NERCC March 11th

[fullmodtxt]

UPDATE!!!!!!! Changed to March 11th. Same location.

[mrwonderful]

fingers crossed. But i doubt my tuber will be ready.

[fullmodtxt]

Dude, you need to un-cross your fingers if you want to get that tuber done......




You can't learn to drive that way niether.

[mrwonderful]

First I need to get the tubing. And i thought you were going to give me that "RockCrawling for Dummies" book. Whats up?

[CoreyK]

Id be up for it if i can get some damn money for tires wheels and adapters......Anyone got some used ones?

[burger0385]

I would definatly would be up for it. If its in danielson then i would have no excuse for not going. Rock on!!!

[fullmodtxt]

Burger, I'm figuring that the Old Furnace place would be best for a February crawl because it is centrally located for everyone. We can all get there early (Except Kona!! Ha!) and then crawl till dark and still be home at a reasonable hour. If people are going to be driving 2 or 3 hours for a crawl, we should do it "in season" so that we have the most amount of daylight to make it worth the drive.

Anybody want to crawl somewhere else?

[CoreyK]

I Asked my father, he said hed be up o bring me.....Hopefully i can find some wheels and tires....Anybody got any extras they wanna sell/loan for the crawl?? Id apreciate it..Oh and the Old Furnace Park was a blast last time!!!. Hopefully with my new rig ill be able to do the rocks you gys were doing.

[mrwonderful]

. Hopefully with my new rig ill be able to do the rocks you gys were doing.
Well, most of us were doing anyways.

[fullmodtxt]

Don't worry about Wonderful, he's doing a whole different kind of rock. Ever wonder why he's so skinny?????????? Corey, what tires/wheels are you looking for? Need stuff to run on TXT axles or something else? What did you do with the TXT you had in December?

[CoreyK]

I need wheels and tires for clod axles.....lol, The TXT i had in december went bye bye

[kona_joe]

I'm in for a run @ Old Furnace Park :mrgreen:

What weekend are you guys looking at? Corey14, I might have an extra set of wheels/tires that I could bring along with me.

Oh yeah I'll try to be on time Fullmodtxt :razz:

Joe

[CoreyK]

Ok cool kona joe. Just let me know if you can or not so i can tell burger to bring a set..... I have a chance to get new beadlocks and slightly uswed moabs for 100$$ but i only have 50$ lol.

[fullmodtxt]

Kona, I have the 11th-12th and 25th-26th available. Either of those dates good/bad for everybody else?

[kona_joe]

I'm open for the weekend of the 25th-26th

Joe

[CoreyK]

Im pretty sure i can do it the 25-26.....Hopefully by then ill have enough money to buy wheels/tires and adapters.... Anyone see the new proline clod to 23mm adapters/wideners??

[burger0385]

Those date are fine for me,

[mrwonderful]

the latter date should be good for me. I foresee nothing wrong with that.

[CoreyK]

So, is it going to be the 25th or 26th???

[fullmodtxt]

I would prefer the 25th. Saturdays seem to work best for me. Anybody else.

[CoreyK]

Either ones good for me.

[fullmodtxt]

Burger, how much snow did you get out there? Somewhere between 1-2 feet here, can't tell because it's the light stuff and drifted all over.



Did our plans for a February crawl get snowed in?

[burger0385]

The last time i heard it was around a foot. It should all melt this week.

[mrwonderful]

Supposed to be high 40's all week around my place. Snow shouldn't last long.

[CoreyK]

Snows almost gone:mrgreen: . Just to let you guys know i dont need extra tires now i bought some thanks for offering though. So what do you guys think? We will have it or not? Hope we do im itching to try out my new rig against some of ther shaftys:flipoff: :lol:

[fullmodtxt]

Corey, sounds like we're still on! Snow is melting rapidly here.

[mrwonderful]

ost of the snow is gone in my yard. So by next week it should be safe to crawl.

