GSRC gtg schedule 2008 (st. louis)

[hairba11]

Gateway Scale Rock Crawlers get together dates for 2008

We are a group of laidback RC nuts who get together to showoff and have fun.
Anybody can come, run what you brung
Scale in our case just means less than 1:1 not specifically scalers.

This will just list "Official" gtg dates, impromptu gtg's can and will still happen through the normal "hey anybody bored today" threads.

2008: First Sundays around noon.

March 2: Simpson park

April 6: Busch Park,

40/61 to left on 94, then hang a right on D. Busch wildlife entrance is only a few miles up. Then you just basically follow the signs to lake #35. Parking shouldn't be a problem.


May 4: JB (jefferson barracks) park.

[Pete from Houston]

I'll subscribe to see what y'all are doing for the July meet. I'll be passing thru on my way from Chicago to Houston on July 5-6 and plan to have my WK rock racer with me.

[JEFF THE JET]

[elvis]

Well lets schedule a few at the creek trail in barnhart. Warm weaher is good for the creek.Waterproof your rig especially after a rain and bring bug repellent.

elvis:
I figure we'll try and do the july one in simpson so it is closer to the city for our traveling texas brother
do you figure it is drier in june or september?

waterproofing and bug spray? sounds a lot like camping to me :-P

see if you can find the area on google maps so we can add a link to it for those unfamiliar with your location.

Well looks like the guys at MT were a bit off, they didnt know of any groups here for crawling, but one guy told me to check here, so props to MT for helping me out.

I am curious, want to make sure this is more or less open to anyone into crawling. I am new to it but spent time using castlewood to understand how to drive, how things work, and time reading threads here to learn all I can.

I have a couple AX10s, 1 comp (if it meets regs), one scale in the build process right now, an a maxx crawler custom that should hopefully be back to me next week. If I read the other threads correctly, these all are ok.

I am out for fun and to get more into the hobby (minus club politics, been there done that, not again,lol) as crawling became my second love next to my helis.

Happy to see there is a place for crawlers here in STL.

[hairba11]

Alright, I guess we'll let you come play with the cool kids this time...





j/k, bring it on, hope to see you there.

H

[Mav-1981]

LMAO, OK now I know this is going to be fun, you guys have a sense of how to be a wise A**. I will fit right in.

I have seen way to many thing in RC helis and Cars where guys are just too uptight, takes all the fun outta it.

By the way, I am the cool guy joining the "RC Dorks" (my g/fs way of putting it,lol)

[hairba11]

and lemme guess, you're one of the guys whose second ax-10 has a pink body so your g/f will drive it?

[Mav-1981]

Funny you should say that.

Nah my old version Emaxx (I actually have 2, gave my G/f the old one when I bought the new version) has a purple body with silver-blue "flame" design per her request.

So you weren't far of, which is scary. B
But the crawlers are ALL MINE, I AINT SHARIN' lol.

[RCminded]

Haha, purple. Yeah we are pretty well relaxed. Everyone brings a little bit of everything out when we get together.

[Mav-1981]

Sweet. I will probably have my small heli with me too just to grab some aerial vids when everyones climbing around.

Now if TCS would put the sace frames back "in stock" on the site so I could get it here, I would be much happier,lol. They told me they just gotta pack them up, must have a ton to do cause its been 2 days already. Working on the tube frame for my comp AX10 right now but thats not a huge rush, climbs really good now, I sut want the tube look. The Scale rubicon is driving me nuts cause I want to get that up and going, I will do the fancy stuff over time, but put together and climbing is my huge rush right now.

So what are you guys in the STL crew running? Wanna know what I am up against,lol.

[sniper]

I have a bone stock AX-10 and a 1.9 scale chevy. and i'm bringin the Alumatruggy to throw dirt in everyones eyes.

[hairba11]

I have,
well, actually i had thought about starting a missouri rides thread...
anyway, I have the '41 willys king
14'r txt (it's actually running)
the txt super donated it's servos to the 14'r. I still haven't got my plates made up yet.
if the esc and motors come back from traxass i'll bring my all new emaxx along
maybe a mini quake.

[Mav-1981]

I may bring my beast since Simpson park of course has water everywhere, the spill way may be some fun for it.

[JEFF THE JET]

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPARE DRIVE SHAFTS FOR MY W.K ? OR ARE THEY MAXX SHAFTS?

[Mav-1981]

This is going to be too much fun,lol. Crawlers and MTs, lets see how many of us manage to go home with everything in one peice.

I may even bring my psyco little Mini LST2. Wont crawl well, not much in low end torque, but full lockouts and on 1/10 buggy tires, would be interesting.

Man I feel like a real noob,lol. Talking about things i dont understand, been a long time since i have been at this level, oh well nice to not be expected much of again, lol.

[max power]

I've been doing this since 2005, I'm still confused

Only rig running right now is the Brat, the Brushy donated the tranny for my K2 so I'll have a 2.2 rig there in theory.

Some yahoo pointed out a Wheely King the other day at the LHS, been on my mind ever since

[Nacho]

I have a mildly modded AX10..running..kinda?
And an Emaxx that has seen better days, but runs..last time i checked

Altho ill just bring me to this event if i can make it
