BFRC' web page yet? (I'm not bitch'n, just ask'n)


Yes I have the domain name and I am trying to work on it as time permits. If someone has any expirence with webdesign and is willing to work on it let me know. I will be there this Sunday. By the way the website address is www.battlefrontcrawlers.com

:thumbsup:

Thanks for the offer Andy, but being the impatient P.H. that I am I ordered a set last night, about the time you were posting:mad: Now just got to figure out what foams for them.


Tom

about the time you were posting:mad:
Haha, that's b/c I'm not a post whore. I posted one message on the off-road thread this time yesterday and this morning it's 10 pages back!


Now just got to figure out what foams for them.
Tom - A lot of people are running memory foams, but I don't like them. They just don't feel right to me, too stiff. Maybe this summer outdoors when it warmer out they would be better. I like the soft Panther crawler foams. I also narrowed them 1/2".

Here some photos of XXX new ride check it out Bad ASS.

Photo #2

It looks good now! But after your first comp. that thing is gunna
look like the bottom of a rental canoe with you at the wheel.
Are you bustin it out on sunday or just gunna look at it.
