Howdy from San Diego...

Been into RC for years...recently rediscovered electric...all those years of messy nitro, scoffing at the notion of batteries and small motors made me miss out on a great part of the hobby. Saw a crawler at the LHS, did alot of reading on the webz...went back and bought an Axial RTC and a few hop-ups for it.

Crawling pretty addictive! I have been so wrapped up in the notion that speed=fun that I forgot how fun it is to actually drive the car.

Anyways, if anyone has good spots is SD, hit me up...

I live here in Hot Springs, about five miles from Superlift ORV. I also am the manager and lead fabricator at the local off road shop in town. My wife and I are presently building our first house, which has forced me to temporarily retire from wheeling. So I have taken up this new hobby to settle my nerves for the next year or two. <o:p></o:p>

Here is my quickly evolving RTC. hop ups include
high torque servo
pantehers
bent links
limited shocks, relocatded electronics, weighted tires


Here are my real rigs

my 95 ZJ
swaped in 5.9 with headers and FIPK/ atlas II 4.3/ tom woods DS's/ 8.8rear/ 5.5 RE/ 35's/ arb bumper/ warn m8K... and more


My 98 5.9 lmtd
nerrowed 60's with 35spln. mosures, detroits/ 4 linked with T-7075 links psc hydro, be-cool setup, 42's and tons more

oh and my wife

Default Noob here!!!

Hi! Name is Lem, from Lakewood Ca!!! I've been into heavy onroad elec rc and was addicted!!!! Since we moved here in '06 + the new baby, RC has taken a back seat!!! I've been plagued with nightmares of not holding my controller and the wife said I make gestures in my sleep like I was holding a controller and driving an RC car.

Nuff said, I'm going Crawling to cure myself of the RC itch! Will be selling most of my onroad stuff first.

I have decide to go with a Copperhead!!! Any advice on the chassis/kit? What hop ups to buy?

Will go with a Novak Goat!

Any good recomendations for a servo?

Will be bugging all of you with questions soon!

Be safe ------ Lem

Well my name iss Keith, Im 17. I got into rc when i was 12? I think? I started with a T-Maxx I got used for christmas, the same time the next year I was starting out racing 1/10th truck at our local indoor track, where I was eventually hired at 15 and we just recently closed at the end of may I got into crawling in august last year and I have been addicted to it ever since! I bought a "used" axial that never got ran, well now the only thing left from my original purchase is the aluminum c's, its now for sale so I can get into MOA, sorry for the long rant, Keith

my name is Nathan Jackson , live in Talladega, AL . Been into rc's for about 5 years. Raced nitro mts for a while and it became too expensive to keep up with the big boys. Found out about ax10s about a year ago and now I have 3. Looking for a place other than the yard to play or compete.
