[bbyrd22]

ARK/LA/MISS CRAWLERS COMP #4

LOCATION: JACKSONVILLE, AR
WHEN: MAY 31st
TIME: Start comp @ 10:00 a.m.

Agenda: Two courses - One course up top with a 20 gate run. No time limit, just timed. 20 pt gate point out, No course point outs.
Second course at the stair step wall. Short course, 3 to 4 gates, from the bottom, starting on the rocks to
the top over the wall, all up hill. Same point rules as above.

Then, scale runs, whether it's through the courses or whatever.

Same rules, same points except for repairs, 5pt penalty.

I will visit JAX a week before the comp, take pics for backup of the site. Rain has let up so hopefully the waterfalls has receded.

If your new, I'll post directions upon request.

[DARKHORSE]

Can I get in on this one Brian?
I will have a few running soon enough for that if I am allowed:)

[JBHardwear]

Dang I thought you said tomorrow on the post, Well I just now walked in the door drove 105mph 87% of the way.Idea: How about a 1.9 scale comp. Points series comp. Rules to follow if interest. I think most of us have them.

or regular comp?

Last two weeks in May? Either one.

[chip cross]

I voted for a 1.9 comp here is some rules to give us some ideas.



(* The goal of these classes is to have a scale looking rig.)

The 1.9 scale class will be limited to all 1.9" rim sized rigs.

- This class is for the typical street legal rigs, that you run off road.
- You may cut down and modify a 2.2 tire to fit a 1.9 rim.
- All OEM 1.9" tires are legal, any modified tire can be no larger than 4.4"
- Track width can be NO more than 9.5" in the 1.9 class
- Flywheels brand wheels and tires and 1/18 scale Nylint brand wheels and tires will be allowed.
- You must run a complete body, including bumpers, fenders, doors & tailgates. Some fender trimming is allowed but the basic shape must be retained.
- A shortened or lengthened body is allowable. A tubed bed must have a functional bed area capable of carrying a full-size spare laid flat (rear fender and tailgate rules to not apply to tubed beds).
- No 4 wheel steer or rear steer at all! if you have more than 2 axles, the FRONT axles are the ONLY ones that can steer.
- No " DIG " of any kind is allowed.
- Wheelbase is limited only by your body, and must fit in your fender wells.
- Vehicle must have a frame-railed chassis. Tubed frame rails are ok.
- Vehicle wheelbase needs to fit within the fender walls of the body.
- Vehicle battery must be mounted on the chassis. You cannot mount the battery above the steering servo/axle/upper links. The goal is to place the battery where it is not visible for a more scale appearance.
- Vehicle must run a full approved body. Fenders may be cut, but it must resemble a 1:1 rig you'd see on the street. "Iffy" Vehicles must be approved by the other MTRCRC members.
- You may add weight to your wheels, but you are only allowed a maximum of 12 TOTAL oz's. You can put it in whichever wheels you want, but 12 oz is the total.

The 2.2 scale class will be limited to 2.2" rim sized rigs.

- This class is for the typical trail rigs, that you have modified quite a bit for off road.
- All 2.2" OEM tires are legal, any modified tire may only be 5.2" tall
- Track width can be NO more than 10.5" in the 2.2 class
- You must run a complete body, bumpers, including fenders, doors & tailgates. Some fender trimming is allowed but the basic shape must be retained.
- A shortened or lengthened body is allowable. A tubed bed must have a functional bed area capable of carrying a full-size spare laid flat (rear fender and tailgate rules to not apply to tubed beds).
- No 4 wheel steer or rear steer at all! if you have more than 2 axles, the FRONT axles are the ONLY ones that can steer.
- No " DIG " of any kind is allowed.
- Wheelbase is limited only by your body, and must fit in your fender wells.
- Vehicle must have a frame-railed chassis. Tubed frame rails are ok.
- Vehicle wheelbase needs to fit within the fender walls of the body.
- Vehicle battery must be mounted on the chassis. You cannot mount the battery above the steering servo/axle/upper links. The goal is to place the battery where it is not visible for a more scale appearance.
- Vehicle must run a full approved body. Fenders may be cut, but it must resemble a 1:1 rig you'd see on the street. "Iffy" Vehicles must be approved by the other MTRCRC members.
- You may add weight to your wheels, but you are only allowed a maximum of 12 TOTAL oz's. You can put it in whichever wheels you want, but 12 oz is the total.

