Default 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

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!

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.

Ok So the events in the real Top Truck Challenge are as follows-

Truck Pull: Pulling weight with your rig

Frame Twister: Crawler course with strategically placed mud holes, a small mud bog with logs in it





The Mud Pit: Just what it says Better waterproof


Obstacle Course: A Huge steep hill into a a muddy crawler course with 2 S-turns


Hill Climb: This is going to be tough because the area we want to build at is generally flat


Mini Rubicon: No mud, No hills, JUST ROCKS


AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST................................. Drum roll

TANK TRAP
The most dificult part of the whole event, Mixing crawling, bogging, hill climb and prescision driving all in one very tight off camber trail
