RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

ALLLLL ABOARD! The G-Train is gearing up for a super adventure. To be exact, a Superlift adventure that is sure to have every scale enthusiast ready for biscuits, gravy, and a RECON G6 Challenge.

Superlift Suspension Systems has boarded the G-Train and is bringing the G-Crew to Hot Springs, Arkansas to host the first annual Superlift Southern Showdown G6 Challenge & Outlaw Terra-X race at America’s premiere off-road vehicle park, SuperliftORVPark.

What is a RECON G6 Challenge? It is a one of kind, r/c scale adventure that tests a driver’s ability and their scaler or G-Ride’s capability. Add in specific driving challenges, driver challenges, and a night stage and what you get is pure family fun. Drivers or “G6’ers” navigate a stage that is marked with yellow & red trail markers; always keeping the red trail marker on your right hand side, keeps G6’ers heading in the correct direction of the stage. There are several classes available so a driver can sign up for a class that fits their driving style. Along the way, adventure comes in many shapes and sizes and varied terrain.

The Superlift Outlaw Terra-X Race is not your typical r/c race. Named after the infamous F45 five diamond trail at the SuperliftORVPark, a variety of track obstacles and constant changing track conditions, results in a highly spectatable event that is off the charts fun to drive. Roland Rockshop, Arkansas’s r/c rock crawling specialty shop, will be the race director and timing for the Outlaw Terra-X race. In the South’s first ever Terra-X race, do as Roland Rockshop says, “…wear your scars like medals…”

Everyone at Superlift, and every G6’er wants to see you, September 29 & 30, 2012, getting your scaler fix, at the Superlift Southern Showdown G6!

Classes

- Adventurist – 1.9 tire class where adventure and a walking pace will get you thru a stage. Time is running, but you don’t need to be, because if you finish too early, the break out time penalty may set you back in time. Driver & Driving Challenges await every Adventurist which makes this the most popular class in the G6.

- Ultra Driver – 1.9 tire class for drivers who have the need for speed. This is not for the quick winded G6’er. The Ultra Driver earns the title every G6. There is no time limit, but what an Ultra Driver faces in not for everyone.

- Wraith / 2.2 Class – A class for Wraiths or drivers running 2.2 tires on their scaler. This class is the same as the Adventurist. Walking at your own pace is highly recommended.

- G6 Team Class – This class is for two drivers who share one scaler. Each driver is responsible for driving half of each stage. This is an ideal class for husbands & wives or sharing the G6 experience with a friend or a great way to introduce your son or daughter to the G6 lifestyle.

Stage Preview

- Stage 1 will consist of 300+/- trail markers. The terrain will vary and any clear dirt (water) will be kept scale.

- Stage 2 will take a G6’er through the still of the Arkansas night. Some areas may be squatchy.

The Superlift Southern Showdown G6 Challenge will have a pot luck dinner. I encourage everyone to bring a pot luck dish and take part in a G6 ritual of eating and swapping stage stories and then sending G6’ers off on a night stage.

Tradition has to start somewhere. Come join us for the South’s first RECON G6 Challenge and experience scale adventure at its finest, but don’t take my word for it, G6’ers say it best…

“Off the chains, Parker, OFF THE FRIKEN CHAINS, Parker. Most fun I have had…” – halfcab.

“…it truly is something you don’t want to miss out on, talk about drive time and excitement it doesn't get any better than this. What the G6 crew does for crawling is insane and i can’t ever remember having that much fun ever at any event.” – rcjunky.

“After 30 years of RC, never have I had so much fun…” – Thom K

“…epic weekend of crazy crawling madness, you guys have turned me into a G6 nut…” – Ty@Tekin


The G-Train is headed South, stay tuned to see who is on board or to inquire about at a boarding pass to get on the G-Train contact drivnmf@gmail.com


The Superlift Outlaw Terra-X Race

You can’t go down south and not race. That’s like going to the lake on a hot day and not getting wet. Terra-X is not your typical race. It’s like supermoto meets endurocross which equals pure fun.

If you like to go fast and want bragging rights, then gear up for the Outlaw Terra-X Race. Roland Rockshop will be helping the G-Crew give every Terra-X racer the most race time by providing corner marshals. Racer can race and the crowds can cheer, because there will be 4 classes of Terra-X action.

Classes:
- EXO Terra Buggy Class – 2s battery only.
- Wraith Class – no battery restrictions
- SCX10 Class – no battery restrictions; 1.9 tires (2.2 tires need 5 to make a class or will race in the Wraith Class)
- Short Course Truck – Open Class; 2wd/4wd; 2s battery only.

Heats will be 5 minutes long.
Mains will be 10 minutes long.
Number of heats and mains will be set race on day.

Come get your scaler fix, in the Superlift Southern Showdown G6!

