I'm in Clay, just north of Trussville. I've seen posts from some folks close around here.

My crawler's still on the bench but I'd like to come watch if y'all get together one day.

Hi, I am Joe and I live in Berry, AL. It is in Fayette county about 45 minutes from Tuscaloosa. I work in Tuscaloosa. I am getting into crawling soon! I am probably the only person in Fayette county that is into RC. Well they might be 2 more that I know of but mostly planes. I am buying an AX10 hopefully within the next couple of weeks. I havent been to any comps and dont know a whole lot about them so I am not sure if I will be getting into competing or just crawling for fun. I have been studying everything I can about crawlers so when I get it I will know a little bit on settingit up to get good performance. I have started getting a bunch of decent sized rock that I plan on building a crawling pile with in my back yard.

[Douginala]

Hello Joe,

It's good to have you aboard. This is a very active group. The more you read the more you learn. Almost every conceivable subject has been covered somewhere.

I read the newbie posts nearly every day.

Stay in touch.

[nascarkeith]

I'm in Brookwood a few miles from the Mercedes plant. I have family in Centerpoint and Altoona so I am around those areas as well. I would love to get a chance to see how my skills and rigs stack up to everyone else. I'm sure I'd get spanked but any day crawling is fun.

[rctoyguy]

Hey guys... I just found this thread. I've been poking around the forum here, trying to learn what I can. So far, the biggest thing I've learned is that I want a crawler!! It's cool to see this much interest in the area.

[wireman]

Hey brookwood im planing on going somewhere thurs afternoon .my name is larry m .Let me know if you want to play.

[wireman]

I am clad to see some crawlers in my side of the world .I go to
as many comps that i can .I see someone berry and brookwood .I live in coaling .if you guys want get together and crawl LET ME KNOW.

[TyConway]

Hey Doug, have you had your crawler out? I'm almost finished with a new and improved tube chassis thats a lot more appealing to the eyes...

[promatchrcr]

Ty, if I can get my dig repaired Saturday (servo burnt up again) I will email or call you, we may go Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon to Trussville again.

[Douginala]

Hey Doug, have you had your crawler out? I'm almost finished with a new and improved tube chassis thats a lot more appealing to the eyes...

Hello Ty,

I have had the WK out twice and broke the steering both times. I've got to do a major fix but can probably get it going for this week-end. It's really a pretty good crawler. It exceeds my expectations.

I got rid of the stock wheels and tires and put the G-Hawgs on it with beadlocks. I put bbs in there too. Big difference.

If y'all come up here one afternoon text me. I've got family stuff and church stuff all weekend but might can slip away for a little while.

Maybe we can let Jeff and Jay know too.

Thanks for staying in touch.

Doug

[twistedsmily]

yo Im from Mobile area dont have a crawler at the moment but give me till the end of next week going to try to get a rtr ax10 and run it stock for a while

[Douginala]

rctoy-

Glad you got in touch. Email me with your cell number if you like and we'll try to let you know when we go out.

We can get together at Deerfoot Baptist Church.

[Douginala]

up... down... practically the same thing...

that's what happens when you get old ;-)

[wireman]

I need to crawl this weekend.Whos going where?Im going to rca comp next sunday .Jay limit the travel Alot.

[rctoyguy]

I originally had a race Saturday (2wd electric off-road), but now I'm not so sure --- so I might be in for watching a little crawling Saturday after all. Doug, I'll drop you a note, and Jay knows how to get in touch with me.

[Douginala]

This is good. If any of the Clay guys go out maybe we can get in touch with each other.

I reckon I'd better get hot on my little steering problem.

Hey doug and TY, I am from the trussville area and go to deerfoot church when i am home from school. I should be home this coming up weekend but am not sure. what day are yall getting together? I went up there last weekend and saw where yall (i am guessing) had moved around a bunch of rock

hey twisted, I am in mobile too. I moved down here to finish up school. There really isnt anywhere down here to crawl but there are some mississippi guys that live about 45 minutes from here who have found a decent place. I havent been there yet but hope to soon. Have you found anywhere to crawl?

Let me know. What kind of travel miles is it to Springville? I just got done at Monte Sano mountain ealier tonight, tons of good crawling action there.

