Hi.

My name is Geoffrey. Live In Hunmanby near Filey. I have a pimp cane and my son has a TXT 1. We have started to go to Filey Brigg. Lots of rocks, large and small and also long flat runs of rock with small vertical walls of rock. Seems to be a good place. If any of you chaps get to the Scarborough area anytime it would me a good place to meet.

Im planning a week up whitby in our caravan early next year, If your still around we will meet up! We had a week in scarborough at the start of the 6 weeks hols,had a play with mt TLT on the rocks at north beach(too many big/deep gaps to lose a truck in!) Regards JOHN.

Tronk · 11-05-2006, 03:10 PM

That would be good. We also looked at north beach.That young man with his landrover would not get it out from those holes between those rocks. We spent 4 hours the other weekend going up toWhitby and across the moors to Pickering and also around Dalby Forest. We found no-where to crawl. Went to Filey in the end, 3 miles from us and is very good

wallaz · 11-06-2006, 12:33 PM

Hello Tronk, I'm assuming that you are Moondust1950's father!!!

I've been having a bit chat with him about popping down your neck of the woods for a bit of a GTG.

I know he's also been in touch with a lad called Jeepey, but have not heard if he can make it.

Do you know what time the tides are for this weekend and next, or is the location at Filey not tidally effected??

I thought I would not be free this weekend but may well be able to pop down if we can get sorted soon enough.

Don't worry about the Landy, I've also got two clod sized trucks so can bring one of them with me.

Looking forward to meeting up with some fellow crawlers.

Anyone else able to make post up and we'll try and get something organised.

drzjohn · 11-06-2006, 03:08 PM

Some of the guys on the TAMIYA site are organising a meet at Buxton on 19th november we are welcome to go along, it is on a green lane with parking at the start, we will need to walk @ 3-400 yards to the running area, THIS IS FOR FUN ONLY NOT A COMPETITION, The terrain is not hard and probably too easy for a clod based crawler, but it will be nice to meet up with others. I will post details when I know more, Regards JOHN.

staffbull · 11-10-2006, 03:49 AM

hi, im andy from warrington and thinking about getting a rock crawler. what is the best rtr crawler cos im not very good at building things. i hear that the txt-1 a good one but then people say so is the e-maxx. do any of you guys have one for sell?

4link4eva · 11-11-2006, 09:44 AM

An emaxx isn't a crawler out of the box, it comes with independant supension. The TXT is great out of the box, and easy to mod, too.

Moondust1950 · 11-11-2006, 10:27 AM

hi i have a TXT 1

Try

Cleveland Elite Models in Middlesborough. 01642 241511. They got me a Tamiya TXT 1 for 280 pounds. Everyone wanted around 400.00 pounds. They give a real good service. Then follow the top ten...

O and just to let you kno me and wallaz had a gtg 2day at filey brigg.

We had some really good rocks there to crawl....Untill wallaz's truck broke.
