I will get some pictures of the rocks. The rocks arent natural but are very challenging. They were added to the ditch bank to stop ATV's from jumping the road.(we will work out a gated course).
Our highlight of the GTG is the TRAIL portion of our event. Thats why we are into scale vehicles and not all out rock crawlers. We have to work with what we have.
I gaurentee a FUN time though.

I love trail runs so this should be fun. Definately going to have to change the motor out in my rig though. Ole twitchy has got to go (stupid sensorless motors).

Well Raymond is only a mile away. I will check with the city to see if I can get permission to use the city building.
I have a couple of other ideas as well.

Wow, I'm stoked!

I finally get to put my backpack to good use....

No bathrooms kinda sucks though. Sometimes, it hits me all of a sudden and I've gotta go right then and there! Jk, I should be fine

I just hope my shotty batteries are up to the task...

Lol, I can't solder worth crap! lol, though, it may be my cheapo iron...

I might just break down and go LiPo. I'm in the middle of moving (across town) so money's tight, but I might have some free cash closer to the g2g date

I got the GensAce bats from hobbypartz and I love them.

GENS ACE 4000mah 2S1P 7.4V 30C Hard Case Lipo Battery ROAR Approved (Direct Version)

The last time I was out, I got almost 3 hours from one battery

For $22 you cant beat them.

Right now they are offering free shipping on any order over $50

No disrespect, but I'd prefer something a tad smaller... But the price is pretty awesome!

So anyone wanting the pdf to print off and place in thier local hobby shop just PM me your email address and I will send it to you or I can snail mail some to you. I tried to upload it here but it wouldnt let me upload a pdf.

if you have windows 7, use the snipping tool in the start menu to "capture" the flyer to a .jpg and upload that.