I lost a kingpin screw though :-(. My 3900 battery lasts forever, or at least a lot longer than I do.

Ty when you thinking about trying to get everyone around here together?

[Douginala]

Hello everybody,

I'm looking for 4-40 all-thread rod. It would be nice if I can find some close around (Clay, Trussville, etc.). I've checked LHS, Ace, and big boxes.

Ty, Jeff, Jay, Don, anybody...

Ty, let's get everybody together. I'll be gone til Sunday noon but will be free after that.

Thanks,
Doug

[rctoyguy]

I don't have any - but it looks like I have sold my 2wd race truck, so I'm that much closer to owning a crawler. I'm keeping an eye out for used stuff, but if I go new, here is my plan - please critique...
Axial ARTR
Novak Rooster Crawler combo (brushed)
1550maH 2c MaxAmps Lipo (currently in my RC18B)
Spektrum (already in hand)
Servo - ??? Gotta be low end for now.

Axial ARTR

Servo - ??? Gotta be low end for now.

Wow. Sounds like a very nice rig. You'll whoop the pants off my WK and me.

You might like to look at the Hitec HS 645 MG.
That's what I plan next for my WK.
The stock servo is OK but I'm told this will be a big improvement.
I'd like the other's opinions too.

[rctoyguy]

I'm thinking that will all hit me right at $400 - which is really more than I need to think about, but I can dream.

The Axial Kit would be my 2nd choice, but it isn't much less than the ARTR, and I hear the ARTR is worth it for the tires if nothing else.

I've also considered the RTR, but I know I'd be replacing stuff right away with it - I don't care for the plastic links, etc.

[Douginala]

When I started all this I had my heart set on the Axial but they were, and had been, out of stock forever. Furthermore, nobody had any idea when they might be available. In that light I opted for the WK and don't regret it. It was reasonably priced and the conversion has been a really fun learning experience.

Since you're seasoned in the hobby something a step up from the WK will probably be smart. That way you won't be tempted to want to trade up almost immediately.

Maybe we can go over to the church Sunday PM. I'll try to get in touch with you.

[Douginala]

Speaking of Wheely-Kings, I want to buy another one.

I'm in tha market for a used one but might have to break down and get one new. My plan is to use the parts for a 4X4 scale off-roader.

I figure that the axles, transmission, ESC, receiver and transmitter, and servo are worth $200. I'm thinking about how to rework the shocks and even use them, or at least machine new housings and use the guts, including the o-rings. If I can salvage all that for $200 I think I'll be satisfied. And, if I can find one used it'll be even better.

I would like opinions on this project too.

[rctoyguy]

Another new guy to Crawling in Clay (friend of mine and jay's) just bought a Wheely King he is going to convert - I have also looked at doing that.

[Douginala]

Well, I sure have enjoyed mine. It's a great entry level crawler IMHO. And it's a pretty darn good crawler. It won't do what these thousand dollar rigs will but it's just fine for me.

If your buddy has any questions with the conversion I'll be more than happy to help as best I can.

[Master Basher]

do you have some good meeting places? good rock crawling spots? I'm interested, but I'd really planned on running my HPI 1/10th this Sunday at the local Hobbytown get together.

Long drive, but the convertible and some nice weather might make it alright!

Hey , remember telling you about my friend that was 15, well his WK crawler needs some stuff... like motor and esc, but axles and trans are good, chassis is the widow king, but im sure he would part with it, b/c he has no money to ever put it back together.

[promatchrcr]

so is he wanting to sell it? If so I may be interested.

[TyConway]

so is he wanting to sell it? If so I may be interested.

It sounds like promatch has first refusal on the WK but I am also interested. Keep me in mind.

Please email me with a price and where your buddy and Promatch stand on this.

I hope to get to Deerfoot for a while tomorrow (Sunday) PM. I'll try to get up with everybody.

Maybe mid-afternoon.

yea i'm just not a fan of a bunch of small rocks... Turkey creek has some piles like the ball park and it has some bigger rock formations, but you have to deal with all the drunks and druggies that are always there.

