It's hard work finding people here in UK to go rock crawling. It has not taken off in the same way as it has in the States. I was fortunate in that I managed to get in touch with a couple of lads that raced nitro's and petrol trucks and have had a few trips with them. Most of the time though I'm on my own. One other problem I've had is finding suitable crawl spots. You should have some good spots down there on the yorkshire coast though. I live up the road a bit from you (Newcastle) and it would take a couple of hours to get down there if you ever wanted to meet. What kind of truck(s) you running with?? |

Hi There, I from Hull, so not that far. it would be good to get some kind of get together, find some suitable place to go rock crawling. I got a TxT-1 myself. needs tome repairs at the min, as i keep having trouple with driveshafts. and got a few other mods planned, (when i got the time) here is a few pics of it and here is my full size toy! |

It would be cool, but both of us (me and moondust) are kids, and we live miles away from each other. Unless we get a lot of us all in the one place, fairly near to me and moondust, then I don't think it's gonna happen. Anyway, here is my rig: Cheers 8-) |

nice rig 4link4eva!!. i usually take my Rc along when i am doing some off roading in my Jeep. usualy get to play on some good terrain then. Distances may make it hard to organise . maybe you should try modelsport uk forum. |
