Yes, that's 5 cans of great stuff foam, haha, mixed in with a few pieces of wood for support, on a 2'x4' board, I need to skim coat it with some quikcrete still. And I have plans for a semi modular course in my basement using insulation foam with a little expanding foam, and skim coats of quikcrete. Since that photo, I've added rear steer to it. |

How's it going? I'm George. I got my scx10 last month and I think already I've run it farther and longer than my slash, mini summit, or any of my planes or helicopters. I think the biggest reason for that is I've been going to every park I can find with my wife. She walks the dog, I drive around walking with her. Living in Burnsville right now. I'm still a total crawling newbie, but if anyone wants to go do a trail run or knows a good trail around this area let me know. |

You'd probably get a bite or 2 if you started a new thread. This area is basically for introductions.

Hello fellow Minnesotans! I'm up on the north shore of Mille lacs, about 45 minutes from Brainerd. I'm new to the crawling/scaler scene, and just got an Axial SCX10 Rubicon that I won in an on-line raffle. While I'm new to the "slower side" of R/C, I've been into R/C since the 80's. I'm also relatively new to the state, and originally from Massachusetts. I've been in this state almost 3 years now and have yet to meet anyone else into R/C in the area. Hoping to meet other scalers or crawlers, and R/C enthusiasts. Until then I'll be building some type of scale/crawler course on my property, and also an off-road 1/10 scale track. |

| Re: New member intro area. A place for new MNRCRC members to introduce them selfs I'm down for Saturday. Boardwalk sucks but enger tower and Thompson dam are usually a good time. Courious about amnicon though. I've never been there.

Come on out to either a comp or a scale gtg.... No reason to be apprehensive... Just a bunch of middle age men playing with toy trucks! |

Don't be afraid to run your truck in the comp. Some of us have been doing this a long time and still suck at driving. |

I would like to introduce myself to the local scene as well. Last year I bought a SCX10 along with a pair of New Bright JK bodies. However I quickly realized that at the time my ambition was bigger than my wallet, and I had too many other expensive hobbies to introduce another one (I trail ride and race dirt bikes). But now that I have my truck and motorcycle paid off I am getting back around to lengthening the wheel base on SCX10 and starting my two JK builds. I have spent several years building scale military models, so while one of the bodies will be for general bashing, the other will be kept more as a scale model. I hope to make it to some of scale gtg's this fall, and also hope to meet some nice people on here in case I have questions or need help with my build.

Hey guys, I am new to RC all together and looking to get my first truck soon. I live and fridley and hope to be meeting some of you guys down the road. I am looking at the wraiths, looks like a cool truck. I am also interested in picking up a 1/18th scale RC to race my buddy in his little back yard track. |