[TyConway]

well today me and my buddy started cleaning out this old shed thats by his house... its dirt floor but figured we would build an indoor crawler course, like shape it with dirt and pour a mixture of concrete to make it like a rock, but we still have a lot of cleaning out to do. I have a skid steer so it should make the movement of dirt go fast, we had a pretty nice 1/10th scale dirt track in another old shed, but recently tore it down. but this building is 25ft wide and about 60 long. so plenty of room to put obstacles in.

[rctoyguy]

Awesome! Where is it, and I would volunteer to help when I can.

Me, Jay, and Doug went out to Trussville ball park this afternoon for a little while. I don't have a truck yet, and Doug is finishing his, so we basically watched Jay - LOL - it was still fun. I am amazed at what these trucks will do.

[TyConway]

Just up in springville, not far from clay... right now my work schedule is crazy, and im on the road alot... i find and buy timber and land for Tennessee Valley Land and Timber. Right now not having too good of luck but I hope this up coming weekend to get a full days worth of work in.
Just this rain lately has got to me, i wanna be able to crawl anytime...night or day...

I sold my Rustler today, so the money is there to get a crawler, just need to get the approval from the boss!

[GhostRyder]

Well, I hate that you sold that stuff. I guess I'm partly to blame for not being able to race this summer. Oh well.

[rctoyguy]

No biggie - we'll still run 1/18 this winter. Those are a little more frequent and easy to attend.

How is the Wheely King build coming?

And Doug, how is *your* Wheely King build coming?

[Douginala]

Slow so far this week. It's been very busy but we have to pay the bills somehow.

I hope to be free around Noon or so today and plan to get on the steering problem then.

I've got a birthday party tomorrow PM for a couple of hours (yipee) but will be around other than that. Maybe you can take the WK for a spin.

I think Ty will be in town too.

[Douginala]

Rockcrawler, can we call you if we go out?

[Douginala]

Ok everybody.

The steering's ok. Not exactly what I want, but ok for now. I used the 4-40 rather than 8-32.

A battery is on the charger.

So... what's the hold up here ???

http://www.members.aol.com/doughulen/images/steering.jpg

[promatchrcr]

What up, homies? Promatchrcr and rctoyguy finally get me to register on here.


OH man.....there goes the neighborhood.:mrgreen:

[promatchrcr]

I sold my Rustler today, so the money is there to get a crawler, just need to get the approval from the boss!

If you sold "your" Rustler....where does the "boss" come into play? BY A CRAWLER NOW!!!! "thumbsup"

Cool Doug! Jerry and I have got to go load up our old track stuff that is stored at the hobby shop and make a run to the dump before that tomorrow and afterwards I have plans so I doubt tomorrow I will be running anywhere but after church Sunday I might be able to meet up.

[Rockcrawler]

Rockcrawler, can we call you if we go out?


Sure thing man. Not sure when I will be up but the phone stays on silent....just call before you guys head out. I will PM you my number...

[Douginala]

Looks like Sunday after church will be our best bet to go out.

Ty, call me anytime so I can meet you for a minute.

Rockcrawler, I'll call you when this comes together.

[TyConway]

So what time and what day? someone call or text me and let me know...

[promatchrcr]

Tomorrow after church sometime.....maybe 3 or so? I'll text you tomorrow and let you know for sure.

[Rockcrawler]

Well, we were trying to decide when we were going to move. Well, we started today so I wont make it down tomorrow guys. :x

[promatchrcr]

That's cool, let me know if you need any help.

[yukon635]

anyone up for some crawling on tomorrow? I may be going to deerfoot since I dont have the money to drive to the comp this weekend

[promatchrcr]

I will be at the hobby shop most of the day tomorrow but I could go somewhere Sunday after church probably.

[yukon635]

I will be at the hobby shop most of the day tomorrow but I could go somewhere Sunday after church probably.

well with the rain today, no crawling :-(

I am up for tomorrow if it doesnt rain. I pm'd you

[wireman]

Any pics of the rocks at that church?

[promatchrcr]

Yukon, I called you and left a message, if we go anywhere tomorrow I will call you.

Wireman, I don't have any but someone else might. I will give you a a call too if we decide to go anywhere. It will be after church if I go anywhere.

