| PARC Boulder Battle #2, Sunday, January 9th, 2005
PARC Phoenix Arizona Rock Crawlers Boulder Battle #2 Remote Control Rock Crawling Competition Sunday, January 9th, 2005 Phoenix, Arizona Boulder Battle #1 was a blast and we all had a good time. We will most definitely improve the rules and set things up so that the event moves along more smoothly and the action remains constant. The competitions will be held where 24th street dead-ends at South Mountain Park, approximately 6 miles south of Sky Harbor Airport and Downtown Phoenix. Parking is available just west of the dead-end. A follow-the-leader/fun-crawl will start at 9:30am. The competition starts at 11am and will run until 1-2pm. After the competition we will continue to crawl for fun. A map of the location is provided below. For more information, contact boulderbattles@yahoo.com http://www.geocities.com/boulderbattles/ |

Since I'm stuck here in the boonies with no steel supplier, I get my stuff at Checker (brake line) and home depot (hardware)

But its all about the steel I really like steel links, they're easier to make, threads are much stronger, and they slide over stuff well. And its good weight down low. | |

Some alloys tap better than others. I'm also using Tap Magic. But.....yeah......stainless is a pain to thread. Jay |

looking foward to meeting you and seeing the new rcrockgear chassis. the 16" wheelbase will be more competitive with the majority of trucks that will be at the comp.
