cool Inkdaddy...that's Penitencia creek...I know it well...used to live on Gina court just up the street...hope to have my rig back together some time this weekend...I'm short one part and hope it arrives in the mail on Saturday... |

I think we're all 1 short of a 6pack at one time or another. I'm waiting for some parts too. Was out there at the creek last night...pulled my stock tranny for a summit dinky trade. Waiting on the summit tranny and a set of rovers. I'm SOL for now. Tbolt meatclaws-talkatap |
Yeah good times at the crick. Wanna check out mini hammers again as well. Anybody know if there's more to it than the incline by cheltenham(sp?) road? I walked up to the drainage ditch but that was it. |

mine is actually upright again...FINALLY got the axel mod done and the rc4wd gears are set...want to adjust the rear links a bit, solder up the motors and do a bench test...should be good to crawl this weekend... |
Sweet video...looks like a challenging place to crawl also...bench test went great...feels stout and strong in the driveway anyway...want to find some rocks. I've done a lot of mods to this since my last crawl....if you get the chance check out the vanquish aluminum axel top thread...I think I'm famous in there |

i wanna crawl soo bad too!! i havent crawled in days, even run my buggy! this wisdom tooth surgery has restricted me from doing everything from biking and running. im soo bored, and crawlings been on my mind.. its killing me mentally. ahhh :lmao: |
Thanks guys for adding spots, havn't been to some in a while so if any changes are found in any of them, feel free to post them. I'm gonna post another spot here tonight thanks to Gardenwelder. He found a row of large rocks with a few good lines on them just off Almaden Expy in the Guadalupe river. I checked out the spot with him the other day and it looks like if the river dies a bit more, you would be able to hit up more scale lines down there. |
4 Attachment(s) NAME: Guadalupe River at Almaden WHERE: North bound Almaden Expressway and Wren Dr. San Jose, Ca. HOW TO FIND: If you come from the south side, head north on Almaden Expy. and turn right on Wren Dr, which is like a mile before you hit Hwy 87. If you come from the north, you have to make a u-turn at Koch Ln and then turn rt on Wren Dr. Park right there as soon as you turn right. The no name park has some rock scattered along the paths. The large row of rocks in the back have a few good lines on them. The rest is unexplored and looks like it has potential for some scale if the river dies down and the brush gets cut. Good for comp rigs at the large rocks, you can find a few scale lines if you weave around them. HISTORY: Looks like a new river restoration project. Lots of graffiti and it looks like kids party there at night.

that's funny...my son and I were going to dinner the other night and went right past that place...I looked over and said "rocks"...he just laughed...it does look promising... |
After leaving work today....237 and McCarthy blvd. I saw a lot of rocks against the embankment of the jogger's trail...looked prime for crawling...will try to take some photos and post a link....or send them to crawlitreal so he can do it properly |

Did some more creek slamming today. Here's a few videos of Meatwad's rig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg1Hb...e_gdata_player http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifsYL...e_gdata_player Tbolt meatclaws-talkatap |
Meatwad and I went out to the mini hammers today. Nice spot to bash and crawl. I'd go back out there. I liked it. Broke a c hub on the walk back to the truck. Time for aluminum upgrades. I was thinking of just macihining them myself but it may just be easier to buy em. We'll see what happens. I'll start some dimensioning and see how much time it will take to machine them. Next...we're gonna hit alum rock park. There's a trail that starts at the end of penetencia creek rd. At the parking lot entrance to the park. off to the right is where the trail is. I'll shoot some pics and video while we're up there. GALtab meatclaws-tapatalk |
Good times, good times. Thanks to whoever lost a scale bungee cord btw "thumbsup" |

Postclanker... I had a comp but it got boring. Too slow for me. So I came back into the scene with the scx and summit tranny. I've got kind of a rock racer type setup GALtab meatclaws-tapatalk |

made a course in my yard hello, im new to rc crawling but over the past few days i built a course in my yard. so far I have just dug the area out and raked rocks out the way. i have about 20 mid to large sized rocks and a bed frame along with some other odds and ends to add to the course. name: Empire where: PM me via rc crawler forum. I would like to invite people from the forum to come over and crawl. I'm hesitant inviting people over to my house so please be respectful. Make sure to include your email address and phone number. http://i.imgur.com/kzgp2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/q6HzN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vwurQ.jpg i will update more pictures after i arrange some obstacles. |
So does this mean you're invitingly sponsoring bay area crawlers onto your course? Tbolt meatclaws-talkatap |
You need to dig a few ditches and build a few mud-pits! |
Looks way cool Boyle....what kind of rig you got??? |
i edited my op. contact me via pm if you want to come over and crawl. i dug out some areas and filled them in with rocks and have done more work on the course. i will update w/ photos later on. Quote:

Re: SF south bay crawl spots I usually crawl at Lexington Res. Exit hwy 17s at bear creek road. Loop around and get right back on 17n. Stay in that lane when gettin on the hwy. As it will bring you right to the Lexington exit. Follow the road until you come to the first parking lot on the right side. Park there. The rocks are down by the new boat launch. |