[wireman]

Thank you .call early so i can meet you over that way when you get out of church.

[rctoyguy]

Nothing to crawl with, but I'd like to go if the timing works out... PMR, give me a shout.

[promatchrcr]

I may not go today, I am waiting to hear from my neighbor, I got ot get my lawnmower running and he is supposed to help work on it.

rctoyguy- call me when you are free try the house first then my cell

[promatchrcr]

Guys, sorry I coldn;t make it today...just to many things going on. Maybe some of us can get together one afternoon this week.

[Douginala]

Guys, sorry I coldn;t make it today...just to many things going on. Maybe some of us can get together one afternoon this week.

I'd like to get out one afternoon this week too. Y'all let me know.

We helped cater a wedding Saturday night which pretty well killed the weekend.

I'll also try to get some pictures of the rocks at the church. I may already have a couple.

What's the story on red and blue shock springs for the WK?

[Douginala]

Any pics of the rocks at that church?

I apologize for the awful quality of the pictures. It's a long story.

But, it'll give some idea about the smaller of the rocks.

hey Jay, give me a hollar when you think you can go. i called you today but i guess you were at work. I went up there today for about two hours and found some sick lines

[wireman]

Are those pics at that church?

yukon , did you ever get that pic i sent you?

[Douginala]

Are those pics at that church?



That's the one.

[wireman]

That might be worth an after work drive.

[Douginala]

That might be worth an after work drive.

It's a neat place.

Ty got me started going there.

A couple of guys are trying to get out one afternoon this week. If it comes together we'll be sure to post as early as we can.

[promatchrcr]

Yukon, Sorry man, I had a long Monday....did you leave a message?

What afternoon works for everyone to try and shoot for? I know Wednesday is out because of church so any one have any ideas?

[Douginala]

What afternoon works for everyone to try and shoot for? I know Wednesday is out because of church so any one have any ideas?

Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. I'm flexible. Or at least try to be.

[yukon635]

I am game for any day this week. Yall just let me know when.

Hey wireman, i got the pic. I saw that big rock, but you got a bigger picture that shows more of the area and rocks? I may try to get down there this week

[rctoyguy]

WooHoooo. I bought a crawler tonight guys. It's a Wheely King that will need work - LOL - but the basic stuff is there to build from. First off, I know it needs all new upper links, and all of the steering linkages - not sure what all else. Heck, I've looked at so many, they kind of all run together. I just bit the bullet and bought it... I found it here in the for sale area.

Have yall ever had any problems with the people at Deerfoot Baptist giving you trouble about being there? I'm just curious... I am a pretty active member of that church. Not that I have any pull or could do anything about it - I'm just curious.

[promatchrcr]

Cool man!

I think Yukon said he has had folks run him off before if I remember right. That really surprised me too, maybe if it that was the case it was just an isolated incident. I would think someone would invite you to come visit instead. "thumbsup"

[Rockcrawler]

Yeah, me and Yukon got told to Not come back. :lol:

[yukon635]

Yeah, me and Yukon got told to Not come back. :lol:

yep, I know a few people that go to church up there too. I just go when there isnt church stuff going on (sundays and wed). I went up there yesterday and there were about 30-40 cars there but nobody said anything. i will probably be going again today with some gate markers if anyone wants to come out

[rctoyguy]

Tuesday nights are Grow outreach nights, so there could be some folks there. I have no idea what was going on last night.

Anyway... Who all is going to the comp on the 9th? I have been given a hall pass for that day, so I'll be there!

[Douginala]

Yeah, me and Yukon got told to Not come back. :lol:

We need to handle this immediately. I'll look into it.

Yukon: What time will you be there this PM? Maybe I can meet up with you.

[wireman]

if i saw a yukon and a rockcrawler on my rocks id be mad to

[promatchrcr]

Well with the weather being bad it is making it hard to go crawl anywhere ..........

I will be there the 9th, and plan to have fun regardless of how bad I do,LOL

Yukon, you home for school for a while? If you are around home during lunch one day we should meet up and grab lunch, I work right outside Trussville.

[yukon635]

Hey Jay, yeah i am home for a few weeks. I will be in and out of town so just hit me up and we can go somewhere

[Douginala]

I've been in touch with the church and the person I need to talk to is on vacation this week.

