Top Truck Challenge
 

Im not sure if you guys know this but, there is a slash track at th Church of All Nations on Powers and Dublin in Colorado Springs. I spoke to the owner of the track and he told me that if any of us wanted to come out and build a crawler course we would be more than welcome to. Its got power and water near it. Not to mention almost 4 acres of build space!

now here is what im thinking wou be cool, We could build an RC top truck challenge course! http://www.fourwheeler.com/eventcove...tank_trap.html
We could have Frame Twister,Mud Pit,Hill Climb,Rubicon, and the scariest of them all... Tank Trap :twisted:

I think it would be cool to have a place were we can build whatever we want! and it woul be cool to see some Top Truck style rigs being built!

Just a suggestion so lemme know what you think! "thumbsup"

It would be cool to see a place that had one set up all the time. We had a TTC in the spring at finishline it was pretty entertaining."thumbsup"

I'm down, I don't know about mud:shock: I hate MUD:badger: I'd rather do what ever and the hell that Skunks doing, looks fun:shock::mrgreen:.

haha why? mud is a really challenging obstacle!

Well im going to start building on my days off. I will post when so some of you guys can come help haha

The Top Truck Challenge we had last year was EPIC. I'd love to do it again.

if i had a vehicle i would be down but the head gasket is still blown so i am going to build one at my house!:shock:if you guys dont end up building it there we can build a huge course here!"thumbsup"

I havent dealt much with the TTC stuff on here,havent read much about it either,,is the TTC's comp for scalers only??? or could you use a comp rig with a scale body on it?

mostly scalers, a 2.2 or 1.9 comp rig would zoom through it lol

And Kronik, you can ride in my car :) were practically nieghbors

pm me your number. whats your schedule look like on goin down there? ho often are u gonna work on it? you still gotta come over and crawl sometime!

how about just lettin a comp rig with a scale body run the courses,,just to run,,,id do it for no points just to run a new set of courses until i get my scaler built

I am implementing the top truck challenge courses to be a full time gig here VERY soon...last years was just too much fun, and I havent even taken the mud off my truck yet!!

that would be great!!!! And sure anyone can run the course!!! Do you have indoor room? an indoor one would be so AWESOME. Im gonna start on the designs and post them up soon, get some opinions before i start to dig

Take a look at this for the general layout idea's.
