|  Crawling in the berkshires ! Hey guys , I was wondering if anyone would be into a indoor crawling spot for the winter ? Some guys from here ( pittsfield ) were thinking about building a indoor place to crawl ..If anyone would be down for it ,and maybe help out with some thoughts on building it would be cool .. I also build alot of scale trucks , crawlers , tubers , whatever !! So we been beating up the to hobbie shops here to push more crawler parts in the store !!! Theres going to be a long winter ..We need to build something fast !! LOL ... |

| Are you talking Hobby world with Bob? I used to race up at Megadrome in N.Adams, so I'm down for something indoor, as I have limited space. And sure I could come up with a few ideas. Come up with a floor plan (size of the two-bay) and I could put it into CAD also, so we could see it in 3D. Send a PM if you get a chance. |
