I think that would be great to get something together locally. I am just getting into scale crawling, don't own yet but have borrowed many rigs. I am just north of scottsmoor, not far away at all.

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Great I hope we can get some people together and trail blaze with some crawlers!

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

I am sure we can make something happen.
Hopefully ill have a rig in a week!

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

I just moved to MI from Alabama. Would be cool to do some crawling in Brevard.

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

I moved back to melbourne from orlando and wanna get back into running my truck. Gonna pull it out of storage to see how she runs soon lol

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Where is there to run in the Brevard area? I haven't seen anywhere along the island that looks all that fun

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

I don't know of any here, probably find a bike trails or park that has a wooded area that can be trail driven

I know Wickham Park has some good potential but I can't scope it out for a while, got a broke leg that's healing.

Rocks look good for a crawler!!

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

I was thinking the same thing. I shoot bow there. Dont see much rocks though

Yeah it seems to be a good trail riding area but not so much for rock crawling...downfall to Florida

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Im building mine into a scale crawler. Just got back into the scene.

Alright quick update. It was pretty fun. Went and talked to parks and rec. She gave me an email. There is a new director coming in soon and i want to go talk to him in 30 days about allocating an area in the park just for us. What i need to know is how many of us are really interested in this. I want to come to them with a course design, size, and any comp ideas we might have to attract others from outside the area. Let me know what ya think and how many are game. We will have to build our own courses and stuff but we can use any debris around town to do it. Shouldnt cost us any money, just time

I would be interested in helping out build something if they let us. Do you know the name of the lady that you talked to at the ranger trailer?

Jessica breault. She said our best bet is to talk to the director in person in 30 days after hes appointed

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

We used to have a good trail at Wickham. I'm still into crawlers

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Lets get some trail rides going

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

We gotta get better organized. I'm willing to put in some sweat equity on a course. So far all I do is bash around the yard.

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

I completely agree. Itd be easier if we had a dedicated space. I know we can just go crawl in cocoa where i have a huge rock pile but i dont think we can really alter much there

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Alright guys. Big news. I used to work at sea ray running a cnc machine. Since i know how to use them i bought a desktop cnc. That means i will be soon manufacturing parts for our cause. I need to know what needs to be improved. Im gonna start with carbon fiber chassis

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Ive got a truck and trailer that i would be able to help move rocks and other obstacles to a dedicated spot.

one of the big things i would say to make is the panhard (spelling) bar for scale truck to get the steering servo off the the axle. it is a super simple design and i could get measurements and put them in a solid works file if my license hasn't expired lol

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Hell yea. The cnc is showing up on the 26th. I even have a local shop for carbon fiber and plexi

Send me a private message if you want my number. I will offer my assistance as volunteer for manual labor or whatever, I am mostly available in mornings or friday all day. This would be soo cool if y'all got set up with the park.
I have been building a small crawl in my backyard and it is amazing how quickly the pile can add up! Subscribing to this thread, hoping we can keep this stirred up.

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

I had a small pile in my backyard and it came together so easily but I had to leave and it over grew but all the rocks are still there to be reused

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Been collecting a few months now, nice little pile build. Ill have pics eventually.

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

I know where a ton of rock we can grab is. Could probably fill 4 trucks full

Finally got the cnc up and running. Went through hell finding a compatible driver for windows 10. Going to start designing parts tonight. First up is a frame for my crawler to make her a scaler

Re: Brevard County RC crawling
 

Ran my first dry run with the machine. All is looking correct. Waiting on my carbon fiber to get here so i can make my first production run of frames