[cspyy]

having a scale comp is fine with me but i dont think it should be tied directly into our already standing points. this would cause people that want to stay up in points to either build a whole nother rig or spend a butt load of money on their scaler they already have to be able to compete with the ones that will be there.

i know i spent a ton of money on building my "comp" rig, and WILL NOT build another one just to meet OTHER requirements so i dont drop out in points that i already have earned.

i have a pretty badass scaler right now, yea, but it doesnt crawl for schit, and i dont want to try and make it that way. the most fun i have at all comps, is the NON Comp play time with the scalers. Its just a bunch of bashing.

[chip cross]

If it's on the 24 or 25 of May I am out, I have a family reunion that weekend.

X2 I am cool with anything, just a good gtg and some follow the leader sounds good to me, I am easy:lol: As long as it is not Vista (my ankle is very mad at me:-()

I vote for the weekend after this^

[constantmotion]

I don't think we need to have 1.9 "Comp" just a GTG. We need a non pressure gathering. I would like just to have a GTG and play around with any rig we bring, any type scaler, 2.2 Comp rig, or Super. Maybe set up some gates and give the 1.9ers a whirl on a set course. Maybe have a trail ride through the course. Not too big on a follow the leader type run.

[truckerbuddy2]

im down for prety much anything... the more 1.9 friendly it is, the better i will adapt... :lol:

i voted for the shreveport location only because i have not been there yet.. but i am up for either location... i may take off friday and drive up early once we deside on a weekend to do it...

im prety sure my landy would be up for a scale comp, just not sure how that would go, sounds like it would be more like a tough truck competition.. in wich case we would definatly need jumps... :twisted:

[Nova's Ark]

I voted for a Shreveport comp. If you guys do it in Shreveport, my son and I and at least two more crawlers would attend. We would be driving out from Tyler, TX. That would be four 2.2's and two supers. I could very possibly get a few more crawlers if it's in Shreveport and there are no scheduling conflicts with TXRCRCA or Mother's Day. I'm subscribed so I'll see what you guys decide.

[SACCO]

Shreveport is not very nice to scalers.:roll:


In the rules stated above, cc-01's wouldnt be allowed? We should definately allow em.

I vote for a GTG too, no "comp" wording of any kind;-)"thumbsup"

[bbyrd22]

GTG, points off. I'm down with it.

I'm good with any date except May 17th/18th.

We can set up like we did last year. Follow the leader type runs.

Of course, Scaler GTG means JAX, and I'll check the tide for water flow.

I'm good with a GTG in JAX or comp in Shreveport.

[bbyrd22]

But of course. Not sure what were doing yet though. Just keep checking in here.

Can I get in on this one Brian?
I will have a few running soon enough for that if I am allowed:)

[drc323]

Ill come if it on a sunday

[JBHardwear]

Well the G-wagon is 110% water proof and Bash ready"thumbsup"

Sweet! We should have a bonus gate/section in the H20!!



How about this, one L O N G 2.2 course at jax for pts/comp, then an all out scaler run. That way we wont take forever on the comp part and can have tons more fun.:lol:

[bbyrd22]

20 gate or more course, no time limit, as usual. Depends on the setup. We could utilize the entire upper area for one monster course.

Then one more little course. A 3 gate run at the stair step wall. From the bottom rocks to the top of the wall.

Thats two courses, but one little run.

Then scale action.

May 31st????????????????????????

Mayflower seems a little too close to Spillway Rd. Looks to be about 15 miles (the way the crow files). Let's make sure that there not a "No Surfing" sign. :-P It does looks like you could do some surfing here, more so than the other spot.

Place looks good. Let's try it out, scout or no scout.

[truckerbuddy2]

if the new spot becomes a good crawler spot, is it still a fun for all gtg or is back up to 2.2 comp level?

but heck.. what i am be sayin... it dont make no matter, this aint no tx club, they already got like 3 in thier state alone... :shock:

but i aint gona tell em they cant run wit us.. :)

Sacco you still gonnarun with us when you move, or do I have to make the Kansas City drive to comp with ya:?:

Cspyy was at the Tyler comp for the TXRCRCA DFW comp #5 and he placed third(?). We have a very nice public park and they are continuing to add rock work to it. I can speak for several Tyler guys that we are very interested in starting a club for our area and want to get as many West Louisiana guys involved as possible. Yes, TXRCRCA has three chapters, but all the meets are in DFW and the drives are two hours plus and the terrain is questionable at times.

Tyler has three good spots currently. I am working on a rock garden at my home and the owner of one of the local landscape and stone companies has already expressed interest in building a RC Rock Crawler only course also. The details are yet to be determined but we have some things in the works.

