When was the first USRCCA Nationals?
 

Was the first RC Crawling Nationals held in 06? I don't think there was one before that was there? Who's got the knowledge for me?

I need this info for an article I'm working on.

Yep.

UTRCRC Held a "Nationals" a year before that but it wasn't a USRCCA nationals.

The Utah guys held the first couple, they were the first "bigger" comps that people went to from out of state. When it cam time to do a true Nationals we worked with them and decided to use the same date they had been using.

This year though will officially be the 3rd.

Good info.

I have a follow up quesiton; Would you say that dig made its first appearance at the 06 or 07 Nats?

I remember it as 07. Is that correct?

A couple guys were running it in '06, if I remember right. '07 the majority had it at nats.

Yeah, that's the way I remember it also, the ones in '06 were hand made slip collar digs....the things we used to have to solve on our own!! "thumbsup"

Isn't this thread a bit outdated? But since you mentioned it, I still have this unused.Attachment 251152

And a still working one here from my 07 I think Nationals rig

Anyone care to explain how this worked? Did it disengage the shaft somehow?

Re: When was the first USRCCA Nationals?
 

Male shaft on both outputs (axle and transmission). The sliding portion is female and depending on the setup, it may also engage a brake when it disengages the shafts. The Male shafts are held together by a pin of some sort with space between them to allow movement during suspension flex.


Art, how did you manage to dig up this thread??

Instead of digging up 5 yr old threads, you could go out and practice... you need it!

Lol, I do, my driving was ok, up until I fried electronics in the pro.... and the destroyed the trans in the sporty, that's what I get for not wasting that reverse...

Pro is fixed, Sporty is waiting on parts....

Just over a year now in the crawler world. Loved every second of it too.

Re: When was the first USRCCA Nationals?
 

IMO the shaft collar was much better than any manufactured dig that came after. "thumbsup". More reliable too.

I remember feeling like a pimp when I got mine worked out.

Re: When was the first USRCCA Nationals?
 

At this point shouldn't it be "worlds", not "nationals"? And I don't miss driveshaft digs one bit.
