i'm trying my best almost everyday to get my coworker and his brother to build a scaler. they really like the comp style 2.2's cause "they go so many more places"

other than those two it seems like everyone else into r/c crawling is at least an hour away.

make some good scale trail videos and invite people to come. These days there are people that drive almost 2 hours to get to Vasquez for our get togethers. If it looks fun and you get a few together you'll get more people interested in it.

Depends on what format you are trying to convert to and from what? Here is a link to a free converter. I have used it with success on many different formats. If you don't find the format you need, just type "movie format converter" in google and there are many free ones....I have also used one called ImTOO Mov converter 3...

Good luck,

JB

directions from the 275 bridge. i couldnt get them to take you all the way there but its simle after they leave off

1.Head northeast on I-275 E Entering Ohio
7.3 mi
2.Take exit 65 for OH-125 toward Amelia/Beechmont Ave0.4 mi
3.Turn right at OH-125/Ohio Pike (signs for Amelia) Continue to follow OH-125
8.0 mi
4.Turn left at OH-222/State Route 2220.8 mi
5.Turn right at Slade Rd0.7 mi


once your on slade rd follow that till you see a huge field on your left. turn left on that rd and follow it to the end. park in the lot and walk towards the bottom of the dam. where the water releases is where all the poured concrete stuff is

depending on what time you go ide like to go. so if you want give me a call and i'll see if i can make it
