Hey guys I was wondering what lipo batteries to buy? That gmade is just killing these batteries. I am running the novak rooster crawler and it says it can handle 2 li-po cells, thats only a 2 cell pack right?

Right, it will handle 2 cells in series or 7.4 volts. You could run a bunch in parallel making 10,000mah, as long as it was 7.4v. Any size/capacity battery, as long as it's 7.4v is what I'm trying to say.:-P

Well our first test N tune was kinda light on crawlers, but it was only the first one. Joe, Josh, Larry, Seth, we all had a great time.

One guy from ? showed up and he had this great looking home built 2.2 tube chassis, he ran most of the course and loved it, he said that he will be running the SummitRock with us this summer. If you read this would you PM me your name and location, I am sorry I forgot I should have wrote it down.

I was there,just because I don't actually own a rock crawler doesn't make me anyless of one,:-(. I drove josh's that counts right. No i'm just playin it was a good time even though josh almost bit it on my bike. SOON I WILL BE THERE AND I WILL DOMINATE, ok maybe I'll just be there but thats good enough for me.

[ovalracer]

ok now I'm not just a watcher. I actually own one now. I got it up and running. during my day home sick from work yesterday. goin to try and race saturday but I will bring the crawler too. a legends motor seem to fast but its what I have handy for now .adam

Alright Adam!!!!!

Ok guys I just dropped another big load of rocks off at the track! I have 4-5 big rocks I want to get BUT, I cannot pick them up. I am working some thing out though.


I have been thinking about guys moveing rocks and changing the course on there own.......... I came up with this:

No one may move or reposition rocks except by or with the SummitRock commity! Which will be hand picked by myself. When I have contacted and confirmed who the SummitRock commity will be, I will post up hear and Hobby talk, also this will go up on the SummitRock web page.

the reason for this, will be to maintain the uniqeness of the respective courses, if every one can move or place rocks any where they want, then what good will it be to say you have made a certain obsticle when all you have done is built a road to do it....

Next test N tune will be Sunday May 4th. I hope to see a lot of crawlers graceing the hills and vallys of the SummitRock course!!!

I know I got a lot of testing done on the last Test N tune, the ax-10 is getting better every time I try some thing new.

Also, remember any one can come out and practice any day summit is open, You will need to have a DSM radio if you come out on a race day, other than a rock crawling day.

5 weeks till the first SmmitRock #1 Sunday May 25th

First run yesterday wasn't too bad. Have some glaring issues to work out, should be close to being back on the road.

I heard Jeff Barney is talking about getting a crawler.

[airborn]

Hey guys about the no altering the course thing. I do not wan't to sound like a controll freak "my wife says I am" so I thought I would post up about a certain obsticle that would give a very good reason for the no rock moveing.... Today I stopped by the track on the way to work, Ken had his crawler out and was trying all sorts of stuff. Ken could go up this one verticle climb with no effert at all from any angle, I on the other hand made it say 25-50% of the time. So I need to have more seat time or change my set up, now if I just threw a rock in there.... well presto I would not need to do any thing and all the hard work Ken has done I just threw a rock at it.

Any way just talking, since I had a little time to burn.

Hardly seems fair calling it work when it's been so much fun :-P

It's interesting seeing how even through Seth, Marshall, Frieburger, and Myself all stated with the same kit, they all have taken different paths and seem to crawl well with slightly varying strengths.

Looks like there will definitely be a few crawlers and more racers eyeing them and talking about trying it out.

I'm have more fun tinkering with ideas in the workshop than I've had in a long time.

The SummitRock Commity will be:

Joe Bander
Josh Luckadoo
Seth Barrand

The duty of a S.R.C. is to ensure the integrity of the summit rc raceway's rock course.