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

OH MY!!! The "South" will never be the same!!!

I can't wait to see this neck of the woods!"thumbsup"

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

heck yea!!!

i cant wait to get my g6 fix!!"thumbsup"

the south wont be the same after this event!!:twisted:

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

You don't even know the half of it my man, most fun you will have all year driving your little trucks"thumbsup"

Ps, MAKE SURE you waterproof your rigs;-) if there is water available Parker will have you in it more than once if he can:lmao:

Wish I could travel for this one :cry:

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

Waterproofing is not "Mandatory" but Highly RECOMENDED!!!

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

CHOOOO CHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to have to sell my body to afford this one!!!!!!
Any takers?, anyone......

There is nothing like walking at night through the Squachy Woods of the South!. "thumbsup"

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

Oh yeah! I can't tell you how amped I am for this G6. I've been telling B-Rad that I need some woods to set a G6 Stage and that's what we have at the Superlift ORV Park. It's gonna be awwwnn in September! "thumbsup"

What? Yes, fun is what we do best and we wish you could travel to this one too, but waterproof your rig, C'mon MAN. A litter clear dirt never hurt a G-Ride, but if I find some good ole Arkasas mud, better do what Hi-C says and "Stomp and Steer"!

Yes sir and knowing how to rock bounce might come in handy, too! :shock:

You always have a home in my arms, big boy! ;-)

Enjoy this LowBudgetProductions movie of the Birthday Bash G6. It may give you some insight on what to expect or not.

There will be some never before seen challenges at the Superlift Southern Showdown G6 Challenge. :twisted: :lmao:

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

their are lil creek beds all along the main road (is 1mile long) and leading up to some trails..depending upon if weve gotten any rain or not will depend how full they are.

most of the time they have @2-4in of water in them..when its full @1ft deep or more in some spots.

im going up to the orvpark this sunday to look it over and check a few trails..if you want any pics of certain spots lmk and ill get some video/pics.

you want a huge variety of terrain..you've picked the right location!"thumbsup"

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

This is going to be an AWESOME location!!! The pics look Bad Azz!!!

Those woods are just BEGGIN to be G6'ed!!!

I hope you guys are ready for the TERRA-X race! The 1.9(Honcho) class is such a blast to watch!"thumbsup"

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

this sounds like it's going to be absolutely awesome...can't wait to try my luck at it !! getting the rig prepped... if there is such a thing.. "thumbsup"

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

If you haven't experienced a "Parker" course than you better prep your rig AND yourself!!! You will have more fun than you can imagine!

Nobody does it like Parker when it comes to a GOOD TIME!"thumbsup"

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

What about a bodiless chassis on wraith axles? What class would it be in or would it even be allowed?

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

i think it would go in the wraith class...for the terrax

for the G6 youd have to have the scale items on it..

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

A easy rule of thumb is to ask yourself; Is it scale? A bodiless chassis with the mandatory scale items, to me, may look pretty damn scale. I've seen a bunch of 1:1 buggy's that would fit that description!

Scale it out & post pics! I say rock dat sh!t!!!!

Your absolutely correct! "thumbsup"

Watching this rig in the Terra X race will be SICK!

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

Having to move to Kansas where I grew up and having to give up my G6 fix was an extremely sad day. Now Parker is heading out here (well a couple states away anyhow), get ready to party G6 style Arkansas. Parker I will do whatever it takes to be there my friend. I think I owe you a couple cold ones anyway.

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

What's the expected turn out for this, want to make sure there's enuf squirrel:flipoff:!

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

No worries, G-Central may be buried in squirrel by the end of this G6! "thumbsup"

Superlift Southern Showdown G6 & Outlaw Terra-X Race - Eventbrite


The G-Crew is geared up for this one and will be bringing some exclusive G-Gear for all early bird entries and every G6 entry will receive an event specific G-Tag for their attendance at the Superlift Southern Showdown G6 Challenge.


And remember, WE'RE G6'n and YOU KNOW IT!

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

If it is a t1e style I don't think it will look scale no matter what you do to it.....but I'm not in charge;-):lmao:

Can't wait to see you prove me wrong "thumbsup" bring on them pics8)

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

I don't know, a roof rack, a light bar, a sleeping bag or three, and a driver!

Might be one of the sickest rock bouncers in a G6.

X2 on the pics. "thumbsup"

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

No its not a T1E chassis, its a UGC fastback 2 chassis. I was beaten to the punch on it though. NITROOXIDE (http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...hback-2-a.html) did it before me so I guess im kinda copying him now. Mine right now is sitting on the workbench waiting to finish up links and the motor and esc to come in. Mine will be quite a bit different in power than a 35T Tekin motor and it will have panels on it for sure and a set of TSL/SX swampers or some severly cut R35 ripsaws on it.
What other scale item (1 or 2) could i add to make it legal. Its already got scale DANA 60 axles on it. I wish that was enough. That UGC chassis is extremely tight. its like trying to cram 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag.

