Cool, welcome bizarrefish. I'm not overly familiar with Northern SD to be honest. May want to check out San Diego Scalers on facebook. They are a pretty big group that tries to stay active and may know crawl spots up there.

| Re: San Diego RC Crawlers Thanks for advice, sent out request to join, San Diego is close enough, only 25 minutes from the heart of the city anyway. No doubt most of the bashing is done north of SD in anycase.

There are crawl spots throughout San Diego. Several in East County (West Hills, Flynn Springs, Summit Dr), a few in La Jolla, Otay Lakes, Chula Vista, Mission valley, Del Cerro, Escondidio are the ones that come to mind that I've been to or heard about within San Diego. In regards to bashing/go-fast, I know there is a decent public track at fiesta island, down in chula vista and there are 2 actual race tracks (Miramar and Chula Vista) to get your race fix. Just got a stock yeti? anything else? What mods does it have? I know some guys are up in oceanside so maybe they know of crawl spots up there since that's considerably closer to you. There are also a lot of spots in Temecula area as well. |

I bought the kit, I'm old school so try and steer away from RTR. I have some mods for the system to make it more robust, mainly Vanquish arms and titanium turnbuckles. Saving for the curie rear axle. Tempted to get the two step solution so i can use it for crawling more effectively as well as a turn of speed. Quote:

If 1/8th scale buggies/truggies can tear up the track at SDRC....I can't imagine the Yeti being any worse than that. Yeah I prefer kits myself, first kit was a rc10b2 when i was 11/12 I forget whenever those came out. I recall seeing a map before on SocalRC but believe it was more track related. It would be smart/interesting to do a GPS/track my crawl/location type of map. I can barely remember to take pictures or use my gopro let alone try and GPS something. Lastly....How did you know my name? I'm Richard... |

I have seen it done on other forums but I forget how they do it, yet, I know for ppl who ride mountain bikes, they used google maps and colored in the area or trail. Thr same could be had for crawling parks/spots/areas. And its modifiable so that anyone in a group (or public with admin looking over) can add to the map. That way new comers or even ppl from out if town or ppl traveling have a map of the spots. Kinda like the weedmaps app..lol. But with google map being thr base. I can look it up and the rest can add to it if interested. I remember know..it was for bmx and skate ppl looking for spots around town (SD) and elsewhere. It was awesome. 100% user friendly. I will see if I can get a hold of the admin on silverfish and see if he can lead me in a direction. If anyone else has ideas, lets hear em! |

Well I was added to the San Diego scalers page, seem a good bunch on there although will take some time to insert yourself into the relationships that already exist. Will take time and a couple of meets no doubt. On the other point for a scalers map, managed to make one in Google Maps here; https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?m...cM&usp=sharing Not sure how you would use the layers and the lines / shape colouring to determine areas to see. Ideally if you made it nationwide or global, people would simply go to their area of interest anyway. Main issue is that editing rights means they would have access to everything unless you embedded the map in a site and asked for grid suggestions.. Anyway, take a look and see what you think, happy to open it up to anyone to play around, just need an email address that you use for google services to add you to the permissions. |
