How Did I not hear about this. That's one of my spots. I totally would have gone.

I'm so glad I decided to tag along for the scale nats out here in Denver. It is so nice out here! I may have to look for work out here. I already have friends here.

You should follow the Rockford groups face book ( Rock Vally Rc crawlers) we have quite a few get togethers and post when we find events

[talmond]

Not sure what happened with this motor had maybe 20mins of run time. Is this a normal issue ?

[BJoe]

Other than the com needing some cleaning, what else is going on?

Edit, scratch that, found out this morning that we're probably going to have to do Hospice care for her after this weekend

A few weeks ago, I brought home my Ascender kit, all I've done is just stare at the box as I haven't been able to do much other eat, sleep, work, and visit Mom where ever she's been........and I've combined those to some extent too.

Guess this could still be a valid question, Mom appears to be doing much better and will likely be moved into that rehab facility sometime in the next week

The gouges in the armature. It's like a rock was possibly in it. The motor does nothing at all totally dead.

[thzero]

What's up peeps?! It's been eerily quite...

[CrawlinMike]

Chirp. Chirp. Just a cricket here. Johns been on the trip of a lifetime in turkey.

[thzero]

Yeah I know... and gary, hoopty, adam, etc. have been out in Colorado..

[CrawlinMike]

Oh yea. Maybe they been having too much fun to take pictures. Sounds fun.

[badhoopty]

arent we all on the trip of a lifetime in some way?

rmsn was a blast. the courses were just a tad difficult but it was fun. i think i made more gate progresses on my roof being winched than i did on 4 tires. one course... the first gate was about a 6 or 7' vertical winch up to ledges. crazy shit like that.

[johnnyh66]

It sounded like a great time.

I'm back... Turkey was amazing!

Are you guys planning a cliffs trip this summer ? Trying to plan stuff

[johnnyh66]

I've been wanting to take my 1:1 out there...

I'd probably go to a TTC if someone puts one on.
Over the winter I was talking to a few of the Martucky guys about cohosting an event between the Cliffs and their property across the street...

[talmond]

I can talk to the Rockford group they would go to cliffs for sure.

I'd be in for 1:1 and toy trucks!

[badhoopty]

might be fun at the cliffs to do a follow the leader up a really burly ravine or the carnage trail. no hand of god kinda thing.

something a little more loose with more casual wheeltime than a comp or ttc.