[CoreyK]

Sounds good!!! When will we know what date the 25th or 26th? Gotta let my Mom know so she doesnt come down from Vermont when im in danielson :lol:

[fullmodtxt]

I thought we were leaning towards Saturday, but Sunday might actually work better for me now anyway!

[burger0385]

sunday would be fine for me. it would give me some time to work on my new axle design.

[CoreyK]

Sundays fine for me to!! All the snow hear is gone.

[kona_joe]

I'm cool with either day guys!

I should have the TXT Tuber running for that weekend! :mrgreen:

Hey Fullmod, did you talk to Trac95ker, is he planning on attending?

Joe

[mrwonderful]

Oh, joe. I've been meaning to tell you. I forgot one of one of the parts of the wideners i gave you. Its one of the bolt things that holds the wheel on, it's name eludes me. I'll bring it then.

[kona_joe]

Ok Cool! Thanks!

I should have my new torch setup working this weekend. How's your tuber coming along? Started bending anything yet?

Joe

[wrx-n-ktm]

I really hope I don't have to work. I'd love to crawl with more than just one other person.

[CoreyK]

WRX wed love to have you! The more people the better! Hope you can make it ;-) :mrgreen:

[mrwonderful]

Well, to be honest, I haven't even got the tubing yet. I ordered about 12' with a bender almost 3 weeks ago from straight length. They wont answer my emails and im starting to get a wee bit pissed. So tommorow, i'll be hitting up the local hardware stores again to see if they have any.

[fullmodtxt]

Have we agreed on Sunday? I need to know, something came up. I bought a car, and it looks like I'll be picking it up on the 25th or 26th. I will do what I can to try to work out the pickup for Saturday if we are agreed on crawling for Sunday.

Kona, I've emailed Trac95 a few times, still waiting to hear from him.

[mrwonderful]

was it that hick-mobile that you plan on racing? I might not be able to make it that weekend. We are having car troubles. But i should be able to.

[kona_joe]

Sunday is fine with me

What time are we meeting 9am or 10am? I certainly don't want to be late :-P

Joe

[fullmodtxt]

Yep, was that hick-mobile. Looks like I'll be picking it up Sunday.... Ugh.... Wonderful, check the tires on your car. They might be too big for it. Ha!

[CoreyK]

Fullmod you cant make it?? Is it still on?

[mrwonderful]

I will probably be late. Maybe around 12-1. Hope its not a problem.

[CoreyK]

Ill be on time:mrgreen: :flipoff: ..... Just ran my new rig for the first time.... Its ALSOME!!!:lol:

[flubyu]

wondering if anyone can show im new to hobby would like to see what you guys are climbing just got my clod based crawler up and running:mrgreen:

[CoreyK]

What would you like to know?? If you come to the crawl youd see what its all about... Here are some pics of what we will be climbing...
http://www.nercc.net/images/OFSP2.JPG

http://www.nercc.net/images/OFSP7.JPG

[flubyu]

looks good not sure if i will be able to make this one if its on sat 25 im working if its on sunday its poss would need directions or address and time also do you do any meets closer to the bristol area

[CoreyK]

its on the 26th...ill get directions in a bit...

[CoreyK]

Dont know what time it will start. But im guessing 10am till dark like last time..

[flubyu]

going to be in hopkington ma i may have to wait until something closer comes up do you do meets in ct alot

[burger0385]

Corey those are the wronge directions. Go here (http://www.nercc.net/schedule.html)for the plans.

[CoreyK]

Wow Burger. I dont know how i got those. Copyed the link for directions from NERCC.net. o well

[fullmodtxt]

OK yall, I'm going to have to miss this one. I can't do Sunday. Looks like we will be missing a few people whichever day the crawl is.

[CoreyK]

To bad you cant make it. Hopefully next time you can!

[BOSKIPPER]

I might be able to make it. How far is this spot from new haven?

