Crawling around STL

[silverado2004]

Gotta trail honcho and a few other rcs. Looking for a few people to geek out with in the STL area. Im in Benton Park, but am willing travel. IF you could post up here a week or two in advance with times and places, that would be great.

Oh, i go from dogtown (by the zoo) down there. I like to go mountain biking to a good spot and have a book bag with my crawler in then when i ride to a good spot i unload and crawl.

[gcarrell2]

nice! lol. im eventually going to have to buy another battery pack as i see me wanting to go longer than just 1 pack can provide lol

[masonis1]

I ran a venom 7.2 5000mah high discharge battery and i was out 4 hours and it wasnt near dead. So.... But the creek bed is good for scale in my mind, trails are easy, now like this one trail it has a hill that is very steep with lots of roots and its hard to get up...

[gcarrell2]

wow thats good. what motor are you running though? mine is the 27t stock motor

[masonis1]

Im running a novak rooster crawler esc and 55t motor.

[gcarrell2]

ok. ill upgrade my electronics sometime in the future but for now ill probably stick with the stocks for costs reason lol