I expect that we can work this out with them. I think though, that it might be wise for us to avoid going up there until I can get an appointment and discuss what's going on with the person who has authority to say yes or no.

It would not do our case any good for one of us to have a run-in with the wrong person in the meantime.

I'll appreciate your cooperation and if all goes well we'll have a good place to run without fear of reproach.

Thanks,
Doug

[promatchrcr]

Cool Doug, keep us posted.

[Douginala]

Cool Doug, keep us posted.

Will do. Thanks.

I'm keeping my eyes open for some other spots just in case.

[Douginala]

I suppose I should be more precise.

Actually, we've got balls. Tennis balls.

I've got about a dozen which I'll get cut in half like we talked about.

Is anybody going to try to get out this weekend?

[promatchrcr]

I might be able to Sunday, tomorrow is Em's B'day so we are going out to eat tomorrow afternoon and then catch a movie. I might have other plans Sunday afternoon but it is early to to tell.

[yukon635]

I am up for sat. if anyone wants to get together

[Rockcrawler]

I might be able to make it tomorrow. Just cant drive too far. I'm broke and trying to save money for Nationals. I also have to drive to Rock City next weekend.

[Douginala]

I am up for sat. if anyone wants to get together

Yukon: I've got some stuff after lunch but should be free by 4:30 or 5:00.
Email me your number and I'll call you.

Maybe we can go to the ball fields.

Anybody else interested?

[Rockcrawler]

Got any pics or a general area? :lol:

[Douginala]

Got any pics or a general area? :lol:

Hey Jeff,

No pix but it's easy to find.

We've pretty much decided to avoid the church for a few more days.

You can take 59-N to exit 141.
Bear right onto Chalkville Road.
Go a mile or so to Poplar Street.
Turn left to the Y intersection.
Turn right then drive past the school and look for the signs to the "Trussville Sports Complex".
Turn left and follow the main road.
Cross the stone bridge and follow your nose and the ball fields will be on your left.

Would you like for me to call you?

[Rockcrawler]

Na, I am good with directions (I have a GPS) . :lol:

[yukon635]

I might be able to do something around 4-5 but the earlier the better.

[Rockcrawler]

How much rock is there? I just need a good place to crawl and check my rig. Since I live in Vance now, its not that much further for me to drive to Rock City. :lol:

[yukon635]

hell if you want to go to rock city, I am down for that "thumbsup". I would just like to go early

[Rockcrawler]

How early? I have to finish cleaning the house when I get off at 7 in the morning. :roll:

[rctoyguy]

if yall start to go somewhere around Trussville Sat, drop me an email - jeffwyatt -at- charter.net

I don't have my truck yet, but I would still like to see some crawling if it works out where I can.

[Douginala]

The ball fields are pretty rough stuff. Actually it's a ditch that runs alongside the fields.

It's a little much for me but I'm gonna give it a try.

[Douginala]

BTW

I'm looking for an extra Wheely King body if anybody has one they want to sell.

Used, even well used is fine, but not cut.

Thanks,
Doug

[Rockcrawler]

Anyone getting out early?

[Rockcrawler]

Doug, have you heard anything about the church yet? I was really wanting to go up there today. Thats the only place that I know of to crawl around here without going to Rock City.

[Douginala]

Doug, have you heard anything about the church yet? I was really wanting to go up there today. Thats the only place that I know of to crawl around here without going to Rock City.

It's a great place. I just don't want to cause difficulty before I can talk to big dog on Monday.

[Rockcrawler]

Ok. Thats cool.

[rctoyguy]

I spotted somewhere yesterday that may or may not be good. I was driving, and it was far enough from the road that I couldn't tell alot... but it's at another church LOL... I forgot the name of the church, but you local Trussville/Clay guys will know where it is.
It's the newly built church on Trussville-Clay road, near the new civic center that's being built - near service road.

[Douginala]

Jay- The gate markers are ready.

I have a new respect for tennis balls. I had no idea they were made to withstand a nuclear blast.

Good idea. I know where you're talking about. I'll try to ride by there today.