[CoreyK]

Im near new haven. So maybe like 1 3/4 hour??? im like 15 min from new haven

[mrwonderful]

Would it be better to have in on Sat instead? It seems like more people will be able to go.

[CoreyK]

I dont know if i can make it saturday. I can sunday like we planned though!

[burger0385]

Either day would be fine for me.

[wrx-n-ktm]

Do you guys plan on going to this spot once it gets a little warmer out? I'd love to check it out.

[kona_joe]

Guys how do you feel about moving the get together out two more weeks? We could reschedule it for Saturday, March 11th ? This coming weekend is just not going to accommodate all of our members. We have a limited amount of members and I think we need to plan things so that the maximum amount are able to attend.

This way it gives everyone a little more time to adjust their schedules and perhaps a little warmer weather also. : - )


Joe

[wrx-n-ktm]

I'll make sure I can go on the 11th:mrgreen:

[fullmodtxt]

Kona, the 11th should work fine for me. I think we will be better off that weekend, for attendance and weather reasons. That December crawl was COLD! Took the whole drive home with the heat on to get rid of the chill I had from bieng out in 30 degree weather all day!

[CoreyK]

Yea. I think the 11th woulkd be better....warmer, and more of us can get are rigs finished without being rushed!

[burger0385]

Those dates would probably would be better. The more people that show up the better time we will have. Plus its spring break weekend:mrgreen: .

[kona_joe]

Alright Guys, Two more weeks it is!
--------------------------------------------

NERCC returns to Old Furnace Park

Saturday March 11th

Old Furnace State Park - Danielson, CT

10am till Dark

Weather Permitting

Directions (http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=549+S+Frontage+Rd,+Danielson,+CT)

[CoreyK]

Two more weeks! cant wait. I was looking at Nercc.net. Did u guys have a small get together the 17th this month?

[kona_joe]

I was looking at Nercc.net. Did u guys have a small get together the 17th this month?

No, those pics are from last year when we went to Lincoln Woods. They must have just been recently uploaded by a member.

Yeah, two weeks to get my junk ready. :mrgreen:

Joe

[CoreyK]

Oh i see!. Yep 2 more weeks to get the bugs worked out on my new rig.. And get my new radio!

[CoreyK]

I was thinking. It mightbe cool to set up a comp. Shaftys and Clods in the same class. If we get alot of members to come itd be pretty fun! Lets see what everyone else thinks.

[fullmodtxt]

Corey, we've never done any kind of "comp" stuff with classes or whatever. It's just not our style, and I see no reason to change things. We've been doing our thing for over 2 years now, and it works well for us. We just don't dig marking courses, setting rules, scoring, and the whole process. All of that stuff is time and effort that we'd prefer to spend crawling and finding a good place for lunch!

[CoreyK]

Ok. Just sounded cool. Plus we dont have any real reason to do comps. We have enoguh fun just crawling!BTW Fullmod I like the new tuber look u did!

[HotRodCJ]

can anyone attend these? i think i can make it that day. so its not a comp just a crawl? thats more my speed. anything coming up at lincoln woods?

[CoreyK]

Yea not a comp just a crawl Still just as fun. Not sure about Lincoln woods have to ask Fullmod or Joe.

[mrwonderful]

Lincoln Woods would be at least another month. And it would be a "bash." Besides, I dont think we even know what the "Almighty, Follow them or Burn in Crawler Hell" rules are.

[mrwonderful]

No, those pics are from last year when we went to Lincoln Woods. They must have just been recently uploaded by a member.
Joe
Yeah that was me. I was scanning through my old files and decided to upload some.

[fullmodtxt]

We'll certainly be doing Lincoln Woods again. It is a cool place, with lots of tricky crawling spots and great scenery. Everything we do is just a "bashing session" or whatever kinda crawl. Everybody is welcome! Don't worry about what you crawl with or anything. No rules or restrictions! Just throwdown and crawl!!!!!!!!! Oh, and bring spare parts.