I say all this to not step on anyone's toes but to honestly start a discussion and see what we could all possibly do together. I realize many people drive great distances and if that could be eliminated that would be great. I think we need more USRCCA clubs in order to give people the opportunity to compete at a high level and maybe do regional finals before the nationals. Let's face it, but the time summer hits, we are going to be looking at $4.25 for gas and $5.00 diesel. Local comps would benefit everyone. What do you guys think?

[JBHardwear]

I aint mad at no one. I just like being a keyboard cowboy every now and then:lol:



Cody, you can run in the texas comps and our comps, but we are the AR,LA, MS crawlers. We are most likely not gonna have a comp in texas. BBYRD runs in the Okie and our series', and has a blast. Jump in with the TX guys, have fun, maybe one or two of us will come too, but we cant have a points series event in texas. It wouldnt be fair to the whole "club"

[JBHardwear]

Any word on us becoming a recognized club:neutral:

[cspyy]

cutting my words out huh chip?

whatever, it was a suggestion

i wont make anymore

[blackcatnastang]

have we decided on a place yet. Might need some time to make reservations (i know my spellin sux So.......)

[bbyrd22]

have ya'll considered having one in tyler?

I will next time, unless it conflicts with others.


who all is going to the Memphis deal next weekend???

I might meet up with jeepcj578(Brian). Not sure yet. Three weekends in a row of being gone.

I will visit Tyler on occasion. First priority for me points wise is OKRCRC. ARK/LA/MISS is second, but mainly for the other guys to comp and GTG while making it count. Texas is far for most and Shreveport is stretching them, but still doable.

Any word on us becoming a recognized club:neutral:

Kevin said it shouldn't be a problem. He's sent the info to all mod's for approval and may take a couple weeks. I'll post it up once received.


have we decided on a place yet. Might need some time to make reservations (i know my spellin sux So.......)

I vote JAX with a two comp course, one monster course and one little one, then scale action.

I would also go to Shreveport, but that's mainly a comp location, some scaler, unless Cody has more areas around there.

I also vote May 31st.


I miss a couple days and people seem to be taking shots at each other and from my vantage, it seems to be in a non joking manner.

Can't we all just get along and have some fun. Lets drop the serious jabs and get back to having fun. Talking shit is always good, but make it be fun.

Don't make me have to put you guys in time out. We are a legit club, pending approval, we don't need this.

Thank you for all the help and advise you have givin me.You are my Idol;-) I am not as sad now that I map quested your new location, you are a closer drive for me now than you were.

You just let me know when and where after you get settled in and I will be there."thumbsup"

You get my PM? or you mad at me, puddin?

[bbyrd22]

Better charge your batteries for the first course.

I see about a twenty gate course. Long, tight, up, down, sideways. Using every bit of the upper area. Got some good ideas this past Saturday. No pre-running of course.

Also, the other course will be the stair step climb. Bottom to top.

It's on."thumbsup"

[rubiredunlmtd]

20 gates!!!!:shock: itll look like little lime green mushrooms sprouted everywhere!!

[bbyrd22]

20 gates!!!!:shock: itll look like little lime green mushrooms sprouted everywhere!!

I painted them black to cover up the number and arrows. Then tried to paint them yellow again. Didn't work out very good, but still serve there purpose.

[JBHardwear]

You get my PM? or you mad at me, puddin?
No.....I will not come stay the night with you the day before the comp so we can cuddle:shock:

The wife is having some problems with her baby bakin8) and the dr. doen't want her to be in the truck for 7+ hours, She said I could still go BUT if I do than I would have to use the money that I need to buy the SLASH :x:x O what to do What to do .......

I guess but man it suxs to have to sit one out and the comp spot just looks great!!

[Nova's Ark]

BUT if I do than I would have to use the money that I need to buy the SLASH :x:x O what to do What to do .......

Gas prices are ridiculously high. I know for me personally, I am finding myself planning ahead of time which comps to attend in order to save for gas. It's coming down to crawler parts or gas to go to comps.:-( I hope something can be done about these ridiculous prices soon. It would be nice to attend comps farther away to meet new people and crawl new terrain.

[SACCO]

I guess but man it suxs to have to sit one out and the comp spot just looks great!!


I may not run in the comp myself. My comp rig is in a thousand pieces and I just cant make myself put it back together.:-(

I am looking forward to watching some competition and tearing up a scaler or two though:lol:
