do any of these places hold comps or anything?

no they don't , I wish. all the guys at trains and lanes are into on-road racing they don't even use there off-road track anymore it's a shame.

I know, I have a Losi comp crawler my 7yr old has the Losi night crawler and my 4yr old has the Losi MRC we love them. My friend has the Axial RTC and a Red cat racing crawler so when we can, we get to together and have some fun.

yea, no one i know does any rc crawling so i was hoping to get with some people that can point me ion the right direction. i was thinkin about getting a Losi MRC just becasue i can pickup a rtr for around 2 hundred and new parts seems a bit cheaper to buy. you have any input or advice. i dunno where u guys crawl at but i can think of a ton of spots to crawl if any one is interested.

We live in slatington,pa . As for advise it depends on what you want to do? I can only say good things about any of the losi crawlers. The comp crawler will set you back lots of $. The night crawler is superb as an entry to intermediate crawler. The mrc is fun because you can do it in the house, perfect time to get one(winter). Just make sure you get front, rear, center metal diff lockers it's a must. lower the batt and some new tires, I can say the pro-lineracing chisels w/memory foam and titus wheels 4oz in front and 0-2oz in rear are a huge gain in performance.

Trains & lanes (Easton) & HobbyTown (Whitehall) have some things for crawlers and a few new ones. Don't really know which one is better, they all don't know much about crawlers, or don't care to....

If you are looking to join a club we (www.gsrcrc.com) run a full comp season with prizes, etc, our last comp for the 2009 season was just held at Green Lane Park. We are full of members in the tri-state, PA, NJ, NY and even a few further away. There are a number of members in the Allentown area as well as some not far from the Quakertown area.

Check out the website if you have the chance