[fullmodtxt]

Wonderful, you don't need to worry about what those "burn in crawler hell" rules are. The novice class would apply to you, and the rules are very forgiving. Just read that "RC crawling for dummies 101" that you got on ebay and you'll be off to a good start.

[fullmodtxt]

OK Y'all, date has been changed. There is no February crawl! Old thread should get moved into this one. March crawl is set for Saturday March 11th at Old Furnace State Park in Danielson CT. 10AM till whenever. We normally do not have transmitter frequency conflicts, but always have everybody post what they use anyhow.

I'm running FM 69.

[CoreyK]

Soudns good to me fullmod! Cant wait!

[kevinlongisland]

I merged the two threads for you guys. Have a good time at the GTG.

[kona_joe]

Thanks Kevin!

[kevinlongisland]

Anytime! And thanks again for those cones. They got lots of use!

[CoreyK]

Im pretty sure im picking up a spektrum DX6 so no Interfernce problems here. Man i cannot wait!

[wrx-n-ktm]

what time you guys plan on getting there?

[kona_joe]

10am till Dark

Directions (http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=549+S+Frontage+Rd,+Danielson,+CT)

Hope to see ya there!

Joe

[wrx-n-ktm]

I'll be there with a few rigs hopefully:mrgreen:

[CoreyK]

Nice! What rigs are you going to bring? I need to get started on my maxx

[wrx-n-ktm]

the 72 chevy 2.2 clod for sure, my maxx tuber if I get the bugs worked out, tlt tuber, Gecko pro 40/60 if I get motors and a radio (doubtfull) Maybe an RBX tlt. Who knows:lol:

[CoreyK]

What radio do you need? Im almost 100% positive ill have my spektrum so i can bring my TQ3 along if you want to use that...

[wrx-n-ktm]

I'm going to my LHS tomarrow I may just pick one up. I'll let you know. Maybe I'll have the boyer I'm getting from 90DEGREES there too. I think I need a unimog now to carry all this crap:lol:

[CoreyK]

Alright cool! Just let me know so i can throw it in the box! Man i should get off this comp and start working on my maxx....Lol

[wrx-n-ktm]

Yeah me too, but I just got off of a 12hr shift so I may just take a nap....Man I hate 3rd shift:evil:

[CoreyK]

I have an excuse! Im sick haha. Maybe il go the the hardware store l8er and buy some stuff.... or the LHS and spend money there. What do you prefer? haha

[wrx-n-ktm]

I'm glad this got moved untill the 11th, It's fawkin cold as sh!t out this morning:shock: Hopefully it'll get a bit warmer in 2 weeks:)

[CoreyK]

I hope so to. It would be a repeat of the December crawl and that was freaking freezing!

[CoreyK]

Ill have my NN there. Also if i decide to buy the "stick" Chassis and it gets here in time i may be running that. Maybe the NN for half then on lunch break ill Throw on the Stick. Lol

[CoreyK]

Vince and Joe i need your help. Since you guys both run plane radios, i need some opinions. I dont know what one to get. So if you guys have some opinions let me know itd be greatly apreciated!

[wrx-n-ktm]

WTF it's snowing right now:x

[mrwonderful]

Its nice and cold up here, but no snow. We're supposed to get an inch or two tommorow, but it should melt.

[burger0385]

I wouldnt worry to much about the weather for the next crawl. It should be warm by then. I just hope it doesnt rain.

[fullmodtxt]

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Burger, don't say it! That r-word is considered foul language in NERCC area. The first few times we had crawls, we should have run paddle tires. Anybody have more face paint? I used up all of mine doing no-rain dances last summer. And Wonderful, hold all comments or I'll sacrifice you to the rain gods. That is, if they'll even accept you.

If I carry you all the way up those steps and they throw you back, I'm going to give you a serious whoopin'.

[mrwonderful]

Rain. Hah!