[promatchrcr]

Doug- Cool, yeah I figure that might tough,LOL......

rctoyguy-I know where you are talking about we provided doors/hardware for that project and the community center. Several rocks, smaller but they look like it might be fun non the less.

[promatchrcr]

Doug and I are planning on meeting maybe around 3:30 or so at the Trussville Sports Complex if anyone is interested.

[tanmonster]

Let me know when your crawling next and I'll come. (that is, if its alright with you)

[rctoyguy]

Hey Tanmonster... we'll give you a shout. I think everyone is going to the comp this coming weekend - are you going to go?

[promatchrcr]

Let me know when your crawling next and I'll come. (that is, if its alright with you)

Yeah man, that's cool. PM me your cell # too, sometimes we decide go with to short of a notice for the forums.
You should go next weekend with us to the comp (Little Rock City)

[Douginala]

Good news on Deerfoot Church

I had a very pleasant visit with Mr. David Nelson this morning and he could not have been any nicer.

He approved crawling there subject to a few (very reasonable) restrictions.


All day Sunday and after 3:00 PM Wednesday are off limits.
Don't move his rocks around.
No trash, cigarette butts, etc.
Maximum crowd of 6 or so at any one time.
Everyone should be advised that anybody without a church home is welcome to visit Deerfoot Church any time.He asked that we all make a note of his name and if questioned tell them that he approved our being there. He also will supply us with some of his business cards so that each of us can carry one with us.

I personally appreciate him giving approval and am thankful that it worked out well. It really is a great place to crawl.

Also, I appreciate everybody's cooperation while this deal was up in the air.

Thanks,
Doug

[promatchrcr]

That's great, very reasonable terms too. Good job Doug!

[Douginala]

That's great, very reasonable terms too. Good job Doug!

Thanks, I was happy to handle it. I'm glad that it was a success.

I, too, thought that the terms were more than reasonable. Nothing but common sense and common courtesy really.

Also, Jay, I appreciate the links. I'm going to try to get time this afternoon to digest them all.

Yes you did, and I appreciate every one of them. Lots of good information there.

Did you catch Jeff's pix of the place for Saturday?

http://www.alabamarockcrawlers.com/10.html

Just click the first link.

[tanmonster]

I'll be there I hope. If I can't I will tell you.

[hiddenunderthecrawler]

[Rockcrawler]

[hiddenunderthecrawler]

if yall come in from the back of tabor from 68 or come down 411 to leedsburg to 68 it shouldnt be bad (not allot of yard sales on that side normally) it just gets packed up near the falls (it has took me over an hour to go from the falls to my house before and i live 15 miles away from the falls)

I hate to be thick, Hidden, but how should we go from Birmingham?

[hiddenunderthecrawler]

i would just stay on I-59 to collinsville and come up 68 like your maps show that should work just fine.

[tanmonster]

Thats the way I always come to LRC.

[yukon635]

hey guys, with gustav getting close, i may be forced to come back to trussville here in the next day or so to avoid the bad weather. If so, is anyone up for getting up at deerfoot?

[Rockcrawler]

Depends on when you come. I would be up for tomorrow or Monday. "thumbsup"

Just call me.

[yukon635]

it would have to be monday since sundays are off limits cause of church stuff all day.

I am waiting on what Gov. riley says tomorrow around lunch time

[yukon635]

well, looks like school in on for tuesday:evil: so looks like i wont be making this trip back this time unless something changes at the last minute

[Douginala]

Oops, looks like Gustav strikes Yukon.

I can probably get out a while Monday afternoon if anybody's interested.

We can go to Deerfoot Church just fine.

[promatchrcr]

Doug, I might be able to meet you. We headed home yesterday since we saw no reason to stay another day and drive home in the bad weather. It took us almost 8hrs to drive home because traffic was so bad! Email or call me this afternoon before you head out.

[Douginala]

Will do. Glad you made it in ok. I can imagine that traffic was a nightmare.

Looks like Rockcrawler might come too. I'll stay in touch.

[rctoyguy]

Sorry guys, I'd like to, but I'm at work... If I can get out, we have other plans anyway.

[Rockcrawler]

Are we sure that the church isn't being used as a shelter?

