We now have an indoor "Rock Crawling Course"! 20 tons of rocks were dumped inside this week. There is a hill climb area, 10' suspension bridge and courses for the comp crawlers as well as the "Scale" vehicles. Bring your crawlers!
The Store is in Stoneboro PA. 2 miles off I-79, exit 130, HWY 358
Address 482 Stoneboro Lateral Rd. Stoneboro, PA. 16153
1-724-376-2379
It's in the back section of the building, right now the area is about 20' x 20'. the plan is to keep it year round. We also have a big outside area that will be built up for crawling. There is no charge to test yet because it's not done. We should have it mostly done by May. We plan to have a suspension bridge that goes up 20' to the ceiling! We'll probably have 1 or 2 monthly events for prizes.
We added another 1000lbs. of rock and the suspended roadway to the ceiling is done! The roadway is 2' wide and about 40' long with 3 turns and a turnaround at the top about 15' in the air.
The crawler track will be open whenever the store is, we're thinking of having a regular competition every 3rd Sat. Start time would be 11:00am
There is some video of the crawling course under the dirt oval thread, we'll try to get it over here also. we're planning on doing our first event on May 26th, 11:00am. With no entry Fee, stay tuned for details!
We had another 10+ tons of rock dumped inside. Thanks goes out to Ryan and family for moving them around, we now have good courses for scalers and comp vehicles. Still looking at May 26th for our first event!
1st Rock Crawling Event this Saturday! Free entry if you bring rocks! Will have several drivers that have competed, to help if you need it. Store opens at 10:00am, competition begins at 11:00. Novice class for the new drivers.
The first event went good, we started at 11:00 and were done around 3:00
We need to have a regular monthly event to keep the interest up and grow the participation. We're thinking the 3rd Sat. of each month.
We have 6 or 7 different RTR Rock Crawlers in the store, still to early to tell what the most popular one is.
Will keep you posted!
A couple crawlers stopped by on Sunday while I was there racing. They were alot of fun to watch. I didn't know the guys but they definitely knew what they were doing. Amazing! I have been eyein them up over the past year or so, would love have one someday.
Here's a couple pics and a video......
Most places usually do time and points. You typically have 10 gates to pass thru in "x" amount of time, usually 7min to 10mins for the course.
Not sure if that how you guys run the comps there, but that how they were when I used to run them for the past couple years before I got into racing.
Example:
Use Reverse +1
Hit a Gate +10
Roll Over +5
Touch (if you had to pickup to reset truck) +10
Progress thru each gate -1
Time left -1pt for each min left.
It mostly points, you get points for mistakes like needing to back up or rolling over. The one with the least points wins. The scale crawlers get minus-points for scale details like a winch, so they start the competition below zero.
If you google SORRCA you should find details
chris, thats how Ryan was judging the comps, although right now it's more for fun than being completely serious.
If you check over rccrawler.com and look in th Regional/Pennsylvania section, he's there under the user Tin Soldier. Plus he has a posterboard ad at the shop by the crawler course.
Getting close to being done with my crawler. Need to finish some minor details like the body and program the ESC. Runs good though. Using a Venom 1300mah 3s LiPo mini pack for Traxxas 1/16 cars/trucks. Just velcroed it to the battery tray.:thumbsup:
Scored a 59 in the comp yesterday. Good for 4th place out of 8. Found I need to move some weight around a little. Need more in the front tires and moved the battery to the front.:thumbsup:
Going to have to take some drag brake out so I don't flip over when I stop on downhills.