[fullmodtxt]

Oh, you little bastard! OOOOOH, why I oughtta...... I'll see to it that you meet a horrible demise by chinese water torture. I'll make sure that your transmitter is just out of reach while I'm at it.

[mrwonderful]

Well, it wont matter much if i cant get to my transmitter. My truck wont do anything anyways.

[fullmodtxt]

Your truck won't do much even if you COULD get to your transmitter! Ha!

[mrwonderful]

Thats what im saying. But its ok, cause all that will change in a little while.

[CoreyK]

Sposed' to be mid to high 40's all week. Snow shouldnt last long! Cant wait, Wonderful hows your tuber coming?:lol:

['83 chevy]

hey im in western mass do you guys ever have comps closer to or in western mass? being only 15 its kinda hard to go to ones that are an hour and a half away? let me know if you will an time soon

[mrwonderful]

We dont have comps, only get togethers. But as far as i know, right now we dont go out to Western MA. If you look around and find some good spots, we'd be more than happy to go over you're way.
Oh and Corey, my tuber isn't coming along. I placed an order for 12' of it in January, but never got it. I guess they didn't get the order. I'll get some more soon and start up on it. Shouldn't take long, it wont be very complicated.

[CoreyK]

Just go to the auto parts store, they have it!:roll:

[mrwonderful]

I checked out the local hardware store and the had 3/16" rod, which is a little too heavy. I went to the auto parts store and they were out.

[Bsmooth]

I gotta get my **** together and crawl with you guys! Damnit, how many day do I have? hmm 7 days to make a chassis and assemble...

[mrwonderful]

http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/9955/weather2xh.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
uh oh...

[fullmodtxt]

Begin fasting now, Wonderful. The rain gods will only take you if your system is clean and purged of human toxins. And I already warned you about what will happen if they don't accept you.....

But seriously now, I'm going to vote that we hold out untill a few days before the crawl to see if it is still most likely to rain.

[CoreyK]

Yes Baby!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol: :mrgreen:
http://wtnh.images.worldnow.com/images/31426_G.jpg

[mrwonderful]

Damn. 60 is pretty nice.

[CoreyK]

Hell Yes 60 is alsome!

[HotRodCJ]

is there a meeting spot there? i am coming just dont know if im gonna be there right at 10:00. is there a general area where you go.

[CoreyK]

Theres a big parking lot. Youll see a bunch of cars. Just go straight down(Theres a like 10ft wide path) and youll see or hear us. Not hard to find and i think my dad will be up in the parking lot. So he can let you know whee to go!

[mrwonderful]

Looks like we have a pretty good response. Kind of reminds me of last years first crawl, with all these pages. Lets just hope we dont get the same turnout. Thats four for those that weren't there.

[wrx-n-ktm]

I'm still going!!!!

[CoreyK]

Ill still be there! I got a suprise for yall:flipoff:

[mrwonderful]

Is it long and thin and attached to two clod axles?

[CoreyK]

Well no. Youll see when i get there. Ill prolly be late again cause i was a lil late last time my dad needed cofee lol

[fullmodtxt]

Bla bla bla, pay no attention.

[mrwonderful]

Believe it or not, but it would be better for me to wait a little while. Two of my batts have just died, and another went MIA. Now I’m down to one that doesn’t always take a charge. But I may be able to get some for this week if we still want to go. And maybe we should make the 1 post rule...

[fullmodtxt]

OK yall, crawl is on for sure. Sadly, Kona_Joe can't make it. We'll draw straws to see who gets to take a dip in the water in your Honor, Kona. Wonderful, you are welcome to share packs with me if we are wired the same way. Perhaps others will lend a hand also? Or, you could just go buy more packs!!!! Ha!

So, 10AM at Old Furnace State Park. Please remember to check your frequencies just incase there is conflicts. I am on FM 69, but do not have any others to switch to. See y'all there!!!!!

[CoreyK]

Wonderful if were wired the same one ill share some packs with you!