[promatchrcr]

I don't think it is, we will let you know in a bit! :)

[puba187]

hey guys i would love to come and check out one of your events or meetings or whatever. john (madmaxx r/c) and i are thinking about including a rock crawler course out at his place but we have no idea about this sort of thing. we have got a bunch of rocks piled up behind the track that we have been testing my axial out on but we would really like to so some other rigs in action.

[yukon635]

Okay, so I will be in town thursday afternoon if anyone wants to meet up at the church and do some crawling in the late evening, say after 4 pm

[promatchrcr]

I might Yukon, work is crazy right now so I may still be there after 4pm. I will let you if I can come out.

[promatchrcr]

I only live about 2-3 miles from his track and several of us go crawl at Deerfoot Baptist from time to time. Try and watch the thread (as Yukon posted below) we try and give everyone a heads up if we go some where close by to crawl so you can come and check ours out when we go. In this area there are 7 of us: 3 within a few miles and Yukon is in Trussville along with Jerry and then 2 more out around Moody/Odenville. I am sure we will meet up down the road sooner or later.

[RXcrawler]

I might be able to make it out Thursday

[Douginala]

Thursday sounds good to me. Y'all let me know.

Puba, if you'd like, pm me your phone number and I can call you if it comes together.

[puba187]

i won't be able to make it out there this thursday but john said he would try to head up there pending the weather. what time are you guys gonna be up there?

[Douginala]

i won't be able to make it out there this thursday but john said he would try to head up there pending the weather. what time are you guys gonna be up there?

Probably around 5:00. I'll try to get the word out to everybody if we don't get rained out.

[Douginala]

Deerfoot Church 5:00 PM Thursday

I checked the Spann-O-Vision and it looks like we'll be safe to get out this afternoon. I'll get the word out to as many of the guys as I can. I'll probably ride up there around 5:00 regardless.

[rctoyguy]

I was waiting till I could be sure before I said - but I won't be able to be there, as much as I wish I could... Going to eat with some folks that work with my wife.

doug, I have the servo mount - I'll get it back to you as soon as I make my own using it as a template.

Hey Jeff,

Good to hear from you. PLEASE don't rush up on that mount. You are welcome to it for as long as you like. I don't have any immediate need for it.

[rctoyguy]

Thanks Doug - yeah, I've been kinda scarce lately... Got a lot of irons in the fire as they say. Maybe I can get the truck out this weekend..

[Douginala]

Believe me, I know what they say.

If you get free for a while over the weekend call me.

[yukon635]

[Douginala]

Saturday Afternoon ?

Anybody trying to get out this afternoon?

In order to avoid a domestic conflict that could lead to personal hardship, I've got to finish painting a bathroom today. (I'm sure I'm the only one of us that's ever found himself in that position.)

If anybosy gets out email or call and I'll see how it looks.

[promatchrcr]

I will be tied up most of the day but if things change I will call you.

[puba187]

I will be tied up most of the day

At least we he will be having fun!

[promatchrcr]

Not that kind of tied up.....being tied up is not my thing really. :)

[rctoyguy]

I've got the entire front end torn off of my truck right now, but if I can get it back together for the weekend, would anyone be interested in getting together Saturday to crawl a little? I'm starting to have withdrawals...

[promatchrcr]

Well I got more than my front end torn off right now.... :) Not sure what I will be doing but call me before you go and I'll see if I can meet you to shoot the breeze.

[puba187]

[Benzbuildr]

Hey fella's good to see guys close to me, I have an ax10 rtr in the process of upgradin' . It all started with a stripped servo. It's amazing how much money one will spend on this hobby. once i get my ride going maybe i can hook up with you guy's and go have some fun. "thumbsup"

[promatchrcr]

Cool man, let us know when you get it going. Watch this forum and this thread cause we will usually post here if we plan to go somewhere.

