| 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! Last edited by bmx_ican92; 01-25-2010 at 12:38 AM. |

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 |
