Re: Northwest area
 

No problem. I hope I can find my adapters. All of my packs have Power Pole connectors.

Re: Northwest area
 

I have Traxxas connectors on my ESC.

Re: Northwest area
 

THANKS!!!"thumbsup" i hope my friend will let me borrow a couple lipo's

Re: Northwest area
 

i have stick packs it works i can normaly go about 30 minutes on one, and i also have the traxxas plugs

Re: Northwest area
 

Well, I had to order some MIPs for my SCX10, kept popping my modded Maxx Shafts off the tranny outputs. LOL Well, off to the next weak point in the driveline. :)

Re: Northwest area
 

Are you guys getting ready for Sunday?!?!

Re: Northwest area
 

I AM!!!! i just went through my truck cleaning bearings, checking hardware, and giving it a good look over..."thumbsup" i was hopeing my lipo would be delivered this week but i dont think it will be :cry:

Re: Northwest area
 

That sucks, about the battery. I'm having some issues with mine, the 1st cell in the pack keeps dropping WAY below the other one. I'm changing from a brushless VXL setup to a Rooster Crawler/Brushed if my motor arrives in time. I'm hoping that I can save the pack and the problems go away. So I've had most of my truck apart over the past few days checking everything, too.

Edit: Well, found out that my pack has a bad cell in it. Basically a loaded gun with a hair trigger and the safety off. So my darling wife let me get a new DX3C and a new lipo pack. Awesome she is, love her to pieces! She used Father's Day as a reason, LOL

What kind of terrain is at the park? Will I need to water proof?

Re: Northwest area
 

+1 :badger:

Re: Northwest area
 

I honestly don't remember 100%, it's been 3 years since I've been there. I'd say if we get a decent amount of rain, it might not be a horrible idea, but probably not needed. I'm not gonna force anyone do troop through mud, lol.

Depending on how everyone feels, we might want to try heading across the way to the south. There is a bike path/walkway that might have some stuff to drive on.

Here is a sat map of the area...

Re: Northwest area
 

I think most of it is just dirt trails, maybe fallen trees and stuff.

Re: Northwest area
 

looks good to me!!

Re: Northwest area
 

been off for a few days moving but i dont wanna water proof my venom i just dont have time lol i also dont know about the rest of you guys but i need a stronger servo on my truck lol i dont have the money to buy new :( i have broke this one 2 times ahaha i have a few parts servo's

Re: Northwest area
 

What servo are you running?

Re: Northwest area
 

a traxxas i dont remember numbers off hand but its only 80oz servo lol it works but doesnt turn well unless moving :(

Re: Northwest area
 

Yeah, that's probably not really liking the big 2.2 tires. I'd suggest something with approx. 200+ oz/in.

There's this, it's pretty budget-friendly:

Solar Servo D772 High Voltage 0.17sec@7.4v 64g Digital Metal Gear

Re: Northwest area
 

i am looking/wanting to buy used right now i dont have cash for the new prices! but if anyone has one they would sell i can bring some extra with me hehe

Re: Northwest area
 

just noticed you link i didnt know they were so cheap. the last oone's i looked up were about 100 bucks which i cant afford!

Re: Northwest area
 

Yeah, probably not the greatest servo ever, but for the price I don't think it would be a bad one to try.

Re: Northwest area
 

so just to be clear there is only one ihop in lima right? lol i planned on showing up around 1145ish i will be charging my batts while i drive there, (12v charger with clips) so i should be good to go,

Re: Northwest area
 

That is correct, it is across the street from Meijer.

Re: Northwest area
 

ok i know where it is i just wanted to make sure becuse i dont go to far into lima unless i have to lol i get lost easy, so i will see ya'll tomarrow morn at 1145/12 :D

Re: Northwest area
 

LOL, see you there.

Re: Northwest area
 

sorry i didnt show up today... i tried to get some money for gas so i could meet up but i didnt get any:oops::twisted::cry:

Re: Northwest area
 

No biggie, maybe next time. "thumbsup" I had a good time, gotta work on finding some more spots. Headshok88 and I made our way up to Van Buren State Park and tooled around for a bit. Definately will have to get back up there at some point.

Re: Northwest area
 

yeah he sent me a text letting me know that you guys were heading to van buren...it just sucks that i couldn't make it i was looking forward to it all week!!! but anyways if we could get another meet setup im going make sure that i have the gas money to show up!

Re: Northwest area
 

i had a blast untill the wife started not feeling that well :( she's better now but still would love to do that again! and the next time i will make sure i have the batts charged!!!! haha that was my bad there :( but thanks again guys!

Re: Northwest area
 

is there anybody around the defiance area thats up for some crawlin and scalin

Re: Northwest area
 

turbomini, no biggie on the batts, you came prepared with a 12v capable charger. Would you be up for driving up to Van Buren? It's pretty much 30 east to 75 north.

jeepcrawler, I'm not close to you, would you be willing to drive? You're about an hour from Van Buren, I think we're gonna try to get something together soon.

Overall, not sure when we're gonna get it setup. Headshok88 is going to try getting ahold of some others and see what we can come up with.

In other news, COC Battlegrounds is next weekend, so I'm gonna try making it down there.

Re: Northwest area
 

not sure where that is but if its on a sunday sure! i will need a week or so notice so i can plan around other things! and i need differnt servo lol man i know after seeing your guy's truck turn with no issue how bad mine is :(

Re: Northwest area
 

Here's one that is super budget friendly. You've got some time to get it ordered, sooner the better.

60G EXI Digital Coreless Servo-D226F w/ Metal Gear

Re: Northwest area
 

i am going try to talk the other half into letting me get this one haha"thumbsup"

Re: Northwest area
 

I think there will be some good spots around Van Buren state park. We only checked out a small portion of the park. I am going to go back over there this week and scope out some more areas. I might even clear out some more trails. Lets start throwing out some dates and see what sticks. I am good for most sundays.

How does July 8 look for everyone?

Re: Northwest area
 

These maps show the general location of Van Buren Park.

Re: Northwest area
 

i think the 8th will be good for me

Re: Northwest area
 

if i can get a servo by then i will bee good for that ill try to come alone though lol not that it wasnt fun just pulling out early isnt fun for anyone LOL

Re: Northwest area
 

I'm gonna try to round up a couple extra batteries and some adapters. LOL

Re: Northwest area
 

haha i know i need to plan further ahead and mark my batts so can tell which one's charged!!!

Re: Northwest area
 

I will have to make up a Traxxas adapter too."thumbsup"

Anyone else going to make it on the 8th?
