Panthers are what I like.

Chisels is what Jetboat likes.

Rovers are what Ced Rc likes.

Tires its a preference thing.

I'd wait for the new Losi Comp Claws.

Sand stone can be tricky, I have some chunks on the "farm" course and it almost changes between rains. I have to say, I would wait on the Losi's, they promise to be a great tire.

FYI: eventBright dates have been fixed, feel free to go ahead and register

Mnster · 03-28-2009, 02:56 AM

Registered for all 3...

We're going to get this scale stuff setup soon right? I think the scale comp we have on the calendar is before this event. Not looking forward really to setting the rules for that class. But, hey it needs to be done sometime.

I see were allowing 30 per class, whats the agenda as far as event days go?

jetboat · 03-28-2009, 08:31 AM

IM working with Todd on the agenda, he rolled his truck last week so its been a little slow in making progress this week. He said this weekend will be spent working on the course/event so he said we should have some pictures this coming week.

There are no limits for the classes, only for the preregistration because of the limits imposed by eventbright. If more than 30 want to register I will help him get it figured out.

If anyone wants to throw out some ideas for the event, please dont hold back. Also, he should be at the Meeting/comp at Bob's house so we can all meet in person.

General rules we are looking at for scale class:
WB must line up with body (minor trimming allowed)
Full Length frame
No dig
Must resemble a real rig
Tube chassis' will be evaluated at time of event, pictures of the 1:1 rig are helpful.

Basically the scale4x4 rules.

I got that set when i graduated from school it is really handy for dash work and RC's. How many people are signed up for the event?

jetboat · 04-03-2009, 10:01 AM

not many yet, I think people are waiting to see the course and we havent really been able to get a good "buzz" going. I just got a few pictures of some of the materials for the course but Im waiting for clarrification if they are average size or small compaired to what he is "importing"

here you go BUT be aware this is only a small sampling to show the type of rock not the size. I am being promised car sized rocks. There will be at least 2 tandem loads of slap rock limestone (its what they call it when its first blasted, before it goes to the crusher). There will also be several mounds of dirt built to help with elevation changes (similar to the "farm")

Looking for some volunteers to make a day trip up to move rocks....any volunteers?

kasper · 04-03-2009, 10:40 AM

The FVRCC possably two of us can make the trip its a 2 hour ride for sure for us get a date and let me know in advance and were in as long as i can find a driver to get me there .

j182j · 04-03-2009, 10:57 AM

What date are you thinking for moving rocks? I maybe in the area and can lend a hand.

jetboat · 04-03-2009, 01:08 PM

Just talked to Todd, he said the rocks in the picture are the small stuff, the majority will be the size of a postal drop box and they are working to get a few the size of a geo...

sure but, not sure how well they do once the truck drives thru the sand traps Im putting on each course

Ced RC · 04-03-2009, 03:41 PM

I'm working on a self cleaning/spray adhesive system, still in the development stages though. Sand traps? No problemo.

jetboat · 04-27-2009, 02:28 PM

For anyone on the fence about going....

Cash Payout has been added!!!!!
$200 First place 2.2

Sunday Dash for the cash, winner takes all first to the top wins.