[mrwonderful]

I'm using powerpoles. But i found another battery, so when one is charging, i'll be using the other one. Not ideal, but it'll work.

[mrwonderful]

. Sadly, Kona_Joe can't make it. We'll draw straws to see who gets to take a dip in the water in your Honor, Kona.
I say we chuck corey in, as sort of a induction into NERCC ceremony. Who else is down for it? ;-)

[CoreyK]

No im not in for it. I say we chuck you in.

[wrx-n-ktm]

I'll see you kids tomarrow I just got my boyer 2.2 clod and RBX all ready to go!!!! And my friend Jay is comming with me he has an Inet and Bulu II to wheel around:mrgreen:

After todays weather I can't wait.

[fullmodtxt]

NERCC Induction ceremony. HMMMMMMM.... I like it! Let's see.... Wonderful isn't really a new guy anymore, and he's scouted a location for us. He even bled for NERCC a few times. Made some vids too. Burger has shown a few times, scouted a location for us, and done some vid work.

Corey, it's not looking good! I hope you get LOTSA video footage tomorrow!

[fullmodtxt]

wrx, it's good to hear that you're bringing someone along. There may also be a few others attending who have not posted. We might get a good turnout! We'll still be missing Kona though, that sucks.

[CoreyK]

Ill bring my camera and MAYBE go in the water..... I think WRX should though hes the newest!!:lol: Anyone know why Joe cant attend?

[wrx-n-ktm]

Well I did make my RBX to be completly waterproof:) As for me going in the water if you want to try you'll probably be the one ending up wet:lol:

[wrx-n-ktm]

I'm getting my crap ready right now:mrgreen:

[wrx-n-ktm]

Any pics or vids yet?:mrgreen:

[fullmodtxt]

I have a few group pics, that's all. I'll post them on NERCC.net and link to them here.

[mrwonderful]

I got a buttload of pictures and video, so i'll get some up soon.

[mrwonderful]

Ta da! (http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?p=262238#post262238) I'll get some of my pictures up soon.

[wrx-n-ktm]

Well, I figured out what happened to my "waterproof" TLT. The Rx and ESC were fine, the motor was the problem. All I had to do was take it apart and clean it now it's as good as new. It's ready for some more underwater excursions:mrgreen:

[mrwonderful]

Well, thats a relief. Some people run some sort of foam around the endbell to keep the crud out. Maybe a good idea for you?

[wrx-n-ktm]

I think I'll give it a shot. Hopefully at the next NERCC meet there will be water:mrgreen:

BTW how do I join NERCC????

[mrwonderful]

You may be out of luck. As far as I know, there isn't any. And by join NERCC, do you mean the website or the "club"?

[wrx-n-ktm]

The website. Or the club:lol: There is no water at the next meet?

[CoreyK]

Well, i was told if you show up for the crawls when you can your a part of the "club". Go to www.nercc.net (http://www.nercc.net) and hit "join" then follow the steps.

[fullmodtxt]

WRX, if there is any water at the April crawl, it will be in the form of slippery sloppery MUD. We never really bothered discussing NERCC membership. The "initiation" thing was as far as we ever got, and it was a joke.... Maybe we're a bit too laid back?

I guess if ya show up from time to time, you're in! Heck, we had a guy from Seden, Switzerland, or some foriegn place like that join the website! It was aparrantly a long, strange trip for him. 1 hit too many there, boy! I'll get you setup with your own gallery and that kinda stuff on the NERCC website within a few days.

[wrx-n-ktm]

Thanks Fullmod, and the mud sound like fun:)

[wrx-n-ktm]

Oh and Burger did you ever make a video from the 11th?

[burger0385]

Sometime this weekend ill have the video made up.

[Trac95ker]

I posted a couple pics on NERCC. I just ordered some Moab XL's !

[CoreyK]

Cool! youll love those XL's man!

[mrwonderful]

What are you going to do with kong's?

[Trac95ker]

I'm keeping them. I have to much time invested in them.
