He also has a decent amount of parking.

We intend on being up and running by early March and will be holding a scale crawling competition, mud bog, and truck & tractor pull (pulling in association with Mid Missouri RC Truck Pulling Association from Columbia, MO). By late spring I'd like to start a monthly point series.

I may have to make a road trip for this!

I have watched your vids on youtube and liked you on facebook and just wanted to say that I live about 60 miles north of St.louis in a town called Carrollton,Il. I have a venom creeper truggy with a 80's chevy body on it. I have also read one of your post on facebook saying you might be at this upcoming monster jam at the edwards jones dome and me and my family are planning on going this year too so hope to see you there and I love your wraith and your vids. Great Work

Thank you very much! Sweet Creeper. I love those old pickup truck bodies.

As for Monster Jam, I'm talking to the event director tomorrow to see if we can do a demo at the pit party. I have quite a few contacts from my time working in the monster truck industry. Normally it would totally cool to do it but being that I asked on short notice it may be an issue this year.

[scoggdog13]

oh i see but if you are able to. I cant wait to see the rigs

[GOATN]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the monster jam stuff. It would be so awesome!

[Forresto]

[thisdougsforu]

Sounds good Forresto, hopefully we will see you soon!

Any news on the Monster Jam thing

[sullyt]

definitely looking forward to meeting. I am about an hour away. I have the RTR scx10 Rubicon. I'm just researching basic mods for now to include moving the battery to the front, water proofing, and probably replacing all the plastic links with metal versions. Any tips / URLs is greatly appreciated. Our local hobby shop doesn't have much for crawlers. I bought the kit, batteries, charger from them. So, any online source thats great for scx10s please let me know. I like to support local retail stores when possible though.

[thisdougsforu]

Best resource for scx10 stuff is the section on this forum! Anything you'd ever need to know. Where are you from?

The Monster Jam thing is a no go this year due to not enough time to plan it out. We are going to be good for next year though.

Reminder that next Sunday is our inaugural TTC at our track in Wentzville, MO! Details here - Show-Me Scalers R/C Offroad Club – St. Louis, MO R/C Rock Crawling, Trailing, & Truck Pulling Club

@ thisdougsforu - I am from Farmington, MO. I posted on your Facebook page earlier

I can't make it this Sunday, but do want to get with you on the next G2G even ifs just a couple of you guys. I would like to see the progress on the outside crawler setup and make the next trail run.

[thisdougsforu]

Today's Supercrawl Sunday event is cancelled due to weather. I don't want people driving in all this snow and the track is buried. Not the fun kind of buried either. There would be no mud pit or pull track, and the owners of the land don't want people up at the shop in hazardous conditions like this. We will reschedule the event soon.

AGAIN, THE EVENT TODAY IN WENTZVILLE IS CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER.


p.s. 11am snow trail run at Bangert Island Park!

Check out the video from our hill climb yesterday. All of our trucks got bruised or broken.
