Re: Northwest area
 

Todd, I'm down for that. I might see if my daughter wants to tag along, currently rounding up parts for her rig.

Re: Northwest area
 

i dont have a crawling rig anymore but i would still like to meet up!

Re: Northwest area
 

That's cool with me.

Re: Northwest area
 

i am up for that i got to order the servo i talked to the wifie and we agree'd it needs more. now i got to talk her into letting me buy the gasket kit for my lebaron so i can finsh the rebuild/buildup, LOL

Re: Northwest area
 

I thought you had a Crawler King. What happened to it?

Re: Northwest area
 

I think he may have sold it, had it for sale on here Monday night.

Re: Northwest area
 

i actually traded it for a short course truck :roll:....but im saving money to buy either an xr10 or scx10 "thumbsup".....the only reason why i got rid of it is that i was tired of replacing broken axles

Re: Northwest area
 

I'd stay away from an XR10, I feel it would take way too much $$$ to get it where I wanted it to be. Just my opinion though. "thumbsup"

Re: Northwest area
 

i like my venom creeper i have the axle's are known to brake but they are good if you dont bind while rolling at speed, if you drive smart your safe,


i ordered the servo so i should be good for the next time we get togather, the deal was we get that and she comes with me on the next run, but i will be bringing water with, :p

Re: Northwest area
 

Yeah, I'm planning on packing a cooler too, especially in my 8 year old comes with. Awesome on getting that servo ordered. I need to get some batteries ordered, but don't think I will be able to in time.

Re: Northwest area
 

I broke a few axles in mine too, I made some heavy duty straight shafts for the rear, I've never broken a front.

I would go with a SCX10 if you plan on doing mostly trail running. Great truck even stock.

Come on over on the 8th anyway, I always have some extra trucks with me."thumbsup"

Re: Northwest area
 

Thank you!!! "thumbsup""thumbsup"

Re: Northwest area
 

i have a back pack cooler i am bringing! will have some spair room in there for a few drinks


only a cars worth haha:lmao:

Re: Northwest area
 

hey what time are we thinking lol i forgot to ask and i didnt see the time posted?

Re: Northwest area
 

I'm thinking a little earlier to beat the heat. 9 - 10 sound good?

Re: Northwest area
 

A car load yes.....but still extras.:lmao:"thumbsup"

Re: Northwest area
 

The time sounds good to me. If my daughter and I come, along hopefully with the neighbor guy, I'll try to drive my mini-van. If that's the case, I'll be bringing my big cooler packed with ice and water and things. There are BBQ grills there at the parking area, we could all bring a dish or something.

Re: Northwest area
 

i could bring some hot dogs or burgers!!

Re: Northwest area
 

well i will talk to the other half if the time is good i work seconds so really early isnt the best choice but i will try for 930?

Re: Northwest area
 

It looks like it'll be my neighbor guy and I heading up. I'm thinking 10 would be a good time to meet. We can trail around and take a break for lunch, then hit some more trails if everyone is feeling up to it. I know I'll be bringing my SCX10, the neighbor is probably gonna be bringing his Wraith and Ridgecrest.

Oh yeah, I'll make sure I'm on time this time. "thumbsup"

Re: Northwest area
 

LOL oh we had food so it wasnt so bad hahaha but the servo is in toledo so it should be here tomarrow before work!

Re: Northwest area
 

the servo showed up BUT the thing makes a odd noise, it sounds like its chattering? kinda odd,

Re: Northwest area
 

turbo, any change in the servo noises?

headshok88, how's the park looking up there?

I think we should start a quick list of things for lunch???

There is a good chance, I'll be bringing my minivan. I will have my cooler, so I'll be bringing ICE, bottled water, and I can grab a bag of charcoal from the store. Everyone else feel free to post up what you can bring and we'll fill in if anything is needed. "thumbsup"

Re: Northwest area
 

i ran it for about 20 minutes the other day out behind my new place there is a old concrete chunks that i am playing on and it still does it, but here is the odd thing it will stop for a few seconds then start back up, lol i dont get it,

Re: Northwest area
 

also i am gonna bring my own food. i dint wanna sounds odd but unless ya can grill up a grilled cheese! eheheheh

Re: Northwest area

We are planning on grilling out on the BBQ grills near the parking area.
Here is a list of what I am bringing:
Cooler with bottled water
Charcoal and supplies
Paper plates, napkins, and forks


Anyone and everyone that would like to meet up:

Official meeting time is 10AM @ Van Buren State Park.

Township Rd 229 to OH-613 W - Google Maps

Re: Northwest area
 

My wife will be staying home with the kids, but your wife is more than welcome to come out.

Oh, I grabbed some OFF! at the store too.

Re: Northwest area
 

hey guys i hate to do this but i cant make it tomarrow. i got forced to stay late today(sat) and i just got off work and i have to go back in tomarrow. :(

You missed out. It was a pretty good time today. Hope you can make the next one.

Re: Northwest area
 

thanks again for letting me run one of your trucks today...i just hope i can get one soon so i can break my own next time.

Re: Northwest area
 

i figured i missed out :( any pictures or vids? and i wish i could of came,

Re: Northwest area
 

I didn't get any pics, I did get a video of jaxandjokers Ridgecrest in a culvert pipe. I really need to remember to get pictures...and to think I almost grabbed the wife's point & shoot this morning.

It was tons of fun and I'm sure it'll only get better. The family and I strolled around the hometown area looking for anything, didn't find anything :(

Re: Northwest area
 

the ridgecrest in the pipe was awsome!

Re: Northwest area
 

There was a better run, but didn't have the camera out, kinda a spur of the moment thing.

Re: Northwest area
 

post the vid!!! or send to me hehe

Re: Northwest area
 

Re: Northwest area
 

LOL thats great!!

Re: Northwest area
 

So jaxandjokers is my neighbor, he got word of this place about 20 minutes from our houses. Well I had a chance to check it out today, so the oldest daughter and I went with rig in hand. I did remember to bust out the camera. LOL While this place is kinda small in size, I'd estimate a tad smaller than Teddy Bear Park. However, what it lacks in total size, I feel it more than makes up for it in terrain.

On to the pics...

My rig happened to survive a wicked tumble down this hill to the muddy creekbed at the bottom. No damage and I was able to drive it back out.