[mrodgersbmx]

Does anyone know if there is anywere around Bessemer,Mcalla to go rock rollin. I don't have a lot of time so it would be nice to go somewere close to the house.:?:

[Rockcrawler]

Does anyone know if there is anywere around Bessemer,Mcalla to go rock rollin. I don't have a lot of time so it would be nice to go somewere close to the house.:?:


I have not found anywhere in the area yet. The closest place to go is the church in Trussville (1 hour) or Rock City (1 1/2 hours). I lived in Hueytown for a little. I am actually in Hueytown/Bessemer right now at work. :lol:

[promatchrcr]

Little Rock City is sweet! It looks like I will be working all day Saturday so I won't be able to go but if we plan a trip we'll let you know.

[wireman]

Im workin in springville this week, anybody doin anything after 3?

[rctoyguy]

It would have to be way after 3 - like 6 or so for me, and I think Thursday would be my best shot.

[Douginala]

It would have to be way after 3 - like 6 or so for me, and I think Thursday would be my best shot.

5:00 or 6:00 Thursday should work for me too.

[John Deere]

5:00 or 6:00 Thursday should work for me too.
Heck thursday is fine with me also. I would be willing to meet somewhere in Springville. Jeff I did not think Jay was gonna be able to drag you into this mess. LOL That lasted awhile, huh? I don't have a 2.2 going right now but have the little losi truck I wanna do some tunning on. I might could throw a 2.2 together. I still have a stink bug to use. I am just gonna build the dern thing I guess. Some want it and then don't. Of-course its my fault it aint already gone to jerry I guess. Oh yeah, Jay I though you where kidding with me about the ricks shop. He ended up havin my power supply at his house and was gonna take it to the shop for me. Where yall wanna run Thursday or can yall?

[rctoyguy]

Deerfoot Baptist Church - 6:00'ish... Yall can get there earlier, but 6:00 is about as early as I can be there.

Does everyone know where the church is?

If I get mine back together I will try to come out too. It all depends on if I have to work late today and tomorrow.

If all goes well I'm shooting for 5:30 on Thursday.

I talked with Mr. Nelson again yesterday. He was very nice as always and both he and the church are all smiles.

I've copied the "rules" below just as a reminder.







08-04-08Good news on Deerfoot Church





I had a very pleasant visit with Mr. David Nelson this morning and he could not have been any nicer.

He approved crawling there subject to a few (very reasonable) restrictions.


All day Sunday and after 3:00 PM Wednesday are off limits.
Don't move his rocks around.
No trash, cigarette butts, etc.
Maximum crowd of 6 or so at any one time.
Everyone should be advised that anybody without a church home is welcome to visit Deerfoot Church any time.He asked that we all make a note of his name and if questioned tell them that he approved our being there. He also will supply us with some of his business cards so that each of us can carry one with us.

I personally appreciate him giving approval and am thankful that it worked out well. It really is a great place to crawl.

Also, I appreciate everybody's cooperation while this deal was up in the air.

Thanks,
Doug

I am up for it I just need to know where to go. I am sure I go down 59 to the deerfoot exit and then where from there??? I will only be able to bring the Mini Losi crawler with me.

59N to Deerfoot Pkwy exit
at end of exit ramp, turn right (go back across the Interstate)
Take the first left (there is a big church sign there at the cemetery)
Follow that road straight to the church - you won't miss the rocks.

59S to Deerfoot Pkwy exit
at end of exit ramp, go basically straight across Deerfoot Pkwy.

*note - there is some road construction going on in the area, there will soon be a different entrance to the church off of a new road...

[John Deere]

Jeff are you gonna be there tomarrow??? Also coming from my direction from Argo you would turn left at the stop sign on the ramp.

[rctoyguy]

Unless something crazy happens, I'll be there.

I think you will go basically straight at the end of the exit ramp - I don't come from that way often enough to remember exactly what it looks like coming from that direction.

We had fun at the church Thursday afternoon. Wish more guys could have made it.

John Deere's Losi is quite something. Jeff's WK is better every time I see it. I watched :shock:

Doug its funny watching that Losi go. I did some other things to it tonight. I have not been able to test it though because I have the servo off it. I am putting a standard one on tomarrow. Tired of the little servo saver brackin!!!! Also I placed a order with Yota Chump today on a chassis like promatchrcr has. Had to have it.

I'm liking that Losi, cool little rig. I can't decide if i want to get one or not or wait and use that money towards a Tamiya Tundra Scaler.
