Double check the thread location. You might just have the wrong Albany

Went to the Samaritan college on HWY 20 heading into Lebanon. They have a new rock wall w/ waterfalls & a big dirt pile out back (Whoopie!)
I finally got a group shot of our axialfest (Ltown style.)

That looks like a fun spot! Any picks of the dirt pile? We should get together one of these days and do some runs. I have Sunday's and Monday's off work.

The dirt hill near the parking lot is pretty fun. We are planning on taking some rakes & making a course around it. I also noticed about 100 yds north of the Good Sam lot in the big empty field is another much larger dirt hill (maybe 100ft long & 20ft high or so.) This Sunday would be good for me.
This pick I took at the top of the little hill (its overgrown with alot of weeds but since its fill it all pulls out easy.


I will give you a call tonight or tomorrow & firm up.

Water is down & crawling is magnificent!

I will be there.
You don't have an extra esc I could wrangle from ya do you?

[CAPCbass]

I have a vxl brushless esc and a HH brxl I could let you borrow. The Brxl might be toast unfortunately. I don't know how to test it to see. Im hoping to get new ones soon.

[Dostradamas]

No worries, I got a FXR on the way & should be here in time.
I am stoked

I didn't think that place was open. I've tried to call them but there number never works so I never bothered to check them out further. Is it cool? I'll have to drive by there this weekend and see what's up.

They are open & have a dirt track & a drifter as well as a early stage crawler course. Its RC Plus's old wall with a VW bug as a mountain. I have not tried it yet.

It's actually happening today not Sunday according to the Facebook event.
