It would be nice if they used the opportunity to move the Axialfest to the east coast for a year. Or better yet alternate east one year and west one year going forward.

I agree Inspector86. The West Coast is a long haul for those of us in the Midwest and East.

I know thats right! Id love to go, but cali is to far for me to go. East coast would be great, maybe even GA. I live in east central AL, not far from talladega...

I think the idea of periodically alternating locations would help keep if fresh too.

Traxxas needs to host an event in Texas, where they're based - they are making money hand over fist off the hobby... (not that that's a bad thing, quite the opposite!)

I like this idea! Maybe a letter writing campaign to Traxxas is in order.

The Midwest and East coast is a long haul for us on the West coast

This actually has squat all to do with Tower other than Tower shared the Axial Post on FB
https://www.facebook.com/axialinc/po...56476653310873

Was actually in Axial's own blog too
Axial Racing - AXIALFEST 2019 UPDATE!

Both posts of which were 3 days before Tower shared it.
But nice try on the fake news, needs more click bait

Obviously they don't care about their East Coast customers!

Heck, even something more central like somewhere in Missouri.

Yup, it would be nice if they moved it further east, I think Idaho would be far enough...

First, for the Traxxas haters, there is this -->

Anyhoo... A Traxxas-fest would be cool, but Tex-ass is not.

Going to try and make this one next year.

Proline By The Fire Event May 18-19 - AppleValley CA.
Was there over the weekend for a local event. Some of the best crawling anywhere. And phenomenal weather, if a bit chilly at night (30's)...

Lot's of granite...

If the California boys were forced to come to the East Coast and crawl on our smooth, wet and slippery rocks they might just quit crawling forever.

oh shyte, he went there. They would have to actually change tires


The other option is they could just play nice with Recon G6 and parker could be involved again. Then there would be plenty of axialfest opportunities.

Hope you guys can make it down again.



We're coming up your way in spring - scoping out Rogue River Valley area for a retirement destination.
