I live east of Fort Dodge, or just north of Woolstock if ya know where that is. IaROCK.org is where you will find all the Iowa rock crawler guys. We try to have a comp or get together every month. Our indoor crawler course is going mobile so that will be traveling around Iowa this winter. Follow the link in my sig to find IaROCK. What kinda crawler are you getting? |

the Gmade R1 looks pretty damn good right out of the box, providing you fill it with decent electronics. my first crawler will be ridiculous, I just have to sell a few bike parts to afford it. DMG Nemesis chassis integy 55t lathe novak rooster RC4WD shocks TLT axles lots of aluminum and some cf and at a price I cant pass up. |

The R1 is a TANK. Honestly for a shafty you'll be hard pressed to find a better rig than the LCC. It is in the majority with IaROCK members. I run the 'Ol AX10 highly modified and it's, meh. MOA you can't go wrong with a Bully or Berg rig. Kratos won our Fossil challenge with a HR MOA rig. We do have a XR10 that is showing great promise.

Enroute Tracer V2 is what I'm thinking of going with. I'm a dive in and learn to swim type. Got some nice aluminum bar stock gonna try and design a few weighted wheels. I also have a couple of awesome spots scouted to test at. Thanks for the advice. When the weather gets better we need to gather someplace for a day. any indoor places around central Iowa?  |

Hey raven. As relic said most of us IaROCKers are from eastern Ia. MadDawg travels the farthest from Webster City. There are some guys from Dubuque and several from the Cedar Rapids and surrounding area. The top drivers are from Center Point  A big group of us is attending the Feb 25th NSCA comp. Your more than welcome to ride along. |
