Corbin Park has the best straigh rock crawling areas. I have a couple vids on my youtube page under bsn7079. The Canfield trail access off East Mountain Vista Drive is nice for more trail with spaced out rocks. I have heard that the park over off Spokane Street on the south side of the Spokane River in Post Falls is good for scale crawlers also.

Here are my two vids. To get to Corbin, you take the Pleasant View exit (Cabela's / Outlet Mall) and turn south, then turn east at the light, then go down about 1/2 mile to the turn to the south to Corbin Park. I usualy park at the east end of the park. The crawling starts from there.

I went out today around 5:00. Everything was going good until I hit the reverse while trying to climb up on a rock and lauched my axial into the river. Its running now but it sunk into about 2 feet of water. Luckly it didn't fall a few feet farther or it would have been in the current and down the river.

First Draft Tube Bed for Scale Nationals

This is the short build thread that I put together before I took it over to Scale Nationals and then rebuilt it after. I did all the metal work myself in my basement.

I am going to be going out to Corbin next weekend for sure for a while. I will let you know when if you want to come out and try it.

I will be out at Corbin Park on Saturday afternoon for a couple of hours. I figure I will be out there around 1:00 or earlier depending on the weather. I have an extra 5000mh 6cell nimh batter that I can charge if you run low. I am running lipos in mine.

Been trying to get people together for over five years now, but people up here refuse to be organized. I am still looking for help keeping the web site alive. Looking for a new site host at the moment. I know people have busy lives and other hobbies, but I will hang in there. Maybe next season will be the charm? Keep in touch guys...

Hey man I live in Sandpoint Idaho and our New Hobby Shop has a RC Rock Crawler mountain. Its pretty fun. I run my honcho on it all the time. Running water and real rocks and sticks. But the water wont hurt your truck dont worry. Maybe you should try it out sometime. Every wednesday night is crawler night. Theyre open from 10-5
