North Carolina Get-together

[Tonsa]

I will be heading to the Bullhole this Saturday. Probably around noon. Going to have to try out the new chassis and get some R&R to forget the work week. Show up if you can. Send a PM if you havent been there before and need directions.

[BrandO]

I asked the boss if I could knock off early today since it is Friday. I need some time to work on my own junk. He actually said yes. He is usually a dick head and makes me work late.:mrgreen:


I should be able to go tomorrow. I was just looking at the weather.:shock: It said partly cloudy in the morning then rain in the afternoon. We might want to shoot for a little earlier like 11:00. I will have to head out around 2:30 anyways. We are having some friends over for dinner.

Anyone else gonna come out and play?

[MomentuM]

What part of NC are you talking about?

[scruff007]

Mocksville is where the bullhole is.

[BrandO]

Looks like I won't be able to make it. Maybe we can all get together in a couple weeks. I should have my crap together by then. Let us know how that new hotrod goes Brian.

[HaPtOAD]

I'm going to try to go but not yet sure what is going on. Brian I heard about your new chassis can't wait to see it.

Nother north carolina boy here looking for some fun, where abouts is bull hole from raleigh?

[hvydty1]

should read further into things, Mocksville, gotit

[BrandO]

Since I can't go tomorrow I am going to plan on going in two weeks. I know Brian can't make it on the 4th. He said he is on call that weekend. So I am shooting for the 11th. If anyone wants to join me That will be cool. My TXT went under the knife today. Or should I say the Dremel. I hope to have it done for the 11th.


Have fun tomorrow boys. Brian don't scratch that pretty yellow paint.

Would be quite a haul from Raleigh. The Bullhole is in the small town of Cooleemee which is between Mocksville and Salisbury

I will be plenty ready to go back on the 11th. I will need more fun time by then after being on call for a week. Since that is a 2 week advance notice, I hope a lot of the NC guys can turn out that weekend and hope the weather cooperates.

[hvydty1]

get me some details how to get there and I'll give it a go. drivings no problem. give the juggster a workout.

Sounds good, Tonsa is the best guy to ask for directions. He lives not to far from the Bullhole. Send him a PM. he will point ya'll in the right direction. Hope I can remember how to get there.:?

My buddy Tony may come along on the 11th. He came over and checked out my crawlers this afternoon. He said he wants to check it out. Looks like I will have to put this pile of parts together and build a truck for him. With all my spare time 2 weeks shouldn't be a problem.:mrgreen:

So who made it out today? How did that new chassis work Brian?

[Tacoma747]

As an alternative to R/C crawlers on the 11th, I would like to offer up an invitation to another event. It is at the "Devils Playground", a off-road area run by a 1:1 rockcrawling group called the Muddevils. They normally have open invites for people to come check it out for free, but this time it will be $10 per person. It is all going to a guy in their group that was diagnosed with cancer, so it is to a good cause. There are TONS of rock gardens, and some HUGE rocks for the 1:1 trucks to play on. There is enough space for the R/C guys to find a spot to crawl without interfering with the big trucks, but still be able to SEE the 1:1's do their stuff. I can almost gurantee there will be many rollovers, and PLENTY of excitement. The Muddevils are well know for their high $$$$ tube buggies, many with V8's and VERY large tires. There will be a $5 per ticket raffle for a 90' 4-runner, as well as MANY door prizes.

I am going, and I will be taking my 1:1 crawler, as well as my TLT.

Hope to see some of you there.

Still not sure how the chassis works. I got to the bullhole and walked out on the rocks, hit the switch and had no power to the speed control and no rear steering. My Son broke a shock on his 1/6 Nylint about 10min into his playing. Niether of us had a very good day. I got pretty fed up and will see what is wrong with my truck later today or tomorrow. Im thinking that it may be a bad reciever since the rear steering is affected also.

Wow, that sure sucks. Maybe something is just hooked up wrong. I am trying real hard to get my TXT ready for the 11th. I am short a few parts. I also ordered a SW2 from Bender. I have all the other parts needed to put a TLT together. But it sounds like I won't have the chassis from Bender for a couple weeks. I want a second truck ready for my buddy to use. I know he will be hooked once he tries crawling. He is a nitro guy we need to convert.

[QUOTE=BrandO]Wow, that sure sucks. Maybe something is just hooked up wrong.[QUOTE]

I dont think anything is hooked up wrong. I forgot to add that it ran the night before in the living room floor. I really like the new battery pack...was pulling wheelies in the floor that night LOL

Thats weird, test it the night before then the next day it is dead.:shock:

Wheelies huh, even with those big tires. I told you there is a difference from a stick pack. That big rig should have plenty of yank now. When I get a few minutes I can make you up a spare pack. I have some older cells but they should still work good for ya.

[BrandO]

Who else is going to come on the 11th? It would be nice to get a big group to go. If you have not been to the Bullhole let Tonsa Know. He can give anyone directions.

[HaPtOAD]

Ooo,Ooo pick me, pick me I want to go. Naw I'll be there hopefully with Moabs on. more important what time

[Tonsa]

Ooo,Ooo pick me, pick me I want to go. Naw I'll be there hopefully with Moabs on. more important what time

I vote for around 10:00am in case some people who are farther away come out. Since this one is a 2 week notice, hopefully we will have more people coming. It would stink to drive several hours to only play for a few hours then drive those several hours back home. I can show up even earlier than 10 since it is only 2 or 3 miles from the house but you all hash it out and decide on a time and I will be there.

[BrandO]

10:00 is fine with me. Just hope the weather is nice. Sounds like next week might be a little cold. Bring your mittens boys.:mrgreen:


Sounds like everyone is going to be running Moabs. I got a used set for my Clod. And just picked up a set of XL's for my TXT. Maybe one of us can make it up that big rock.

[BrandO]

Never mind the mittens. Just watched the weather. They are saying low to mid 70's for next Saturday. Should be a nice day to play.

[Tonsa]

Guess it is just you and me BrandO since no one else replied that they were going LOL.

[BrandO]

I am starting to get a complex. Everytime I post something the thread goes dead. I promise to shower. And I promise not to mention the North in any way. Hell, I will even throw in a ya'll now and then.;-)

[HaPtOAD]

I'll be there with Scott and Cameron maybe a little early.:twisted:

[truegaintfree]

We are gathering in the Bullhole in Cooleemee NC tomorrow at around 10am. The more the merrier. If you need directions, shoot me a PM. I'm not sure where franklinton is so I don't know how far of a drive it is for you.

[hvydty1]

Sorry I missed it, work needed me. But I want to go. Try again another saturday? Say march 25th or april 8th? It'll give me time to give notice that I need it off. Also I should have Jugg Nut ready to ride by then. I will go this time if I have to play hookey.
