[tommyboy]

Its bout time for another meet the water will be up soon and Concord park will be a loss. This weekend might be our last chance for a meet at concord if anyone is up for it.

[raytard]

I would love to go back to Concord Park...

I BOMBED, at B.D.B.2.! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/29/29_4_42.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZZ)
Sorry, for not representin'! :oops:

It sounds like I destroyed my rear servo (HS-645), yesterday playing in Atlanta on little rocks. :roll:
I'm going to see if I can fix it, or block it off, so that it can steer straight (can't get a servo anytime soon).


Happy B-Day, Mrs. Cycle ;-)

Ph1101:
You were about a week away from getting a P.M. :-P


Well, it's time to work on a servo...

[MomentuM]

Anybody up for Edgewood Park on Sunday (4/09/06) around Noonish?


Tard - you were right - I've been bitten by the Crawler bug..... And there's a TLT on it's way to my mailbox. Oh yeah - The Wagoneer is on the road too.


How 'bout cha TommyBoy ? - You in? :flipoff:

[tommyboy]

How 'bout cha TommyBoy ? - You in? :flipoff:[/QUOTE]

I will be there I want revenge on Edgewood I broke a shock there on the 2nd and my new shocks should be in by then.http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sauer/angry-smiley-049.gif

[MomentuM]

I put a 1/4 scale servo on front and replaced the rear, Ready to try it out.

Raytard I'm ready to see what that NN will do.

[tommyboy]

Ready for revenge on Edgewood sunday at noon I do my killing after breakfast.

[raytard]

Damn the Bad Luck!


Evidently 20+ years ago this Saturday, my wife was born... For her B-Day we are going to Ky. this w/e... :evil:

I cannot come this time what about next w/e?

N.L., WILL be there though!!!


I'm sorry I made plans w/ y'all & now I have to cancel.
My N.N. can't wait to meet you guys... :lol:

Again I am sorry but I'll be back!!!

[tommyboy]

Went by concord today and the water level is up which cuts off a lot of the course.
So Edgewood is the better bet.

[torchedcycle]

Are we still meeting today the 9th

[raytard]

N.L. WILL be there around noon, he said...



IF I get back around 2:00 - 3:00, I'll be there too! No promises though... :mrgreen:

[tommyboy]

I will be at Edgewood park at noon.

[MomentuM]

We had a great turn out yesterday. Thanks to all that came out. Lots of good crawling, some broken parts and the Stupid Kid in the shopping cart was great. Did you get that on tape TommyBoy?

I hope to do it again soon. :mrgreen:

[tommyboy]

It was nice to see everyone again nice work on the widener kit on you SW2 N.L.
Sven the sticks are awesome as always.
I think the stupid kid in the grocery cart will make a nice intro to the next video.

[phishead1101]

When is the next get together? I would be able to make it to the next rally ( next sunday after easter) I am looking forward to not working on sundays, hell I am looking forward to having one hole day off! Let me know when you all are goin crawlin again! Can't wait to see your new rigs!

[MomentuM]

Any one up for a "Get Together" this coming weekend? (4-22 or 4-23)

[raytard]

Any one up for a "Get Together" this coming weekend? (4-22 or 4-23)I'd LOVE to!

However...


There is a comp in Alabama this Saturday, so once again I'm going to be denied the pleasure of y'alls company... :cry:
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28097


If a GTG. is going to happen; and as long as I know when & where by FriDAY, I'll inform N.L. but he's planning on going to the cruise in Pigeon Forge this w/e, so I don't know if he'll be there either... :roll:

Why don't some of you guy's come to the comp! :twisted: :twisted: "REPRESENT"

[tommyboy]

Let me know when and where and I will be there. I like the idea of Powell valley we can use the atv's to take the crawlers up to wicked.

[raytard]

Are any of y'all going to this months Comp?:

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31546

My Mother-in-Law Just bought a house in Bowling Green. That's where I'm staying the w/e...
I don't know if it'll have elec. or running H2O then.
However...
You guy's are more than welcome to bring sleeping bags & "pull up a floor". ;-)

I'm leaving here Thurs. night, & I'll be there Fri. morning. :twisted: :twisted: ;-)


It sure would be nice to see y'all again...

If not at the comp. Then, next mo. definately!!! :mrgreen:

Sorry Y'all! :roll:

[tommyboy]

I will be at the wind rock campsite this W/E if any one would like to join me there are plenty of places to go crawl. The sight below has a link to the campground. I will be the guy in the black and silver 1984 dodge ramcharger.

[torchedcycle]

Hobby Town has a about 5 or 6 huge bins of parts for 1/2 price.

All types of stuff. Thought some might find this useful.

I've got these maxx shafts that I picked up from a friend with a maxx, a long time ago. The longest shafts are a little bit difficult to compress the last 3/4" (I think they may be slightly twisted), but they are still usable. If you want them, just LMK your address.

[Cubman]

Anybody going to W.E.ROCK this summer? It's July 14-16 in Jellico.

[phishead1101]

Anybody interested in a get together in knoxville this weekend??? I've revamped my crawler now it's time for testing. Let me know what yall think.

[phishead1101]

Anyone from knoxville interested in a get together?

[raytard]

Yeah man... :) I've got my Nylints... :roll:

When & Where???


Sunday???
Edgewood???















It's been soooo long since anyone posted here, I forgot all about the 1:1 comp in Jellico this w/e.

Oh, well! Maybe next time... :roll:


Cubman:
If you go to it, take lots of pics &/or video!!! 8-)

[tommyboy]

I vote for the Waterfall Saturday at 10 or 11 the place has changed a lot but still plenty of rocks to climb.

Then W.E.ROCK on Sunday you know the bonus courses will be used on Sunday to get the points down.

[raytard]

That's cool w/ me; Krogers then waterfall... Hell's Yeah!!!

N.L. isn't sure yet.

[phishead1101]

I've got a show on saturday at the BIJOU THEATRE so I probably won't make it to the waterfall. If nothin else I will probably be out at edgewood on sunday around noon or so.

[raytard]

O.k., when & where???

N.L. was cool w/ Sunday's o.g. plan but he works Saturday...

Just let me know. Mmm'k. :lol:

[phishead1101]

I vote sunday top secret waterfall @ 12:00pm what do you think?

[TCXJWAGONEEr]

Hey guys,

I am in Maryville and have a place to go, but not really anyone to go with. I am running a slightly modified Nylint, but would enjoy wheeling with someone else. I have 2 rock garden setups as well as alot of trails we can run...probably 2 miles of stuff hard- easy.

Tommy

[raytard]

TommyHello, I'm in Maryville too.
Norwegian Legion & I would be more than willing to show you some good "Nylint" spots around town.


Can you be at the Northshore Dr. Krogers at 12:00 on Sunday???
Your nylint can do that!!! :shock:

Everybody should come!!!

torchedcycle
tommyboy
Cubman
K-Daddy
Momentum etc...

[phishead1101]

Sounds good to me I'll be there a bit before noon I gotta work a few bugs out of the new setup.....I will actuallly have a body on my truck this time, I ditched the ghetto fab. tuber for a better custom chasis. I can't wait to see how it works!

[TCXJWAGONEEr]

I might be able to...I work at maryville College/ live on campus...and have a few places on campus that work really well. I will try for sunday, but if not I will hook up with you all on the next ride.

Tommy

[raytard]

Sweet! Can't wait to see it!


I'll be at the Krogers, ~ noon (hopefully early, not late) to play on "The WALL".
Also, for people that don't know where the W/F is located, so they can follow me to it..

TommyBeen there too... :wink:

There are alot of Nylint friendly areas within walking/biking distance from you...
You'll see!!! :twisted:

Even if you can't make it Sunday, we'll G.T.G. this coming week (if at all possible). :wink:


Check out the thread you started.......................

[Reflection]

Are ya'll talking about Sunday the 16th? I'm planning on finishing up my new chassis Saturday morning and testing a little Saturday evening. If all works well,I could probly make it out Sunday.

[raytard]

Yes sir we are... 8-)

It would be sweet to see a Twin Force in action. :twisted:
Cubman... Are you coming???



I'll bring my Vertical Smile chassis, so everyone can see how nice it is... AND THEN GET ONE FOR YOURSELVES!!! :wink:

[Reflection]

Well,I'll be there. Somewhere between 12 and 12:30. I've not tested my new chassis yet but it's finished and ready. I'm gonna try to do a little testing later on this evening if I get time. I'm trying to get a buddy of mine to go also. He's into 1:1's and rides with me quite a bit. I'm trying to convince him he needs a small crawler as well:twisted: If he comes with me he'll probly run my sons Twin. That'll be 2 Twins running;-)

Wheres Cubman? You going?

Who all is gonna show?

[raytard]

Norwegian Legion & myself will be there ~ noon...


Come on guy's... Post up.

Charging (Nylint) batteries as I type...:wink:
C-y'all tomorrow...

Also, (if you have one) bring video cameras & memory cards...

[phishead1101]

Count me in Krogers at NOON right!

[Reflection]

Everything's loaded up and ready. Hopefully my piece of junk will work halfway decent. If I get a burst of energy I may try to finish up my new tires I'm building as well.

Are we just crawling at Kroger or are there a few spots that we can hit? Whatever it is,I'm game.

[Cubman]

I won't be able to make it tomorrow. The nylint is dead, and my twin force isn't done. I am coming back from Alabama, and won't be back until 1:00.

I am sure I will be ready for the next meet, though.

[raytard]

Dang; Cubman...

See ya next time then. 8-)





We are just meeting at the Kroger @ NooN... Sure we'll play there but the real treat is The Waterfall!!! :twisted:
Concord park is cool too, when the H2O is down...
See ya in 8.5hrs....

[raytard]

I'm leaving in :20...

N.L. will be there shortly after NooN...

[phishead1101]

12:20 and I am leaving now....see yall

[phishead1101]

Saturday I am going out to Edgewood park around 10am I will be out there untill about 2-3 pm I have a show later on that day (Southern Culture on The Skids) so I will have to leave fopr that. If anyone is interested let me know. Also I might be interested in doing something on Sunday if anybody is up for that.

[raytard]

How about Edgewood park around noon on Sunday?.?

I will bring my V.S. for K-Daddy to see, if he can make it...

I'll only go if someone replies that they'll be there...

[raytard]

I guess, noone's going to be there.?.

[Cubman]

Sorry raytard, I don't have the body mounted on my twin force yet :x

[Cubman]

Does anyone want to meet at Northshore this Saturday?

[Reflection]

I might be able to but I'm not gonna promise anything yet. It'll be Thursday or Friday before I'll know for sure

[phishead1101]

I'll go to the waterfall this weekend...Finaly bought a 1/6 nylint I could not pass it up at 50$ can't go wrong! Anyway I'll bring my TLT and my nylint.

[tommyboy]

I will be there with both TLT's hopefully.
29th at noon

[bustedcrawler]

We will see if I can get the TXT rebuilt in time, seeing as I just got all of my parts in on Tuesday. Not 100% sure if i can or not at this point in time.

Hey phishhead, do you live at the Creastridge apts off of Sutherland? I saw someone walking into the apts carrying a TLT and a Nylint on Monday. My old lady lives on the first floor of the apts. If you see a big Ford with CO plates give a yell!

[phishead1101]

Weird......Busted Crawler I do live at the Crestridge apts. #305. do you have your crawlers? we should crawl one night this week or somethin. My wife really likes your truck she thinks it cool lookin. I saw that you had a utrcrc shirt on one day and I was wonderin if you were into rccrawlin. I'll definetly come talk to ya next time I see ya.

[bustedcrawler]

You could say I am in to RC crawlers. Just ask Griz, he saw my truck WAAAAY back when. Back when it was still the almighty Almost Stock TXT. Now, nothing quite like that. Yeah if you saw the UTRCRC shirt that would be my fatass, chilling with the lil lady.

I will go get the rig, and start taking apart the new donor rig so I can be ready for Sat. Hopefully I can get the new rims narrowed for next weekend. I am just waiting on some of those lovely Bender adapters for the truck to get her XLs!

[Reflection]

Me and my son will be there. I may have to pull an all nighter to get my sons truck built up from a pile of ruble. One way or another,we'll be there

[raytard]

Oh, hells yeah!!!

My wife has told me ALL week that we were going to KY. today, to see her sister...

**PLANS CHANGED**
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_30_105.gif


I'll be there shortly after NooN tomorrow.
I will definately "USE" my camcorder this time!
I'll bring the Nylints too.


Does anyone want to see the Vertical Smile chassis up close & personal???

Nevermind, I'll bring it anyway. :smile:

I'll try to get N.L. to make an appearance too.

[raytard]

I think we should meet at Krogers like usual...


If everyone is there but me; go ahead and leave. I know where to go... :lol:

[Reflection]

Does anyone want to see the Vertical Smile chassis up close & personal???




Get it together and bring it.........so I can run it over:lol: :lol:


We'll see ya around noon.

[phishead1101]

I'll be there at noon! Krogers that is...

[bustedcrawler]

I may stop buy there is no way the truck will be finished by tomorrow :( SUcks but oh well, I guess in the move the clod axles I needed for the OG Heydco adapters I had got lost, so I can't run my normal Moabs, and I am sure as hell aint about to run Stock TXT tires. The to make sure I can't run, the rear servo mount got lost in the mad "I am moving, therefore I must clean house" spree.

Oh well, guess I have time to redo the servo mounts to something a lil better, and to narrow the new beadlocks for the XLs.

[raytard]

I have a set of cut, 40 series Moabs, on XTM Thorns, on Thundertech Wideners/Adapters.
(I had to glue them in, because I stripped 2 of them.)

I also have, homemade aluminium Clod/Maxx adapters.

I run both sets of them, on my N.N. Clod...



I can bring them for you to use. 8-)








Now can you make it...?

[raytard]

Duh.......!!!!!!!


I was so happy that I had adapters for ya, I didn't even see where "you lost your servo mounts..."

Damn, wwweelllll... I have a Nylint or two you could use. :wink:





bustedcrawler:
You have p.m.

[Cubman]

I'm charging up my batteries now, does anyone know what the weather is at Northshore? It is currently raining in Oak Ridge.

[Reflection]

Got up and it's raining.....damn.....I looked at the radar and it looks like the storm is moving to the southeast of us at a pretty good pace. So it should be a pretty day.

I was up till 3:30 a.m. putting my sons Twin back together on his new chassis. It's a shade different than mine so we'll see what his will do. Hopefully I can get this chassis dialed in so I can have a clean one made on my buddies mill.

Rain or shine I'll be there about 12:00-12:20.

See ya round like a doughnut8)

[Reflection]

Hey Cub,I'm north of everyone else that'll be there I believe. I just looked outside and it's dang near quit raining here. The storm is moving southeast,I'd guess that Northshore will be dry in an hour or two. Might be good also,it'll add a little slickem to the rocks

[Cubman]

Raptorman, I picked up a helical R&P set for mad/twin force axles in the Hobbytown clearance bin. Do you need it?

[Reflection]

Raptorman, I picked up a helical R&P set for mad/twin force axles in the Hobbytown clearance bin. Do you need it?


Yeah buddy!!!!!,decide what you want for it and I'll get it at Northshore. I'm fixxen to build a Twin crawler for my brother and was needing to get a couple of those. If you don't care,bring it with you.

See ya round

[raytard]

The Wife is already bugging me; "It's raining" she say's... :roll:

I told her "I won't melt"! :lol:

She gets off at 12:00...See y'all soon!

[phishead1101]

Het guys, It looks like the weather is gonna break soon....I will be heading down there about 11:30. See yall there.

[raytard]

It has, all but stopped here in Maryville. 8-)

[bustedcrawler]

Hey raytard, thanks for the offer of parts. I had the adapters, but not the right stub axles. The org. Heydco adapters were ment for clods, not TXTs, so I had to run clod outter shafts on my TXT to make it all work. Oh well.
But anyways, I have a spare clod outter I wont be needing if you want it man! You got PM raytard. I dont get too much internet time, (I HATE dial up) so your best bet is to gimmie a call.


How was it today? I got up and was lazy and helped out the old man all day, and started to figure out how much and how I wanna chop up the new beadlocks. Now next weekend, if I get my adapters in, it is on like donkey kong!

[raytard]

No problem man...
Heck yeah I'll take the outer. Thanks!

The carnage was limited to, a twisted half shaft, & a broken stub shaft.
Not bad for how much fun we had!


I've got a sh!tload of footage... :twisted:
I could almost make a 5-6 min video of each truck! :shock:
I'm thinking maybe 10-15 min. of crawling, & 2 min. of bloopers... :wink:

I won't be here next w/e but several of the guy's there today, said they're up for it.

[Cubman]

Yeah, the waterfall is the best spot in the area for crawling. I'd like to meet again, next weekend if possible. We could try having a small/informal competition. I already fixed my antenna, so I won't be working on it every five minutes next time.

[bustedcrawler]

At least it was just that, my first comp I was blowing up Traxxas rod ends like a fat kid eats lil debbie's! That gets old fast, but damn, was I ever a rod end changin fool!!

I should be golden for the weekend.

[phishead1101]

I'm down for a small comp! what do yall think about this coming sunday? Who has the tennis balls?

[bustedcrawler]

I am down if I get my Bender's adapters in by then, for sure!

[tommyboy]

Sunday the 6th same time same place.

I might have some tennis balls around here somewhere.

I will bring a clip board and pens and paper for writing down the scores.

[phishead1101]

Sounds good to me! I will also buy some tennis balls and cut them up...Should we make up some score cards?

[phishead1101]

Raytard emailed me a really nice score card, so I'll zerox a bunch and bring them on sunday1 I found a free tennis ball tonight, it's a start! So how many do we need?

[tommyboy]

Raytard emailed me a really nice score card, so I'll zerox a bunch and bring them on sunday1 I found a free tennis ball tonight, it's a start! So how many do we need?

I have already printed some scorecards at work and will try to find some chalk to bring but I could not find any tennis balls.

[phishead1101]

Okay kewl, I did not print the score cards so thanks for the heads up........I'll go get the tennis balls..

[raytard]

I have balls but I let my Kids play w/ them, & now they are scattered everywhere! I don't know where half of them are, & the other half are lost! :shock:


You need 1 ball per gate. 1 ball = 2 halves. :razz:
10 gates for each course/class = 20 to 60 balls, for 2 classes (Until we've got 20 people in the comps; We don't need to build, more than 2 courses at a time...) Unless supers & 2.2 run the same course..?.

You can make courses as you finish them but it makes for a longer day... Hell! What else do you have to do while charging batteries? 8-)

Wal-mart has buckets of chalk sticks in the Toy Dept., for a dollar. Oh, don't use so much chalk, that the companies get pi$$ed!!!


Have fun guy's!!! That's what it's all about...

Don't forget... 3 score sheets per person/class!

[bustedcrawler]

I will be there with or without a finished truck. So I can help out by judgin, and setting up courses. Hopefully I will have a finished truck so I can do that and drive. But we will see if that mail man gives me my adapters...

[phishead1101]

So do you all want to meet at the watrefall at 12 or 11am? What time should we start the course building?

[bigdogramsst]

you guys getting together sunday ?

[phishead1101]

Yeah sunday at the waterfall on northshore, for an informal competition. Do you need directions?

[bigdogramsst]

ya can you give me some from krogers ?

[phishead1101]

Meet me at Krogers tommorrow at 11am I will take you aver to the waterfall
Call me if you are not gonna make it 1- 865-773-6326

[Cubman]

I will most likely be there tomorrow. I do not have any tennis balls, but I will bring crystals for two channels this time.

[phishead1101]

I bought the tennis balls!!!!! I have plenty !!! don't buy any

[Cubman]

I'll be using a TQ3 with red crystals. I also have yellow crystals if I need to switch to a different channel.

[bustedcrawler]

I will be there to course build, judge, ect but not to drive. My adapters didn't show up in the mail, so I am SOL on running the TXT. I may throw it in the truck to show her off, but I cant run it.

Hey Phish, I will meet you over at Kroger and follow over to the waterfall. Raytard gave me directions, but to avert missing it I will follow you guys over there.

[phishead1101]

Hey Busted, I'll be at Krogers at 11:30 am Meet me there and we'll go over to the waterfall, or if you want we can go from the apts.

[torchedcycle]

Had a great time today. hope to do it again real soon.

THE KILLER GATE FROM HELL........!Busted will be getting a bill from several of the competitors!

[raytard]

I'm glad y'all had a good time... Did anyone get video?

Who won??? :flipoff:

[phishead1101]

Ray, K~Daddy shot some video, I was going to but forgot to charge the battery:roll:

I posted the results of the competition you can find them
here :arrow:http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?p=378631#post378631

[bustedcrawler]

Hey now, I shouldn't get the bill! Ya'll saw what I built, and ya'll agreed...Kinda like if I say "hold my beer and watch this" then charging you for the beer I gave up!!

That will be one of the first lines I take when the truck is done this week. Sooo....if anyone would like to see karma break my rig in half let's meet up this weekend! I fully intend on running the comp lines just like everyone else did, and seeing just what may come of it.

Now if I can just find that dang mailman..........

[raytard]

My N.N. is being rebuilt as we speak... 8-)

I'll wait till Sunday to play if that sounds good to you!

It will be the shakedown run before the comp...
I'll also be working on my V.S., sooo...


Sunday is the only day this w/e that I could do it!
I'll try that line!!! :twisted:

The gate could've been bypassed by picking it up & taking 20pts.... :twisted::razz::wink: It all depends on how bad you want to win!!! (in a "COMP")

Comp courses have to be harder than just playing around.

I built a course at Buford Dam that broke a couple of trucks... Including J.I.A.'s!

[phishead1101]

busted.....I was just screwin with you...But I would like to see you make that line!!!!!!!! 1 dollar says you can't !!

So it's on this weekend......Sunday.........NORTHSHORE!

What Time? 12:00?

[raytard]

12: sounds great to me!

I'm going to "try" to borrow a leaf blower/broom... :lol:

I'll bring my video camera too so I can make another vid. :wink:


Almost done! I had to take a break... :flipoff:

[bustedcrawler]

High noon works for me on Sunday!

Thanks for the correction on how I let the bypass happen Ray. I haven't seen anyone bypass, and I couldn't remember what to do. Soo.. They got off easy with just a 10 point reposition on that gate. I make it or break soooo...not the person to ask about that situation.

I hear ya Raytard on a shakedown before the comp...that is what this weekend is to me. I'll bring the Moabs and adapters you wanted too!

[phishead1101]

Do you all want me to bring the tennis balls??? I think it was fun setting up courses.....Or we could just do a follow the leader thing that might be just as challenging!

Also.......what is a good price for clod axles???? 100$ for a set?

I'd like to run the courses, y'all ran on Sunday! 8-)


I'll probably only run ~40 minutes, to check everything out...
But I'll be the last to leave again... :wink:

$75. - $100. is good for "used"... It's GREAT for "New"!!!

"New" will be between $100. & $140. ...

It cost's a lil' over $100 to build them piece by piece... :wink:

[Cubman]

Half the teeth on the diff gear in my transmission were missing when I opened it up yesterday. It is all fixed now, and I adjusted the slipper clutch so it will actually do its job. I'm out for this weekend though, I will be gone camping.

[raytard]

Good! I'm glad your fixed..!

Have fun this w/e!

I'll be camping next w/e... :wink:
See ya soon!

My son(Eddie) and I will be there. If my mail gets to me like I'm hoping I'll probly have a little more power under the hood:twisted:

There's no sence in me tugging w/ any of y'alls trucks!
They all out weigh mine & Torched's, or have alot more torque &/or wheelspeed... :roll:
Maybe K-Daddy or Cubman... :shock: I've got a video camera... :twisted:



Off Topic...


You guy's know how much I hate Hobbytown U.S.A. ...

...!


I need a few things from there & was wondering if someone could get them for me...? :roll:

48P 12T or less pinion (pack or individual...) It's for an Associated Spur
2" - 3" Top mount body posts (or side mount w/ thick bottom ends, for drilling purposes) 4 total
A real small amount of tubing, for 4-40 rod for top shock mounts.
~1" long 4-40 screws & locknuts (at least 4)Now don't make a speacial trip! ie; Just for me.
& if you can only get 1 thing because of $$$, or availability, or forgetting. That's fine by me! I appreciate any help!!! 8-)

See y'all Sunday... 8-)

Oh, Can y'all post what you got, when you get it please??? Thanks.

[bustedcrawler]

Oh I plan on testing it out. I didn't make it down last night, due to a severe brianfart. Forgot my AL, forgot the servo mounting posts....just wasnt my day. On the plus side I now have all 144 beadlock bolts in, 2 batteries charged, soo I am ready to go! Make 1 servo plate, cut down 8 screws and I am done!

Oh yeah, almost forgot...testing will show me just how much MORE of my body hast to go!

I would be game for taking on Raptorman, but I worried that I may be too light to do that.


Sunday will be good! If torched comes, that will make 2 clods I can go after!

[torchedcycle]

I plan on being there. bring it on

[phishead1101]

Maybe two or three trucks could take on raptors truck :twisted:

[SVEN]

Hey guys, I might be going home this weekend, so I may be there.

Oh and where are you all going to be?

[raytard]

Hell yeah, Boy's!!!

Sven-
It'll be good to see you in K-Town again!
We are going to the Waterfall...
We can meet at Krogers if you'd like..?


Somebody:wink: saw me at Hobbytown today! (sorry I didn't talk much or say bye...8-) That dude talked my ear off! :roll:)



It sucked people!!!
I had a f***ed up experience w/ them again... :roll::-x


Anyway's... I got my body posts, tubing for 4-40 rod, 12T pinion, & 4-40 screws but I forgot the locknut's...
So now all I need are L/N's, & "L" shaped alum. for a motor mount... :twisted:

See ya'll Sunday!!! Are you coming K-Daddy???

[Reflection]

You guy's know how much I hate Hobbytown U.S.A. .....!



Probly,those guys are the biggest dumbas$es I've ever run across. I got my son a new set of Moab XL's and Pro Line beadlocks. Well,you need the adapters to run the wheels right. Those guys didn't have the sence to order the adapters. They've got 2 set's of the beadlocks hanging on the wall,I thought surely they have the adapters sitten somewhere. NOPE,the dumbass said that the adapters were special order but the wheels were a regular stocked item. The dumba$$ness(if thats a word,it is now I guess) there just pisses me off thinking about it. I will NEVER set foot in that place again,they SUCK A ROOT BIG TIME.

Cubman was telling me about a hobbyshop in Oak Ridge. Does anyone know where it is? Do you recon they have the adapters we need? I can't remember for the life of me where it's at or even the name. I'd like to call them to see if they have them before driving all that way. Anyone got a number to the place?

Thanks.

[torchedcycle]

Hobby Shop in O.R is part of Todd's Maytag. I forgot what it is called.
He does not have adapters in stock. but will order anything you want.
He is interested in crawlers, If enuff people come in for crawl parts he will
stock for us. So go by and ask. He's just starting out and willing to help.

[bustedcrawler]

Well, I am all fixed up, but I have to tear down and tweak. Testing it out last night something wasn't quite right, and of course...I remembered after I left the shop!

I gotta change which side of the mount the lower links goto, which... will force me to cut the wheels down after I already bolted up 144 bolts!!!! My own stupid fault, since the truck hasnt been together and running in 4-6 months.

I will be ready to bring it on Sunday, not sure if I will cut the wheels by then, but I will be bringing it then!!

[phishead1101]

Busted I have your AL that you left at the shop...

Lumbee......What up Newb......~LOL~

Can't wait to crawl with yall again, I am gonna try my 2.2 and super setup if all goes well I've got alot of stuff to do saturday. Got slice some super tires and crame my GD-600 in to this thing somewhere!...I will defeinetly need it for those huge tires!

I think we should have a tug of war comp. to see whos truck has the cahones!

8 Days till comp time!!!!!Gotta work out the bugs!!

One other thing I need to get all of your contact info together so I can make up a drivers list....se the thread about the k-town club or use the links Ray posted...It wilol help out alot with the Web Page if I could at least get pics of your trucks and specs! Thanks Guys!!

Yeah,me and Eddie put his new Moabs and beadlocks together last night. I was VERY tired of turning that same little allen head. Coarse,I kinda cheated. After about 3 bolts, I thought "to heck with this". Cut off a section of the allen wrench,chucked it up in the drill and powered the rest of them in there. Still time consuming though cuz you still have to go slow. If you run them in to fast you'll strip them out.

If we can't get the adapters,I think we've got enough old 40 series wheels around to make a full set of 4. Might have an odd ball wheel or two but he'll be able to run his truck. One way or another I'll be there Sunday.

Oh,I'm game for tuggin with anyone. I've never pulled against another crawler. I've pulled my nephew around in his Red Ryder wagon quite a bit though:lol: :lol: I would like to see how it fairs against another rig.

And if ya'll think it's necessary to hook all your trucks together in order to pull me......whatever it takes right:lol:

[bustedcrawler]

I may have to do that, but I will borrow a power screwdriver, it lacks the balls that a nice drill/driver has. I am just soo pissed that I put it all together without checking everything first, and THEN doing the beadlocks. Oh well.

I also dont have too much time to cut them down...so I may just deal with tire rub on Sunday, we will see.


Phish, nice save..if you need some of that AL use it, otherwise I will prolly get it from you on Sunday!

[raytard]

O.K.

Here is what I need to do to get my V.S. running...


I need to drill my outdrives on my Stealth,
I need to drill out my Maxx shaft ends,
I need to drill my inputs for my axles,
I need to lock my stealth,
I need to make mounts for my Stealth,
I need to dremel out an indention in the base/skid for the tranny to fit.

The problem is:
I don't have anything except a Dremel to do any of this...

Can any of y'all, "hook a brotha up"??? 8-)

I could also use spare alum. (angle, square rod, round tube) if anyone has extra.
I'll buy... :mrgreen:

I got some tube yesterday but what I got was rrrrreeaalllll skinny stuff, so it won't work for shock spacers... :lol:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!

*Thanks for reading*

[phishead1101]

Ray ...I wish that I could help ya but I have two shows back to back and I will be busy from now till Saturday morning.....There may be a possibility that I could get you into the shop Saturday morning. Just let me know. You would have to get all your materials because Christy does not have much to spare.

[bustedcrawler]

Ray, you can have my extra AL. I really don't need it and it was a freebie to me so enjoy!

Here is my list Ray:

Move links over...all of 5 mins here...
Undo 144 bolts....
Cut rims, then glue rims.....
Redo 144 bolts.....

Good to go!

Other than it is my mom's bday tomorrie, sat. I gotta work all day (drivin a trachoe really isnt work...but I can fix the txt though)...Sunday play comp here in town....sooo we will see. Maybe Friday night or Saturday night. Good thing I bought the super extra heavy duty 5 min plastic epoxy!

[raytard]

Thanks for the offers guy's..!

Well y'all, it's going to be next week before I can finish it, so I'm going to wait till after Sunday to work on it. That way it isn't rushed...
I need to line up a digi for the build-up, so I can do a write up... Anybody?

Double J is sending me an aluminium bracket for the tranny.
So P.H.1101 you should bring it to busted on Sunday.
busted:
I'll still scrounge through it if you don't mind... :lol:

ya i will be there .i lost my password and changed my emeil and now K DADDY is no more now its lumbee 1 best i could do short on time and wit long day .but good to see you ray i made it home before my wife thank godwell se ya sunday?
You shouldn't have told us... You could've got on here bashing K-Daddy, & seen how fast we'd-a put a verbal smackdown on lumbee!!! :wink:

I guess it's best you didn't though.
I don't think my blood pressure really needed that... :lol:



See y'all Sunday!

[bustedcrawler]

That is fine Ray, I will also bring those old Moabs and adapters too! I gotta cut the wheels before BPB2 but I am not sure about before sunday. Not to mention I gotta trouble shoot my set-up. I am gonna try and fix up my bent Integy shock so I can go back to the last set up I had other than XLs instead of regular Moabs.

I have got some binding and lack of articulation that I haven't had before with these links and shocks. THe flex is ok, but the back end espically is feeling very stiff. I guess my shocks are due for a rebuild, since they haven't been touched in a year and a half or so.

We will see on Sunday. Although I will be dealing with just a slight bit of tire rub on the links, and the possiblity of rubbing tire on the frame!

[Reflection]

Rubbin's racing son......let's GIT IT!!!!:lol: :lol:

I've managed to cobble some wheels together for my sons truck,so he's good to go. Still need to work on his rear steering linkage a little,no biggie there though. I've got my new ESC in and playing with my gearing right now to find the sweet spot. Other than that....I'm ready to GIT IT!!!!!!!!!

[bustedcrawler]

[QUOTE=raptorman57]Rubbin's racing son......let's GIT IT!!!!:lol: :lol:
QUOTE]

Yeah, until you put the whole width of the tire into your frame! Although I do have a good line on what is the hold up in my set up. I have a feeling that without the Hedyco adapters and wideners, my shock set up is too stiff. We will see tomorrow! I will be there and ready to GIT weather or not the set-up is 100% dead on!!!

[raytard]

I'm meeting Sven at the Kroger's wall, at NooN.
Where's everyone else going to meet?

If we're the only two there when I show up, (because I'm always late :roll:) we'll go ahead & come on over... 8-)

See y'all in a few!

[phishead1101]

I'll be at the waterfall at 12oo 8)

[bustedcrawler]

so where are the pics at? I know some people took them!!

[phishead1101]

so where are the pics at? I know some people took them!! Yeah whats up with the pics? I know SVEN took some where they at?

Hey Busted and Ray, I will be in the shop tonight 8/15 6 pm to 10 pm if you need to use it just let me know!

I just got my 65 turn integy and some weights and other goodies from tower today so I got some work to do!!:lol:

[bustedcrawler]

Cool good to know. I think I just need weights, the TQ3, which I have to wait til Friday night for, and maybe some shock oil changes. Sadly I dont think Hobbyclown carries any sort of spring selection for those MGT springs.

Although given the radically different truck it became with the battery moved forward, I think shock oil change, and some lead weights up front will get me into a position, where the truck can do well, if I dont mess up.

Although....had my battery been on the axle from the get go, I would have only had a couple of backs for the first 5 gates........hmm.....

[raytard]

Sorry B.C. ! :smile:

I'll let you guy's know later if I'll be there tonight. I'm getting a couple of things done to the car, for the trip...
Do you have a set up so I could drill 1/8" holes in shafts &/or outputs?


I had to go back to that POS of a LHS we got!
All I needed were the spring & the nut to hold my slipper on...
He wanted to know what it was for; so I told him "a B4"... :roll::lol:

Guess what! They had to order both of them! Guess what else!!
Because I haven't bought anything from them in the past (according to their computer; Because I've never had to tell them my name or #) I had to PRE-PAY for the order... :lol:
It was < $3.00 so it wasn't a big deal but...

And since as far as he knew; I was a 1st time customer. The rest shouldn't have happened... :
I asked when it would be in, & he said "Well if our w/h has it; It should be here Thursday.".
Then after a long pause... I had to ask "if they would call me or do I just show up?!" He was like, "We'll call you whenever we get it."...

[bustedcrawler]

What are you sorry for man? The fact that your course absolutely ate my lunch on 2 obstacles? Or the fact I was spoiled by having 2 different Hobbytowns, that were twice the size of this lil POS that stock about 10x as many parts, with people who were actually interested in make you the customer happy, and I am now forced to shop at this lil rat hole of a joint.

Hey Ray, you think I should bring in the TXT and ask for springs to fit the shocks on the truck? Hahaha

I am very glad to know I can get my lead weights at O'Riely....although I have never been to one of those.....can't be that bad though.

I also used to think springs, and shock oil where common on the shelf items, which at 99.9999% of hobby shops they are...except this one. I am afraid to even go get shock oil, much less springs. Oh well...I think the truck should make an apperance just to F with those priks...

anyone game for a come screw with hobbyclown trip and maybe get some parts?

[phishead1101]

Oh well...I think the truck should make an apperance just to F with those priks...

anyone game for a come screw with hobbyclown trip and maybe get some parts?

Dude ...... I would LOVE to f*ck with those BITCHE$. That would be the awesomest trip to that friggin dump of a hobby shop!!! Let me know when and where!

[raytard]

I'd go; But I really hate that place... I'll be there on Thursday though...

I'll be coming to the shop in a lil' bit! ~ 7:15
I'll bring all my stuff for the V.S....

[SVEN]

Yep, I have some pics. I'll put them up in a bit.

Oh, and I took my Linkless Stick into the knoxville Hobby Town a couple weeks ago and they didn't know what hit them. The guy behind the counter asked me if it was for a science project.:)

Maby we could try to get them involved in our little niche in the hobby and see if they will start stocking parts we all need (like 23mm adapters for one :))

[SVEN]

Sorry if I missed someone's rig, my batteries died before I could take many.

N.L. & I, WILL be available on Sunday!


It don't matter to me where we go.
N.L. would like to go to the Waterfall.

I will know by Fri. night whether or not I'll be there... CooL!?

Hobby clown did not have them when I was there on Friday

[Cubman]

Thanks phish! Tod's Maytag did not have them either. I'm think I'm going to order them from Towerhobbies today or tomorrow.

For anyone running Moabs: What foam setup do you like for East Tennessee terrain? I have read that some narrow their foams, and some narrow them and cut them into a star pattern. No one seems to have determined how many points the foam should have when cut into a star pattern, either. Also, how much weight are you all running in your tires (or on your wheels)?

[merlin]

I'm ready, what time?? If its okay let's meet up @N.S. KROGER, that way I'll be sure to find you. After that wherever ya'll want to go is pretty much okay with me.

I run regular (not XL) moabs with unnarrowed XTM Thorns. One hole drilled in each wheel and No Foam. NO weight, except the batteries on the front knuckles. I have found a lot of weight (in my clod) hurts its ability to pull the front wheels up on a vertical surface.

PRO111900 - We have 'em in at HobbyTown again. But ya gotta be quick. They're pretty popular and sell out quicker than we can get 'em back in.

Rob @ HobbyTown

Welcome to RCCRAWLER now maybe hobby town can start stocking some REAL RC parts!

[raytard]

Welcome to RCCRAWLER now maybe hobby town can start stocking some REAL RC parts!I'll believe it when I see it..!

It's going to take alot, to change my outlook on the local HT. U.S.A. :roll:

I'll stick w/ online shopping, & Rick's RC in Cleveland.

Until several of those kids from HT. start crawling; They'll NEVER cater to us..! :sad:





We have 'em in at HobbyTown again. But ya gotta be quick. They're pretty popular and sell out quicker than we can get 'em back in. Yeah but do you have 23mm adapters to go w/ them?... No!... Exactly...! :wink:



I'm not bashing here. It's just that I've NEVER had a half assed/decent experience at the K-Town HT.
Hopefully things will change!!! :lol:

[raytard]

And since I posted this:

I probably never will... :cry:


Just don't take what "I" say, out on everyone else...

Rob, thank you for taking the time to post this information. Unfortunately, I ordered two pairs from Tower Hobbies this morning before I left for school. Does Hobbytown have the ability to program Castle Creation Mamba 25 speed controls?

Thanks,
Andrew

[Reflection]

Yeah but do you have 23mm adapters to go w/ them?... No!... Exactly...! :wink:





You've not forgot about that yet?:lol: :lol: :lol: I've not either. Pretty stupid to have a set of wheels that require a "special adapter" to run them........and not even have the adapters on hand. Good way to piss customers off. I won't ever shop at Hobby Town again. Theres one guy in there thats pretty cool to talk to,he don't know much about crawlers ....but at least he admitted it right up front. The other guys are dickheads,what makes them so bad is that they act like they know about stuff they don't have a clue about. I'll just keep going to "The Speed Shop" down in Harriman. Mike(the guy that owns it) is super to deal with and has always had awesome prices. He doesn't have a crawler but he's interested and willing to listen and learn.

It's your call.........Personally.....I wouldn't let any of them guys install my body clips,let alone program a high dollar ESC.


They've got a computer,so they've got the required tools. Do they know how to use it though.......I doubt it.

I'm going to Bristol for the Busch night race on Friday,so that day is shot. If you can hitch a ride up to my place Saturday,I'll help ya program it. I'll probly be trying to get my gears set up so they'll hold up for a day's crawl on Sunday most of the day Saturday. I can stop anytime and help ya with that. If I get our trucks ready,we'll probly go down in the woods and work on the coarses. We live up in Sunbright,roughly 35-40 minutes from Oak Ridge. I know it's a decent drive but if you can get up here I'll try to help ya out.

[thunderbearr]

Until several of those kids from HT. start crawling; They'll NEVER cater to us..! :sad:

Thanks for the compliment! I'm 47 and far from a kid. We are more than willing to cater to any hobby, just let us know what's needed. That's all. :lol:


Yeah but do you have 23mm adapters to go w/ them?... No!... Exactly...! :wink:



PRO603400 - Got two sets. Again, ya gotta be quick to get 'em.

William is designing a krawler and I'm going to do everything I can to get more stuff in here. But it's a two-way street. Ya gotta let us know what we should carry so we'll have it. Coming in the day before an event to see if we have an item isn't the way to do it. We do special orders but if we know what you need, we'll do what we can to have it.

RobI run Tamiya Clod axles on my Super, & Tamiya TLT axles on my 2.2 ...

The last time I mentioned TAMIYA in H.T., The "kid" chuckled & said; "we don't & probably won't stock anything Tamiya!"

Also whenever we ask for parts, W/ the part # in hand; Y'all still want to know what it's going on....?!
If we tell y'all we're using Revo turnbuckles on TLT axles, all of a sudden you don't have 'em (even though we can see them, right behind the guy), or we get a lesson on how they won't work...

All we want, is what we asked for..! :roll:




I understand about theft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But.....
Alot of times we have to look at stuff (finger through it), to see if it'll work w/ our application.
There is NO WAY of doing that at the K-Town H.T..

At Rick's; Everything is where you can see/touch it!
There are a few things in cases or behind the counter but...
They'll show it to you w/o hesitation (it don't matter why you need it)! 8-)

Part of the problem at H.T. is there are way more customers than cashiers.
Therefore, we have to wait in a sloooooooooooow moving line till the guy can't SELL anymore. And, God forbid you need help but, your only looking (talk about pissing salespeople off)..!


I'm not mad at you or any of the other employees... :wink:
I just know when to walk away...

[raytard]

William is designing a krawler Hells yeah!!!

All of y'all are welcome to come crawl w/ us anytime!
Just don't let the H.T. bashing, bother you... It's one of our pastimes..! :wink:

Spending time looking/READING through buildups, will give you guys a pretty good idea of what parts we/you'll need for crawling. 8-)

[phishead1101]

Ray, I don't think that could've been said any other way. You hit the nail on the head and rove it home. Amen.:lol:

[Cubman]

If you can hitch a ride up to my place Saturday,I'll help ya program it.

Thanks for the offer! I just got it working. I turns out the cable has to go directly to the speed control, I had a servo extension on the speed control.

I'll be at Kroger at noon this Sunday.

[merlin]

I'll be there!!!! I only have one small problem that I'm dealing with. It would seem that I have wasted the passenger side hub of my jeep. Makes no difference though. I still have the scorpion with the winch. I can still run my jeep but I'll be three legging it. But thats okay gotta work with what ya got right? Besides, I can jockey the hell out of these little jokers

Glad you got it worked out.

I'm gonna do some torture testing to my rig today. I think I figured out why it was stripping gears so easily. I've built a different reduction,basically 1/2 GD600 and 1/2 my own creation. Seems ALOT stouter than my last set up,if it holds up O.K.,I might be able to keep plastic gears. I'm not gonna hold my breath though.

If my truck survives my torture testing:twisted: :twisted: me and Eddie will be there also

[merlin]

It's the 1:6. And it is the grey plastic "hub", but as a result i have broken the crosspin in the drive axle. gonna try to temporary something up. Probably won't last though. Trying to deal with FUNRISE C.S. tick,tock.tick,tock.................still waiting

Can you upgrade to any hobby grade crosspin? What size is the pin? I lost a crosspin once for my 14mm hexes on my Twin. I found a small drill bit that would fit close enough cut it to size and walla,fixxed. Actually,now that I think of it,I'm still running that drill bit,it's getting close to 2 years old I guess.

I'm going to go to O'reily's in a little bit, I'm thinking about trying a "rollpin".
They a made of pretty strong "spring steel" I'm hoping I'll be able to squeeze it together to get it in and hopefully it will stay put.

[Reflection]

I may be a little late boys. My son forgot his homework that HAS to get done this weekend. He's working his little heart out to get it finished. As soon as he get's it done we'll be headed that way.

[phishead1101]

Raptor thats cool with me....are you down for a tug of war today????

I will be over at the Northshore Krogers at noon so that Merlin can meet up with us and then head over to the waterfall.

Do you all want me to bring the tennis balls to set up coursese? if we are doing informal comp I don't have any score sheets and my printer is busted so someone else will have to print them out.....

I am fine with doing a follow the leader or what ever.

See yall around noon!

[Reflection]

Whatever is good with me,might bring the cones just incase though. We can try a tug-o-war. I was pretty tough on my truck yesturday and only stripped one gear. I'm now on my last set of gears. If I break these she'll have to sit for a bit. Might run in the rocks for a bit and try a tug-o-war later. What ever's good with me. I'll be down there in a couple hours.

[raytard]

I'm all about a follow the leader... 8-) No comp for me, this w/e though... :shock:

I'll be there at NooN too, P.H.!

Raptorman:
You know I'll be there for quite a while. So whenever y'all get ready... :twisted:


Hopefully, tommyboy & lumbee can make it out!
I wonder if thunderbearr or William will come check it out..?!?

Well,follow the leader is fine to......................................if you can follow me:flipoff: :lol:

[phishead1101]

Tommyboy isn't comming out he said his Grandma in Ohio isn't doing very well so he will be in Ohio this weekend.

I'll bring the chains for the tug of war, and forget about bringin the tennis balls.

[Cubman]

I had an awesome time today! Raytard, thanks for the driving tips and letting me use your tools. Thanks to everyone who helped me look for the spring retainer. Turns out I don't have a spare (:x ), but I'm gonna try a traxxas one to see if it will work. Once I fix the spring problem, and get rid of that torque twist, I'll be ready for another meet.

Eddie: I'll bring that 1:18 Nylint Jeep to the next meet.

[phishead1101]

Nice to see all of you again out at Northshore. Merlin and Red Rover It was nice meeting you guys hope to see you at the next GTG. Hey Merlin where are those pics at?

Hate i missed it yesterday, but it was mom's birthday

When we getting togather again

[redrover]

Thank all of yall for letting me tag along on sunday
"The Waterfall" is a really great place
I defenitely had more fun crawling sunday than I ever have - even though I had alot of trouble out of the truck
I learned alot - I think I have some ideas on what it will take to my my TXT better now

Raytard - I dont that ill make it whoop everyone - Yall have some sweet trucks for sure, but maybe next time I will at least be able to keep up a little :-P

Again - thank you all for being so nice and helpful and putting up with a newb such as myself
Let me know the next time you are meeting and I will try to be there

[lumbee 1]

i hate i mist the gtg i will make the next one. ha phishead1101 your pm is full i tryed to send you info for club .how did yhe bta work8)

Day late and a dollar short.....like always.


Typical Hobby Clown:roll:

Well, the original question was if we could program them. Not that it needed to be done asap. Relaaaaaaax.

Like I said at the outset, I'll be more than happy to see to it we get in the stuff anyone needs provided they let us know what we need to carry.

I'm here to help, not get dragged into a flame-war. Not my style, gang.

Rob

[thunderbearr]

I wonder if thunderbearr or William will come check it out..?!?

We both missed it. William had to work and while I had the day off, it was spent out of town on family business.

I'm definately going to try and go to the next one.

After all, I gotta see what this is all about. Need that ammo to convince the owner to get the stuff you all need.

Rob

[Reflection]

Relaaaaaaax.


Who's fired up? I ain't,well,maybe a little after that left hander I just finished:lol: ...........just stating my opinion from past experiences.

Look,you guys at Hobby Clown are probably nice guys and all. Hope you get to make it to a meet. We can show you how to BUILD a truck.....not bolt one together following the instructions. The biggest thing that turned me off to Hobby Town,ordering something and it doesn't come in till 2.....3.....weeks later. SEVERAL times,I was told "yeah,it'll be in next week and I'll call you and let you know". I wait a week and a half cuz I know sometimes shipping can take a day or two extra,I used to work freight..so YES I do know how shipping works. After that week and a half and no call,I call...."no sir,it's not in yet".:x I then wait another week with no call,call again...."nope,not hear yet":x :x .Wait a third week WITH NO CALL.....Call in and some dork answers the phone and says "yeah we got it a couple weeks ago":x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x


Thats O.K. though,I don't hold a grudge against any one particular person down there. I know that theres several monkeys that handle each order and whatnot,so,who's to say who's fault it is.....you can't really. I've just finally decided that I will no longer do business down there cuz I'm tired of the whole parts ordering deal. I'll go to the Speed Shop thank you. Mikes got kicka$$ service,WAAAAAAAY better prices and he won't tell his customers that they can't do something that they are building or try to talk them into buying something else.

I also got tired of getting looked at like some kinda freak cuz I want to buy gears for 6 completely different RC's and use them together to build a custom gearbox,or something of that nature. Not everything has to be built with an instruction manual.

I'd like to see someone at Hobby Town build one of my drive shafts,not the whole truck,just one drive shaft. Theres no instruction manual......good luck:-P


Seriously though,99% of most crawlers are 99% custom built. Theres some guys around here locally that have some talent in building custom stuff. Theres also others that are learning quickly and getting better every time they build something. If some of you manual readers would put the books down,you'd probably be amazed at the things you can learn.


One thing I want to make perfectly clear.......

I'm not aiming any or all of this at any one particular person at Hobby Town. You guys are probably nice guys on a personal level. I've just been disappointed to many times shopping at Hobby Town,so I choose not to shop there. I hope you all come out and crawl with us and see first hand,the talent thats there and the fun we all have. Maybe you'll get hooked and build a crawler yourself and start competing with us

[phishead1101]

i hate i mist the gtg i will make the next one. ha phishead1101 your pm is full i tryed to send you info for club .how did yhe bta work8)

Lumbee1 My PM is no longer full sorry about that...try sending your info. don't forget the pictures.

Raptor, That was nicley put. I think you hit the nail on the head! I personaly .....I have only had a handfull of problems with H.T. 1 being not enough people to help in the hobby section 2. not being able to browse threw the parts, I understand the reason for keeping them behind the counter but sometimes I am looking for something (don't now what) and I don't have part numbers. I would like to see more parts and pieces out from behind the counter.

Thunder, I am glad that you are on RCC now and I can't wait for you guys to come and check out one of our Get togethers! Who would I talk to about sponsoring one of our events? We will be having several competitions in the near future, and a full season of comps after the first of the year. I would like to have H.T. get involved because I think that WE may bring in some new faces to the club and the RC crawler scene if we were to work together. Do you guys have any Hobby Town Banners? Or would you be willing to donate items for the prizes at a comp? how does that work? I would like to trade some advertising space i.e your store window for announcing our comps. for banners on our website / banners at the competitions. Let me know the appropriate contact for this when you get a chance.

One other thing, Guys when you think about it RC crawling is still relatively "new" in the rc world......rc crawling is starting to get more and more exposure to the john q public and I think that things will start moving relatively fast in that direction. Hobby shops of the H.T. sort are still relatively NEW to rcrc as well. Just keep that in mind! Sounds to me that if we start telling thunder what we need they might stock a little more stuff in our favor. As for the customer service that is beyond us. If you don't like the way they do business just stop shopping there!

Thanks for letting me know, Rob. If I have any more problems, I'll probably swing by your store (No offense Raptorman, I have to convince my parents to drive me everywhere, and if my mom takes me to Hobby Town, then she get to go shopping in Knoxville).

I would like to see Hobby Town stock a better selection of servos. Airtronics 94359Zs, HiTec 5998TGs, HiTec 5955TGs, HiTec 5995TGs, and 1/4 scale servos. Crawler specific tires, lot of choices for stadium truck, maxx, and buggy springs. Many crawlers use traxxas turnbuckles for links. Almost all super class crawlers use Revo Shafts, so it would be nice if you all have those in stock. Transmission components from the Traxxas Stampede are also very common place in 2.2 class rock crawlers (and my super class rock crawler :lol: ).

Thanks for trying to support our branch of the hobby. If I ask for parts from 5 different manufacturers, please do not ask me to explain it or tell me it won't work.

That is all.

[Cubman]

So... when are we going to meet again?

[phishead1101]

Is there anybody down for this weekend? I know that it is labor day weekend but I will be in town. Might be a good time to try a new spot? I am down with anything1

Hey Rob,

I lost the lower spring retainer for my Twin Force shock absorber at our last get-together. Do you all have a suitable replacement? I think any one from any 1/8 scale buggy should work.

Hey Cub,

I've got a handfull of them. I can get you a couple at the next meet. Or,I'm gonna be in Oak Ridge tommorrow evening getting my ears lowered( a haircut). If you want,PM. me your number and I can call you before or after and we can meet somewhere. If you think I can find your house easily,I can bring them by also if it's alright with you.

I'll check my P.M.'s a little later.

Hay phishead101 did you have a place in mind concord is nice if the water is down, but for some reason I don't think it will be. If it bombs it is just right down from Kroger. Also we have Spring brook in Maryville, Edgewood north Knox, and Hummer of Knoxville let me and momentum play on the display for a while. I am ready to go for Sunday. LMK

[phishead1101]

Tommyboy, You pick the place and I'll follow. I don't know of many places other than edgewood and the waterfall..

[torchedcycle]

Im in just tell me where. Just put 1/4 scale servo on rear :twisted:, ready to try it on some real rocks.

[lumbee 1]

i am in to got the tlt and max up and runing

[tommyboy]

Lets try Concord park if it sucks there is still a lot of un-crawled terrain at the waterfall just down the road.

I might decide to go. I gotta go to court for my divorce Friday,celebrate Saturday:lol: and theres a chance we might go 1:1 crawling Sunday. I've not had the Yota out in about a month. I think she's wanting to be abused for a while. I might help my freind Doug put a new motor in his Toyota on Saturday and get Charles,Bear and Doug and wheel Sunday. If it falls through,I'm down for Sunday. New spots are cool with me. I'll let ya'll know something Saturday so you know for sure.

[bustedcrawler]

I am game! Let me know when and where.

[raytard]

Y'all have a great time & take lot's of vids/pics so I can see what I missed... :sad:

I'm leaving in the next hour or so. I'll be offline till Sunday night.


Peace

[tommyboy]

The water is still covering the good spots at concord.

[torchedcycle]

Are we getting togather sun. if so when and where.

[phishead1101]

I will be going house shopping so I'm not sure if I will make it.

[tommyboy]

I will be at windrock all day.

http://www.windrockatv.com/

[Reflection]

I ain't gonna make it either. I've gotta get a few things done around the house and we'll probly go 1:1 wheeling later in the afternoon. I'll probly be up for it next weekend though.

[Cubman]

I will not be coming either, I am visiting my grandparents in Alabama.

[merlin]

I thought about going to the waterfall. I've only been there once. Also, it just right down from my house. Sometime around noonish. let me know.probably gonna go anyways

[merlin]

I will be at Edgewood park at noon.
tommy, i do not know where it is, but would be happy to wheel the falls. Only been once. Some time around noon. hope to see you

[Reflection]

I wish I wasn't so far away. I've got a couple hours to kill before we go 1:1 wheeling. It takes about 1 1/2 hours for me to get to Northshore so I'd have to turn around and come back as soon as I got there. I may go work on our crawl area down in the woods a little before our ride.

Hope y'all have fun,take lots of pics if you can. Hopefully everyone can get together next weekend. I'm pretty possitive that I'll be able to meet next weekend.

[Reflection]

I've done a little work to our area down in the woods. Just thought I'd share a few pics

One thing I've noticed....99% of the grass and dirt around the rock ledges,it's only about 1 to 2" deep. I can just kick it out of the way in most places. I cleaned off a pretty good sized place with a square shovel in a few minutes. I know it ain't the waterfall and doesn't have as many rocks. I think it's shapeing out pretty nicely. A little more work and it'll be a pretty big spot. If anyone is game we can try to have a get together or a comp here someday if you like.

It looks awesome! If you need any help finishing it, we could all come up with shovels and racks on a weekend. Looks like there are tons of awesome lines to pick.

[phishead1101]

That place looks awesome !!! Let us know if you need help I'd come out to help you with cleen up and stuff.

[raytard]

Hells yeah! I'd be more than willing to come up there! This w/e if Steve wanted to...!!!

Of course; I'd have to borrow tools & such... :roll:
So just let me know!
In a way it's 1000% better than the w/f... We can have as many people there as we want w/o worry of being kicked out. :wink:
+ we could camp-out/drink/etc. !!! 8-)8-)8-)

LOTS of options if you like climbing near verticle ledges. My Clod does... :wink:






It looks like last w/e fell through. :shock:
How'd the house hunting go P.H. ?

[phishead1101]

Ray, Hunting went well we put some damn miles on the car though....like 450 miles of driving this weekend..... We are lookin for a place with some acerage and we found one with 9 acres on the side of a mountain......the house was in need of allot of stuff and it was right near the top of our price range soo...We are gonna keep lookin around I think.

[raytard]

You should LooK for a place w/ Rocks... :wink:8-):lol:

If Steve wants to do something this w/e; Are you game?
Do you need a ride?












Does anyone need a ride whenever we do this...?

[raytard]

O.K. the Wife told me I can't come up this w/e or next (because of gas $$$)... :roll:

Then the next 2 w/e's I won't be here, so... It'll be a month or so before I could come up there. :evil:

I'm sorry for the inconvenience..!



She did say I could come out to crawl locally though... :shock::twisted:8-)


I'll holler at y'all later!

[phishead1101]

You should LooK for a place w/ Rocks...

It's already on the list of requirments for the yard!!!

So who's up for the waterfall this sunday? What about a little competition??:twisted:

Let me know and I'll get things goin.

[Cubman]

I have to finish preparing for a presentation in World History (1/6th of my 9 weeks grade), but if I finish it on Saturday I will be allowed to come to the Waterfall. I might be late again, since my family insists on going out to eat after church.

[torchedcycle]

I'm good to go . Where and when.
Raptorman still want a tugawar we'll go.

[raytard]

I'm game...
Someone please decide...
I'd like to go to Edgewood Park or Haley Park... jm.02
Also, Sunday would be better for me, or I'll just be late on Sat. ~3ish

Also... I miss having Sunday lunch w/ my Family... :sad:
Don't worry.
We wont have all the fun w/o ya... :wink:

[Reflection]

Well,you guys are welcome to come up if ya'll want to. If you guys wanna wait till another weekend though,thats cool also. I'm game for Sunday,any time...any place.

I think I've pulled something in my back pushing those rocks around last weekend. I've been hobbling around all week like a 98 year old man. It just so happens that the church we're building right now is ALL 12" block:roll: That just makes everything that much more interesrting.

As far as camping and drinking....I'm sure it'd be O.K. with dad if we had a little bomb fire and hung out. As long as we picked up all the trash and didn't destroy anything. I don't think I'd even have to worry about that kinda thing though. I just wanna say this,my mom and dad are VERY straight. Seeing how it is their property,I know ya'll know as well as I do,we need to respect their feelings. As long as it's under wraps,grab me a cold one and pop a top;-)

Ya'll don't have to come up to work. I'd hate to see ya come up and work yourself to death. Depending on what my dads doing that day,we can probly use the tractor to move a few biggens. If he's putting hay up or something,maybe not. Sometimes he's got a small window of good weather and he's got to get stuff done before it rains. If ya'll wanna just come up to crawl for the day that's just fine also.



Raptorman still want a tugawar we'll go.


Yeah,we'll give it a shot. I'll try to go by the hardware store and get a few things for a good strap. The old zip ties won't hold.

[phishead1101]

Hey guys I have a show on sunday (Leo Kottke) that I need to get to by 4pm if not earlier.
If you all want to have a comp we should start earlier. I can get out there and set the stuff up and we could start around 11 or so. let me know what you guys think!

[Badd]

sounds like to me i am going to have to take off work and drive 4 hours just to come out and play sometime.

[raytard]

sounds like to me i am going to have to take off work and drive 4 hours just to come out and play sometime.Why; Hell yeah!!! :twisted:
Bring spare parts... The local Hobbytown probably won't have anything you need... :wink:

Bring whoever you want too! All are welcome... :twisted:

[Reflection]

Hey Raptorman, Where are ya'll talking about? I have no problem with an "early" meet. However I only know the two spots. Krogers and the falls.
let me know okay? I'll be on pretty much all night here and there.

[raytard]

I'm only available Sunday...
I can meet at anytime... Anywhere (locally)...
Cubman: You know I'll be there till late...

P.h.1101: I'm not able to financially support a comp this close to Green River but I'll be there having a blast anyway!!!
If balls are placed & you need to leave before we're done playing w/ them... I'll pick 'em up for you. :shock:... :flipoff:

Cleveland Crawlers: Can you make it Sunday?

If this w/e is going to be a big gtg... Maybe we should go to the Waterfall... :idea:

[Reflection]

Anywhere is cool with me. If theres gonna be a bunch of us,the waterfall might be the better place. I'm game for anything.
