I was just looking for some people to crawl with and what kind of spots they had around here

Welcome to RCC. It's good to see some Steel City guys on here! Where at in PGH are you? There are a few crawlers in the area, but we're south of the city, mostly westmoreland county, but there are a few spots out here.. I have seen a few guys on here from PGH, but haven't talked to them. I have been trying to start a crawling group/club in this area. Check out the thread Any Pennsylvania Crawlers Out There...?. We had a GTG last saturday, and only a few guys made it. It was COLD. I don't know if we'll be able to GTG until the weather breaks. WMJ is in jan. It's an indoor event, racing and crawling. We'll all be there.

Do you know where etna is because that where i live

Rckcrwlr · 12-06-2006, 08:54 AM

Welcome ZR2...
I am in Washington, PA. I know exactly where Etna is. I used to have an office on Friday St. in Millvale. Make sure that you subscribe to the link that Coles listed. That is where all the planning is made. I was one of the "wimps" that did not brave the cold last saturday. 27 degrees is just too cold.

Keep in Touch with everyone.

i will keep in touch with you guys. I might need some help with building my scaler.

Crawln Coles · 12-13-2006, 08:45 AM

HEY ZR2 no problem with the scaler. Check out my build Scale Blazer Build And you might wanna look into WMB in Bradenville Jan 6th-7th. There'll be racing on Sat and crawln on Sun. It was a blast last time. Plus it's always cool to put a face to all theese screen names!

GO STEELERS

99chevyZR2 · 12-16-2006, 01:00 PM

I will look into it and i hope i get my rig put together by then

99chevyZR2 · 12-16-2006, 03:40 PM

i was also curious what hobby shops you guys go to because when i went there to but parts he asked me what i was building and i told him a scale rock crawler and he told me i was going to spend atleast $1500 on one.

Thanks, Andrew

I own/work at Raceway Hobbies in New Stanton, 724-925-3225. I try to keep crawling stuff( wheels, tires, bodies, links, rod ends, ect) on stock. If you can't make it out there give me a call I'm sure I can help you out with your build.

if i ever need anything ill give you a call

Rckcrwlr · 12-16-2006, 07:40 PM

ZR2,
It all depends on how much you want to do yourself. My first crawler, I bought a lot of stuff. I have been more creative now and it becomes less money but more of your time. I, myself, enjoy doing this. There are still things that you have to buy.

Figure how much you have to spend and build the best crawler you can with those funds. You can always add as you go.

99chevyZR2 · 12-25-2006, 07:38 PM

does anyone have any info on the next time you guys will be meeting up again. I am very interested and hope to get my truck done by then.

Best thing is to subscribe to the following link. Weather is the factor now. The next GTG will be WMJ on the 6th & 7th.

Any Pennsylvania Crawlers Out There...?
