Default 1ST New Zealand AX10 outing... DIALUP USERS BEWARE

After meeting up with a couple of guys we hit the rocks for a little fun, all AX10's are different in setup's and all had different places each struggled with. Was a great 2 days of fun.

Only breakage was on my Range rover I did snap my driveshaft but that was was because of my noob inexperience :-D the bound up VW was 4ws and drooped which made a huge difference in where it went.

As for the bright colours......well its normally overcast and bleek looking lol

Smudgebug - Cheers for posting the pics. Was a great weekend with some good lessons learned! I am always impressed by what these little suckers will get over! The mods I made to mine (the horribly bright one) certainly made a difference, however I recon most of the advantage was in the losi claws.
Will be interesting to see what happens at Piopio this weekend.

Nice pics , but threads like this should go in the "Get Togethers" section. The AX-10 section is for tech so I moved it. Thanks.

Default Another Kiwi joining in.

Been searching for a new hobbie ... found it.
Weapon of choice will be a AX10, which I'll be getting the next month or so, then I'll be ready to Rock n Roll.
PS: I'm in the BOP, anyone else down here?

Im from Hamilton, I know of one other over in Tauranga, a heap from Auckland and then there is those Hill Billies from New Plymouth
Contact Matt at RCBANDIT or Brett at RCMODELSHOP both great guys and they are the ones that have organised the crawls so far. But that dosent mean that a group of us couldnt get together for a friendly crawling day

Default I'm back ...

My computer has been down with a virus for the last 3-4 months, back up and running ... minus the 54 viruses !

Well I've finally got a crawler, an AX10 with a "few mods" and Landcruiser body.

Found some good crawling spots within 10 minutes from home, plus the backyard testing grounds.

Ok guys since meeting with Nick (VIPXJ) on Sunday at Mount Maunganui we have found a spot to hold a compitition, now the 2 main players in setting this up is normally Brett and Matt (his lordship ) from RCBANDIT but due to them being so far away they are leaving it up to me and nick ! Now we can either have a compition or just a crawl fun day ? If we have the fun day there will be no rules what so ever (except 1 and thats we leave the place the way we found it ).

I need to know some definate numbers for attending, so come on guys put your names in so we can make it a good turn out.

Cheers Brian
