I thought I saw an advertisement for an indoor crawler course somewhere in my local area but now I can't find anything on it. Anyone in my area know what I'm talking about? Last edited by TheB1GDude; 03-01-2011 at 12:50 PM. |

Awesome! Thanks for the info, I'm pretty sure it was the NEPA Slot Car off road course I came across so I'll have to go check it out. Have you been there? Any ideas if it's any good? |

from what i can rember the course was fiberglass molded over rocks with spray on bed liner for traction and he had some rocks at the bottom of the course. there was another place in ephreta (or how ever u spell the town) that had a indoor course also but he closed up for some reason  |

i was just in that area before christmas staying at the residence inn by that chinese buffet just below the mall and i found a shop that had just opened up the week before i got there. they had a small rock course inside with a carpet try me track for the little losi's. heli's, plane's a real variety and very nice willing to order whatever i wanted and was working on stocking more inventory. time flys hobbies 616 scranton-carbondale highway heading east go past the mall and it was on the right hand side in a little complex

Wow that's insane! Lake Arial is like 45 minutes away so I could definitely get down when the weather picks up... I need to find somewhere simpler prior to that to get some practice in... |

I gets bigger and better each time I go up there. Now he has added a scale trail section and a hill climb. Last edited by Jslick; 03-04-2011 at 01:24 PM. |

wouldn't want to be there by myself or turn up unannounced anyway. Would rather go on a day with other amateurs and learn from the pro's on how to setup my truck and then how to crawl with it on different surfaces, maybe a day like that can be scheduled?
