Nebraska Crawlers
 

Okay Huskers, lets get some people posting up and get a club started. I am willing to do the leg work for an Eastern Nebraska/Western Iowa club. What I need from you guys is for you to post up and to get ready to crawl.

I would really like to see something put together by mid February so we can start hitting the rocks come March 1, 2008.

The guys I know of here in the Omaha area are...

RD400/Eritex Inc--------Both are screen names for me. One is my personal, the other is for my company.

thaclodking-------------Better post up Jay, I will start telling stories about you:shock:

sniders1975------------Come on Tom, post up.



Please add your screen name to the list if you are interested in getting a club started for this spring. Also, if you have found a good spot for crawling, share with the rest of the class.

I would love to see a guy or two from our new club get an invite to nationals this year.



Gerame

YES! I am so IN! I live in Colon, about five miles from Wahoo. I've been wanting to hook up with some Nebraska guys for a while now.

I don't know how much stuff I'll be able to get to, since I have a wife and two kids and I'm low on $$$ 95% of the time. But I'll try!

I know a cool trail-run spot in wahoo, it's about a mile in and back, altogether, it's a hiking trail/drainage ditch/wooded area, with piles of busted concrete and stuff thrown in for good measure. Lots of hill climbs, etc. But you gotta wait for some dry weather to run there. Otherwise it's a mud hole. It's off the side of Cook's park.

I'm actually not sure if it's public property or not, but I've been going back there since I was a kid and nobody's ever said squat.

No real rocks though. :-( Sucks living here in flatland country.

Everybody post up pics of your rigs! I wanna see what I'm up against. :lol:

Here's Mine:

Gerame what happened to the guys you had comeing down to the LHS. Did it just die out or what, you are they only one left posting?

Great, I look forward to meeting up with you. One of these days when you are in Omaha you need to stop by my shop. Going to use it as a kind of HQ for the club.

I blew my knee apart last May and I guess without me setting stuff up they all kind of faded away. I am in business for my self now and part of it has to do with crawling so I can dedicate a lot of time to getting a proper club up and going.

I saw it in the hideaway. Didn't you blow the knee on the knee wall at the new house? Congrats on the new ownership. This summer has had a lot of changes with me too. Bought a house had a kid and am getting married in the fall. This is why I was mia for about 6 months

Congrat's Cole, being a dad kicks *ss.

Actually, the wall was almost 6 feet tall. The motorcycle accident in '96 and football in '90 did most of the damage, the wall just finished it off:lol:

Are you a gimp like my fingure? I mean do you have a perma limp now. My fingure still doesn't work, damn hub caps. Being a dad is interesting, I don't sweat the small things anymore.

Good luck with the club.

No limp, my doc did a great job. I just have to watch it for another 6 months, then he said I will be in the clear.

Sorry, but this just cracked me up!

Its bad enough we live in Nebraska, now you have to laugh at our towns name.....I tell ya, no respect :lol:

Yeah, I literally live in the a$$hole of nowhere. Seriously, I think they just named it that as a Joke. Total population is 136. There are three roads into and out of town (and one of them is about to be closed because no one uses it.) There's a post office, a bank, and a bar and grill, and that's about it. Oh, and the grain tower. If you were driving down the highway and blinked right you'd miss it.

BUT, where else could I buy a 4 bedroom, two bath, two story house with a four-car garage, another one car garage, and another outbuilding on a quarter acre for $54,000?

And hey, you shouldn't make fun of Wahoo. It's the home office of the David letterman show, y'know! Well, okay, the home office is the phone booth downtown, but...

Sounds cool! Where's your shop at? I know Omaha pretty well, I used to work out at the Fontenelle Hills golf course summers when I was in high school and I worked for three years at the Firestone on 132nd and Center.

Its nice to see the forums broken down, now we can really see there is nobody in Nebraska :mrgreen:

I am from Omaha but live in KC now, the wife and I are back constantly though and maybe back permanently someday soon.

I will try to make all the comps in the area if there are enough people to compete. Otherwise you guys are going to have to make the trek to KC, our comp scene is pretty decent.

yea i will post up! im in again but as gerame knows i need a crawler sooooo when he gets his equipment we will make it happen but this time im going for blood!! so i say lets hit as many comps as we can this year & make these guys see that nebraska has some good crawlers & dont worry about kids & wifes we all have them just need to find the time & jay you are making a comp rig this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flipoff:

The dead has spoken!

yea i know! dead but not gone!

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is all....

The only place that I can think of that may have good rocks is the zorinsky damn. Thats about it. But if I find some other place I will be sure to let you all know. I know that the Irvington HobbyTown has some rocks at their store but I don't know how good they are.

rd400/eritex & myself are the ones that brought the rock in at HT dont worry for all you new guys this year we have alot of things planned inside & out!!"thumbsup"

Guys. I live just outside of Omaha, I would be in and could do a little RC Car mag coverage after things get going.

PM me and keep me posted on updates. My time is very limited Sun. Are about my only free day.

I usually have a couple working crawlers at one point or another.

Zeek and Stampedeproject, good to have you guys aboard! The more the merrier!

hopefuly with the relese of the scorpian there will be alot more guys & or gals this year because last year there were only about 5-8 rd & myself being the main ones, so yes the more this year the merrier & if any new guys have any ? at all feel free to pm eritex or myself anytime & javlin i did get your message sorry i did not reply i was leaving work & had to get home we will get together at hobby town or rd's shop & meet, gerame is also thinking about bringing in some rock for a small qourse at his shop! we are going to hit comps in iowa & all over this year so it wii be a fun year!!! indefinatly"thumbsup"

Thanks Javelin! I hope to be able to crawler with you guys and possibly learn some new things.

Stampede Project Rock King build.
 

Maybe this will spawn some ideas for a simple conversion.

You already joined, that was your initiation last weekend. "thumbsup"

Call it a trial by fire... that place was insane...

And the BUGS! Holy crap! :shock:

I'm pretty new to crawling, but would like to get together when possible to learn from you guys.

The club sounds good to me, I'd be able to show as long as I'm not working.

heck that was easy... :)

Don't need to, if it doesn't float- it will definitely dive....

hello biker 713. I live very close to Fremont. Am looking for a new place to crawl. I am new to the hobby, but it's enjoyable. Have any spots to crawl? Would like to try them

Hey Ax10
I haven't had much of a chance to go out looking, I've been working on my rig & testing it by crawling over logs in the backyard, not like crawling on rocks, but it's close for the amount of time I have to spare. I've been trying to keep an eye open driving around town, There is a small lake on the east side of town by the middle school on Military off of the new bypass it has a lot of rocks around the edges, but I haven't checked it out in person yet.

If I come across any I'll let you know, do the same if you find one, I'm also pretty new to this, but am enjoying the H_LL out of it!

I don't have a crawler yet but I am definately interested. I also have two kids and a wife in grad school so it might take a little while to build mine. I have a radio for my helis so I have a good start and will probaly be ordering the Scoripion kit this week.

Welcome, there's a good bunch a guys to hang out with around here (when we get our schedules matched up :lol:)

You don't intend to use an air frequency radio for your crawler do you?
