New to rc

[223voodoo]

Second newbie post! Live in Cruces and just bought a losi mini after going on a crawling run in Socorro and A guy pulling to RCs out on the run... Nice to be here, I know squat about these and looking to learn!

[some87]

welcome to the crawling world. the guys are at a comp right now but will be back later today. try reading up on Southern New Mexico Rocks to see where we go to and if you are ready to go out there just let somebody on here know. im on the forum all the time. your best bet to learn about crawling is reading everything on the forum.

[223voodoo]

I'm trying. Holy crap I had NO idea how much you could do to these things. I am in over my head.......and I like it.

[some87]

LOL yeah there is tons of stuff you can do to those things.

[223voodoo]

you usually order your stuff, or is there a place here in town that caters to this obsession?

Hey, its John, I was the so called "photographer" my BIL was in the Blue FJ.

Anyway, HELL NO! I crawled for a bit with my mini, and then got frustrated, I want to do SO much, and have no CLUE what I am doing.

Did you get any of those pics, BTW? my BIL was going to host them

I may take you up on that. Or just maybe to grab a beer sometime and talk about these things because I am a moron when it comes to these. Oh, and by the way, Hobby lobby was stocking s'more weights today. I picked up a few packets.

Have you tried Ace hardware on Picacho for the springs?

Hey John, This is Andrew, we have a Southern NM chapter of radio controlled rock crawlers and if you are interested in joining shoot me a PM.
For tire weights try hitting up a tire store, sometimes you can get a handful of strip weights for free, and Ace Hardware on Picacho has a good selection of springs.

Also I try to go crawl as much as possible, usually between classes and work. We usually meet at a place we called Little Moab that is behind A mountain.

Hm... I will definitely take you up on that sometime. Do any of you ever just get together outside of crawling? I would be interested in hooking up and meeting you...before I embarrass myself with my stockie.
