Yep, I could do that we would need to plan it out so I can let the boss know. Dont think my 9 month old knows yet what to crawl.

When were you thinking? Maybe we can get some guys together?

NCT_Guy · 07-14-2012, 11:02 PM

About 4 of us with Wraiths will be at Vasco tomorrow @ 8am till noonish.

We moved a ton of rocks last weekend and now have some great sections linked up for a decent trail, ran out of tennis balls QUICK and need to chop up more haha.

If anyone wants to join up out there we are more than happy to meet some new faces.

did you guys crawl Vasco on sunday? A regular South Bay crawler and I went to Coyote Hills yesterday with a couple of wraiths and an XR...fun place. Saw your post to late to change the location, or we would have joined up with you guys...I have plenty of tennis ball markers

hope to join up with you guys in the future....

ANoodle · 07-16-2012, 03:41 PM

Coyote Hills is a great place to go too, been there with 2500HD. I didnt happen to make it on Sunday but maybe this weekend

generalee7 · 07-18-2012, 09:52 AM

Where is Coyote Hills? I'd like to check that place out.

NorCal 2500HD · 07-19-2012, 12:22 PM

Its in Fremont, just N of the Dumbarton toll plaza. Best to hike up to the backside becase all EBRP's have the no R/C policy. Parking is $5 and theres a ton of lines to choose from..

Postclanker · 07-19-2012, 03:23 PM

Hey NorCal...Meatwad and I went all the way to th end of the drive in and parked at the visitor center prking lot...then climbed up the hill right there. Is there another crawl spot that you know of ??? We'd go back but being a noob at the location, we didn't know where to go...we got lucky climbing up the hill

NorCal 2500HD · 07-19-2012, 03:37 PM

When you pull into the park and pass the booth, park in the first lot on the left You can walk to the top of the "matterhorn" rock and crawl all over that thing. Pretty good spot for scalers, a little too easy for the comp stuff but I'm sure you can find some lines to run though. If you end up on your lid, its a long waaay to the bottom.

Postclanker · 07-19-2012, 05:07 PM

That's cool Norcal...thanks...we'll ping in this thread when we go back...both of us enjoyed ourselves with what we found...even breaking a universal on the wraith didn't faze me...second one I've broken...

Meatwad · 07-19-2012, 10:26 PM

We hiked from that back parking lot to almost the first one. I'd go back.

generalee7 · 07-21-2012, 12:39 AM

Chances are I'll be going there this weekend even though it's supposed to be bloody hot. Hoping I don't puff any lipos there or at Norcal Hobbies

Some good looking rigs! I'd like to meet up with more Wraiths, how many are in your group? If you have a spot down by you or if you guys wat to come up here. Depending on who out of our group can meet we have about 7 of us running them.

Nick

Postclanker · 07-22-2012, 08:41 AM

There are three of us that have wraiths...two of us are pretty regular about crawling and are always looking for a new place to wheel. I'm sure we'd travel to you guys...Vasco seems like fun.

There's a couple of spots here in the south bay...Alum rock park and Linda Vista park. Alum rock has a fair amount of water and has resulted in both Meatwad and I to waterproof our rigs...and not by choice...we've both been submarining...

but with no damage

Linda vista is like Disneyland .....but about 15 miles south additional travel for you guys....
Either way, would be good to meet up with some others....especially wraith guys

Interesting, you guys have a wraith class? Or would it be under 2.2 class?

Also seen your you tube and this wraith video was great

AXIAL wraith ROCK racer. The last half is the best half!!... - YouTube

MR.VERTICAL · 07-31-2012, 10:13 AM

Yes it would be in with the 2.2

NCT_Guy · 07-31-2012, 10:20 AM

Sounds good, never been to a comp but heard its fun and I am sure it would be a great place to see some cool rigs! I'll have to see what myself and other guys in our group is doing that weekend.

JRock · 07-31-2012, 11:06 AM

Guy's just be careful with the rangers at coyote hills, Weve been kicked out of there 2 times for some kind of bird they have there that makes it's nest in the bushes

They ranger thought we were drilling in the rocks until he came up and saw the rc's and then he asked us to stop running the rc's and if not we would be asked to leave lol

LERK has been thinking of a Rock City run so i'll keep this thread informed

Been there also, never saw rangers. Always keep out of sight.

JRock when is the run to Rock City.

NorCal 2500HD · 08-01-2012, 01:56 AM

ALL east bay regional parks have a zero tolerance policy for Rc's of any kind, just watch out for the puke green trucks and you will be fine. The weird thing is you are allowed to fly gliders at coyote hills though.

The bird nesting issue is mostly on the frontage road that takes you to the pier. They usually put up orange netting to keep the birds from congregating on the road..
