Central Florida, looking to Crawl but Im NEW
 

Well I just got my SCX10 last weekend and I love it, just dont know anywhere to go and run. Anyone know anywhere in the Central FL area. Im in the Orlando/ Casselberry area. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the addiction! lol

The Sanford boat ramp where 17-92 crosses the st. Johns is I good place to run trucks. Actually the best place within 20 miles that I know of.

when does everyone wanna meet up at the boat ramp for a gtg? i just ordered new stuff to build a new truck like frame t rex 60 axles r2 transwith 2 speed with dig for 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive the new m/t sidebiter 2.2 and 2.2 boggers i have a hard plastic chevy body im gunna build a scale truck like my 87 chevy

Im up for heading over there anytime.... right now my schedule is open after 9am (I work 1st shift 11-9am) that will change next week. Got a promotion and Im getting day shift with weekends off..... YAY!!! Anyways like I said let me know when you guys are gonna head over there I would love to check it out and get to know some of the local people. Thanks for the tip about the boat ramp. Not exactly sure where it is but Im sure I can find it.

I dont have a scaler, just a couple comp crawlers, but I live about 10-15 min from the ramp so I'm game for pretty much any saturday or sunday. Early morning is usually best to beat the heat and the rain.

side note: we have a comp tomorrow down in st pete at the skyway bridge rest stop, I'm pretty sure a bunch of guys are gonna have scalers w/ them too. here's the thread

If you guys get together let me know I will try to there to have some fun

OK so I had to drive to my Mother-In-Laws house today in Lk. Mary so I decided to take a hop over to see what this area uder the bridge was like.
I took I-4 from Lake Mary I believe going East past the Mall on the right, got off on the exit for 17-92 came around and went right off the exit. There was an entrance on my right for the loading ramp area..... this is where I was confused, where is it that people go to crawl or scale? Is it the first mound of rocks up under the bridge at the first part of the parking area. I noticed some nice rock area, didnt seem to be any trails, but there were a couple of nice little dirt ledges and washout areas. Seemed ok, but again Im not even sure if I was in the right place. Any help would be great. Thanks... and if anyone is feeling like going over there tomorow let me know. I get out of work 9am.

You are in the right place, the area gets interesting with scales because of the water run-off and some areas of the rocks are HARD. With comp crawlers they do well if they are set for the type of rock. I use summit and some parts get hard because of it's size. I have some video of me running there the week I got my summit.

I will post link to specific video from computer, hard to do from phone app. Meanwhile search YouTube for videos from zepolfun4u those are my RC vids....

Did you guys go? Sorry I busted some diff gears. Messing around in the yard... Now to take it apart and see what's up.

Hope you had fun, maybe next time...

This weekend I went out to the state comp at the Skyway. Might be trying to make it to the sanford bridge next weekend, but time will tell.

Im down for some early morning crawlin on Saturday. Just let me know. Its about 20 minutes or so from me. It would be cool to get out there and have some fun.

Just curious if anyone is going to the boat ramp this weekend. If so what day and what time. Thanks

Are you?

My summit is still limp but I'll run it till it breaks if people are going....

Going be there at 930

May have change in plans depending on replies

Anyone plan on crawling this weekend??? If so let me know. and try to give me more then an hours notice....

I use to live in Casselberry actually. I still make the occasional trip there, as my father still lives there.

I'll have to keep an eye out for anything going on next time I make the drive, and bring my SCX10 along with me! I'm a newB to the crawlers myself, but quickly getting in deep :D

I might be able to make it out with my AX10 for a bit on sunday, but the berg is getting torn down yet again so I can build up my brand new Viper

Well, 2 of us are heading over the the bridge off I-4 and 17-92 (the boat ramp area) we are leaving from Superior Hobbies around 2 so if you want head out and meet us there. Superior hobbies is in Orlando/ Casselberry area.

Sanford
 

I am going to go Sunday for a while in the early afternoon and run my AX10 Eclipse. Anyone else want to go?

I usually try for morning to beat the heat, but I could do early afternoon too. What time u thinking?

Sanford
 

I will be there around 11:30 ish

Myself and K20Man will also be out there. Ill be running my Honcho. Ill head out there around 11am Hope to meet some new people to crawl with. Me and Anthony had a great time there today. Place is great with a lot of good options for different rigs. See you there in the AM. "thumbsup"

Well hope to see some of you out there this morning. Ill be heading out in about 30-45 minutes. Post up if you are plannin on going out there. Thanks.

I'll be there in about 20-25 min "thumbsup"

Well I had a great time out there today. Got to meet up with Version three, and also orlandocrawler. Both great guys, kindof wishing I had a comp rig to follow them with but my Honcho was actually holding its own fairly well. Obviously not getting up the rocks they were but it was doing well. A lot of driver error so I wont blame the vehicle too much, lol. Anyways here are some quick pics of the morning. Hopefully we can get some more people out there on the weekends. Maybe even set up some gates. Im eager to learn how to do this.

:flipoff:

It was great meetin both of y'all today, I had a great time. Any time you wanna try out one of my comp rigs, just let me know. Next time I'll bring some gates too.

Had a great time today. Nice meeting you guys! NO I DONT WANT TO RUN YOUR BERG!!! LOL It will ruin me!!!! After watching it in action I think my next rig will be MOA"thumbsup" LMK when you guys want to GTG again.

Oh yeah I think some LOCTITE is in order for my rig!!!:???:

Im down for any weekend morning EARLY. I want to stay out of that unbareable heat. I was soaked. Next time Ill bring a ton of gate markers (tennis balls cut) so we can actually do some running. Ill record it and get some video of you guys runnin. Had a good time. Cant wait for it to get cooler.

Yeah, just like I should never have run that Ken Block :lmao:

I'm starting the teardown on the berg tonight, but my ax10 is always ready to run, so just say the word next time y'all wanna have another gtg.

Anyone going out there today??? Just let me know.

Cant get out today, Family is coming over from Tampa for a cookout. I need to get started on my course here in my backyard soon. I hope to get out next weekend. I still need to build my custom lower links and thinking about putting my dig back in my rig.

I won't be able to get out before next saturday or sunday.

Dig will definitely help, even though it puts a servo up high. I didn't have any real issues with mine while I was running a full-size dig servo - I just switched to a mini for some extra clearance.

I would really be interested in going out there this weekend depending on this Damn storm coming. Although it would be pretty nice out there after the storm. Im sure that run off area will be like a little river..... "thumbsup"

Let me know what you guys think.

Anyone gonna try to go out there....... :mrgreen:

My berg is still in pieces, but I can always bring out the ax10. Which day are you thinkin?

It really doesnt matter. which day were you thinking. Sunday morning early sounds good to me. Just let me know. Im going to PM you with my Cell number so you can text or call if needed. "thumbsup"

Keep me in the loop... I like to make new RC buddies
