Default Axial UFO'S a GO-GO RECON G6 Apple Valley, CA May 10, 2014



Am I dreaming? I wish I had been dreaming. I was abducted, allegedly. I had no service or recollection of where I have been, but I am free now. The Greys will be looking for me, rest assured. I know their plan. Can we take out the Aliens before they abduct more G6’ers to populate planets where they need the ultimate scale adventure drivers to man taxi’s.

UFO’s & Aliens will be taking over the Horsemans Center in Apple Valley, CA. Are you ready for a day and night RECON G6 Stage? Are you ready for some “out of this World” rock? Are you ready to G6 in an area that is well known for “sightings”? If you answered yes to any of these questions or you just want to drive in a radio control scale adventure event that is intergalactically known, then sign up for the Axial UFO’s a GO-GO RECON G6.

I'm planning to make this my first G6. As a newbie I've got a quick requirements question. I'm running a kit build Wraith. I'm just trying to figure out the 10 mandatory scale items. Does anything from the original kit count toward those scale items, such as lights, seats, etc.? What about a driver?

Oh one more question. What kind of water/mud conditions can we expect to see? Apple Valley is pretty much desert right?

Do scale alien hunting items count toward your 10 scale items? Where can I find a list of scale items

Wraith already has all the scale items needed to run (ex: bumpers, lights, roll cage, seats, steering wheel, etc.) Special alien hunting items will earn you bonus points.

Will there be water? My rig is not waterproof.

Where can I find a list of scale items that they honor? I have a drive shaft, high lift, driver, etc. Will they give me more than 10 scale points?

What kind of stuff is Alien Catching gear?

Not sure if there will be water, but if there is it should be scale depth meaning half a tire deep. If your electronics are above the chassis rails, you should be fine.

I don't know of a list of scale items, but I have never seen a driver turned away from a G6. If your rig looks scale, you should be good to go.

Anything you can think of that could be used to catch an alien is considered alien catching gear. It could be a net or an alien trap or whatever, just make it scale size and have fun using your imagination.

I was thinking of a small straw with a string going through it like a dog catcher pole.

I have another question. I'm planning to come with only one truck but my two young sons (4&6) will be sharing the driving duties with me. Do I need to register them as additional drivers? Also, should I register in the 15 and under group? My plan was to run in the regular 2.2 adventurist with myself as the driver and then just let them drive some of it. If that's not the best way to do it though I can do something else.
We'll each have our own trucks for the next one!

You can double check with Rivas or Parker at the event, but I'm sure just one registration is enough.

I would run 1.9 at Horsemans. It's very nice rock. Mostly smooth rock with rough, high grip surface. And large grain sand
