That had to have been scary, Radios aint cheap, got lucky there.

Nacho · 03-26-2008, 11:48 AM

I wanna go somewhere saturday, as long as it isnt raining...Lake 35 or Elephant Rock....anyone else wanna go? IF we do ER i can get another 1 or 2 in with me and split gas if ya want

Mav-1981 · 03-26-2008, 02:17 PM

Well i got the SUV so we can do the same using mine, I got to much crap for anything small. 2-3 rigs, plus my Emaxx (If I go anywhere that involves RC that goes with me,lol) and my bag a what not. I can fit 2-3 with me so everyone that can itch in for fuel is still not going to be much.

Mav-1981 · 03-26-2008, 07:00 PM

OK well plans just changed again, looks like the weekend is ot, I can get by with Lake 35 if the weathers clear, but no road trip this weekend cause I have my son again. I really wish his mom would make up her damn mind.

hairba11 · 03-26-2008, 07:33 PM

I might be able to squeeze in a little lake35 time on saturday afternoon...
not sure of my schedule yet.

Mav-1981 · 03-26-2008, 07:59 PM

Man this is getting tough cause now I have 1 or 2 ready to ride with me done to ER, but my ex wants me to take my son on her weekend, cant argue there, i like having my son but at the same time she thinks she gets a life and I cant have one so I am suposed to cancel my plans at the last minute for her.

Nacho · 03-27-2008, 02:14 PM

Alright...Well I think it would be best to just go to Lake 35...all ths rain and most of our walking at ER would just suck..the lake is all rock to stand on.

12:30pm or so for me

Mav-1981 · 03-27-2008, 02:54 PM

I am seconding the 35 choice.

Mav-1981 · 03-27-2008, 08:58 PM

Gotta watch wet rocks at the creek Nacho and Maxx go to, we went up there today and needless to say, I AM RATHER SORE, a 4ft tumble down the rocks aint fun. Drove home and after sitting in the truck for that 25 mins, I felt like i was hit by a truck,lol.

hairba11 · 03-27-2008, 09:55 PM

yeah, i was almost of the opinion, if I can't walk out to get it, i'm not driving it over there.

Mav-1981 · 03-27-2008, 11:08 PM

It wasnt my crawler, IT WAS ME,lol. Crawler was a ft from my face on a ledge, jsut I stepped on the wrong wet spot on the rock and slip and fell tumbling between down and over, total about 4 ft before I stopped. No damage, just feel beat up. Then of course 2 mins later I am crawlign up the same spot, but at teh top this time and standing on slick little rock ledges that if i fell would be a broken leg at least,lol. My crawler did fall off there where I couldnt catch it in time and from there was over a 6 ft drop down to where I was standing. I broke a link and what not on the way down that, it was pretty ugly and a LONG FALL for a 2.2 crawler,lol. Nothign out there is places you cant get to, the high area you can stand up next to it and the crawler is eye/top of head level, your standing below it. Only thing out there you have to worry about is getting to close to the slippery edge and going in the drink.

BEYOND THAT THE PLACE IS FREAKING AWESOME, I like it more than Simpson personally, but its ntot as big as any of the other spots.

hairba11 · 03-29-2008, 10:14 AM

Nacho, any chance of finding a foot of either 3" or 6" pvc? prefereably 6" so I don't have to buy new wheels.
I've been thinking about drifting the emaxx since our conversation and want to make some slicks without bucking up for a 10 foot piece

that doesnt work...i actually took a wheel/tire into work and did some testing for fitting

You need to find or buy, or call me...you need 4 of the 6" street 45º turn

make sure they are the streets,basically the "street" side of a fitting slides inside the length of pipeand it fits all nice and snug,just have to saw the street part of to use them.I have 4 here,just havent sawed them yet.

Nacho · 03-29-2008, 11:12 AM

oh yeah, is anyone meeting me up at Lake 35 today??? i plan on being there round 12:30

max power · 03-29-2008, 11:53 AM

I can be there

Nacho · 03-29-2008, 12:07 PM

running a few minutes late...but ill be there

I know, I took one into hoods but the largest they had was 4"
the traxxas tires are 5.75" in diameter
I have a set of 40 series moabs that are 6" that I was willing to try

my other thought was turning down a new set of 3.2 wheels to fit in 3" pvc
Turn Down (tern down)v: see also: drive in with a big hammer and a 2x4 for padding.

doesn't look like I'll be able to make it out, time is tight today. I might get some trail running done on the 4-wheeler paths around here. I'll try and do some video and show off.

Mav-1981 · 03-29-2008, 03:02 PM

Well if the weather holds out, I am all up for running tomorrow. If anyone else has the time, we can go to 35 again or whatever. I am going to run past simpson while I am out today, see if they opened it up yet.

JEFF THE JET · 03-30-2008, 10:10 AM

Mav-1981 · 03-30-2008, 10:17 AM
