Default Birmingham Noob lookin for some rc family

So i just got into the rc crawling about 3 weeks ago. i bought a used wraith that s back halved and has some hop ups and I've recently added some of my own. i was looking to see if there is any groups or comps around the birmingham area. Im not sure how i feel about comp yet because I've never tried or even attended one. But i for sure want to find some people who just like to take em out and have some fun as well. and that may no some good places to ride at.

Hello. I'm from Mt Olive but frequent moss rock. My favorite local crawling spot. I am also looking for some more people to go crawl with. I have a scx10 jk, poison spyder wraith(both brushless of course) and a axial based 2.2 pro rig so I can be in the same class as just about anyone. I usually go down there on Wednesday afternoon if it isn't too nasty for a afternoon fun run. Would love to see more people on the trail. And of course Saturday or Sunday depends on who can go and when. Would love to get together a group and go soon

yeah sounds good man. Im still trying to get my wraith back to what i consider 100%. i added a but load of stuff and still haven't got mine right. I ended up doing a DMG stump back kit, custom front bumper, full rear steer, 3s, new HH 28t motor, VP lockers, OD gears, new wheels and tires, full bullet proof trans, and a 4pl. So other than having rear servo issues, needing a Bec, and recovering form all the money i just spent, Im still in test&tune mode. Hopefully i can hit you up in a week or two before it gets too hot and we can hit up Moss rock.

New here too. I live in Trussville, AL.

I purchased an Axial Rubicon Jeep this year and been working on some upgrades too. I don,t have a brushless setup yet as I'm not sure what platform to try first.

If you have room I'd like to get out of my backyard.

welcome to your new crack!!! as far as brushless platforms to try, id go with a mamba max pro esc and a holmes hobby trail master 3100kv. its a censored motor which gives you great speed ad torque and the ability to still crawl. i love mine. And of course we got room lol WE have actually a great spotlight here at my house with a giant creek bed if you have your rig waterproofed and a bunch of hill climbs and places to bash. We actually went today to tannehill state park and played around out there and i found some killer lines and spots. including a hill we dubbed stairway to heaven it would be a tough climb for a 1:1 rig. but pm me if ya want and ill get your number and we can go from there.