Just read the G6 homecoming thread and wondered if my setup would be considered the AR60 MODIFIED class?

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

anyone have pics of the courses or obstacles yet? just curious.

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

it wont be setup until a day or 2 before the event...

but heres some scouting pics ive taken and some pics of the rc orvpark..

superlifts rc orv pictures by jah6580 - Photobucket

Scouting pics look awesome !! Can't wait for it to get here ! Thought I saw some nasty looking water in one of those pics...LOL

Edit that... I just signed up and bought my ticket...lol... So will I need to print anything off to bring to the competition to prove I payed n stuff?

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

sweet pics. That looks like it would be worth a 10 hr drive for me. Hell get em to throw up a bounty on showtime hill for us rc guys. Full length. talk about death of a rc truck if it rolled backward off of though. Im gettin super stoked over this. I gotta get my sh*t together for sure now.

I found what I was looking for, the app doesn't work with my iPhone, but I'm gonna get the ticket printed off this week.. Then I'm good to go.. Can't wait.

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

Heck ya, the axles will count as a scale item, the tow strap is mandatory, but we will have official limited edition G6 tow straps for this event. "thumbsup"

Just make sure you have all mandatory scale items for this event. One of my favorite is a 1/4"x1/4" piece of aluminum folded to look like a space blanket. (great item, TREE) It takes up no space and weights nothing!



One of the adventure aspects of a RECON G6 Challenge, hmmm, what do I have instore for this event? I quess ya'll gonna just have to show up & see. I will tell you that there will be several "first time" challenges that are going to take place.

Now the question is; Will they be Driver Challenges or Driving Challenges or both? :twisted:

The G-Crew will have the intel for those that pay thru Eventbrite. Signing up early saves some cheddar, but signing up the day of the event is also acceptable.

I agree, after seeing the scouting pics, I'm so effing stoked! The last time I got to play in the woods was with my good friend, ROCKEDUP RICKY. ( hmmm, if that sentence is read the wrong way, would it be area appropriate?) Which was at the '10 Nats in Disney, OK.



Be careful what you ask for, I've been know to grant wishes with extra pepper on them! :shock:




I can tell you that the gang at the Superlift ORV Park is already completed tasks and working on others that I have asked for. They are just as stoked as we, the G-Crew and Drivers are!

The Terra-X race will be a "must drive in" event. That is why everyone who enters the Superlift Southern Showdown G6 receives one entry in the Terra-X.

Good luck and God Speed to all Drivers who will earn the title of "G6'er" after this event.

See ya'll soon! "thumbsup"

We're G6'n and YOU know IT!

How many entries do you think you'll get? I know 4 from our local crawling club are planning on being there for the g6 adventurist class..

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

No matter how many entries we get, we are going to have FUN!

3 or 300, the G-Crew puts on the same great event; I quarooonteeeee!

Welcome aboard, Fast Eddy Bearings.

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

Nice! Would appear as if it's scaling up to be one hell of a time. For some reason I can't buy a ticket on my iPad. Tomorrow work I will get the deed done. Need to get a winch by the looks of it!

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

Oh MY, it's G-Train time.

Help me welcome the Official Tire of the RECON G6 Challenge and on board the G-Train headed to the Superlift Southern Showdown G6...

Put the bite in traction, Pitbull Tires have helped me drive lines that others have to pull cable to follow! "thumbsup"

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

Nice & thank you & yes sir, it's gonna set the rocks on fire at the Superlift ORV Park.

A winch is very useful and sand ramps are one of the most useful scale items you can carry on your G-Ride (scaler).

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

On board the G-Train headed South is a supporter that keeps G6'ers writing in their driver log books by suppling pens to G6'ers...

http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...ITALBOAT56.jpg

If you live in Sacramento, CA or the surrounding area, go see them to keep your boat out on the water providing hours of recreation.

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

We're working on it, rules don't really say so can kcrc share a sand ramp? Will we all be running together in a group?

Re: RECON G6 Challenge "The Superlift Southern Showdown G6" & "Outlaw Terra-X"
 

Hell yeah. Helping each other get through a stage is one of the best parts of the adventure and is the best way to get through a stage.

The Ultra Drivers are only allowed to get help from other Ultra Drivers, if none are around, they must self recover.

All other classes may help each other and are encouraged to do so. Sharing sand ramps is a perfect example; just as long as they're put back on a rig when everyone is finished using them.

Feel free to ask anymore questions. If I can't answer them, we have some experienced G6'ers that have plenty of stage knowledge that can answer most questions.
