i havent read the last few posts here but i would like to offer up some materials. a buddy of my fathers just demo'ed out a very large section of concrete slab. hes got abo0ut 22 tons.:mrgreen: i know its not the best but it can be used for filler if needed.

pm if they want some of it.

oct 15-18.... is that the weekend of the corr event? i hope it is. then ill kill 2 birds with one large stone. if u need a carpenter let me know. i've been building houses for about 8 years and i pretty much got nothing going but school right now that only takes 3 days a weekof my time. i will gladly donate my time to help design and build. i think having crawlers help with the design stage will be a real advantage to making this happen!

once again. pm me if needed, im only about 10 minutes from the shop

i will help all you need i go there all the time

Yes, Same weekend as CORR!! Thanks Guys I will certainly accept your help at the time of the build. As for broken concrete really do not have a use for it wa are using sand bags for filler, but Thank You for the offer. Grand Sprinkler supply has come on as a sponsor and we have access to the finest hard scape material at N/C

just some more ideas.

Nice course build threads.

I know they want to stay more with real rock.

I can't wait to get it built, only problem is it is so far away, may have to move at some point.

Tom,
You are correct! We are trying to stay very realistic the plan right now will be a combination of real rock with rebar framed stucco covered climbs with areas to insert rocks from Novice to Expert size/skill, Several bridges - cable and wood, a wooden structure that is modular to allow changes, an area of cargo net with holes large enough to swallow a tire, And just maybe an elevator.

I am planning our build dates as Nov 2,3 & 4 and Nov 9,10 & 11. I am slowly procuring the material and getting delivered to One Hobbies. Any one that would like to come and share in the build is welcome! I will keep all posted here!

Thx Jeff

any updates

Update, One hobbies is looking into expanding into the retail space next door! This is great, but has put a delay on the build. Looks as if we will be building inside next door after the paper work is completed. More news to follow as Chris develops his plan.

Thx Jeff

made a trip out to the shop the other day... when will you guy have some basic crawler parts?:cry:

with the female take over @ hobby action.... and the possible expansion of one hobby... now is the time!"thumbsup"

We have been building our supply on the as needed basis. Right now we all have AX10's so not to much to stock, but Chris can order anything and will build the inventor based on what is ordered. If this sounds good to you I encourage you to grab some part #'s and stop by to meet him and get them ordered. After he gets to know you he will order by email for you as well as begin to build our inventory.

You are correct as the new SQFT develops there will be an indoor crawing course with all of the needed parts/upgrades on hand.

Thx Jeff

Stopped by one hobbies last weekend and saw they started on their rock wall build. Forgot to take a picture while I was there...found a pic on rctech though"thumbsup" Forgot the the guys name who I talked to that is building it, but said the plans are to take it all the way to the right to the door way and wrap around and cover the backside of the wall.
