Arkansas Recon G6 "Hills Have Eyes 2" Oct 10th

[big bacon]

Yea I'm kinda retired so I plan on making a mini vacation out of the event. Let's call it a 10th scale vacation.

[Col_Sanders]

I'll be running my generator some. How much will depend on weather, but I like to be cold when I sleep. Coffee will be made and batteries can be charged. Its the built in genny so its quiet. Most likely I'll bring quite a bit of food. Boudin seems to be a hit with the folks who cant get it much and we have a great meat market right by my house that makes it.

I'm trying to talk my wife into running the G6 with me on my backup Honcho (or I guess I could slap some 1.9s on the Wraith) but she has never even driven a crawler so she thinks she will look stupid. I'll try to get her to get a little practice on my course here at the house.

Luv me some boudain , the key is , just don't tell anyone what's in it! Lol.

[big bacon]

Yup yup I'm all about boudain. Let's go drive already. Wonder if I can cook a scale hobo dinner on the scx10

[TrailSnail]

There is a KOA RV campground pretty close by if you need an RV spot. I'll be roughing it there in the RV since the ORV park is booked up.

Gulpha gorge is a park/camp spot..
We crawl there often. Nice place.

Yes,search and rescue...
If you wish make it a zombie search/rescue.

Years of military and marriage have taught me to answer only the question that is asked in this situation:
"Whats in boudin?"
"Pork, rice, and spices."

I'll definitely be bringing spare rigs (including a Yeti to sell) so she will have the option. I'll try to get her to do a little practicing. The Honcho is pretty much ready to roll but I should probably gear it down a little from stock. If I painted it purple she would probably be more likely to want to drive it. Women...

[big bacon]

Yes you are correct! I let my mother drive my jeep once. The next thing I knew I was building her a dingo with an American flag theme paint job.
And just so I know how much you asking for the yetti.

OK so its more of a squeal like Nead Beaty hills have eyes search and rescue! Got it covered! I'll bring the banjo and strap a canoe to the top of my scx10.
For this being my first g6 am I the only one getting super excited?

[Poprivet]

There are some videos on YouTube from last year.

Everything where we'll be.

[big bacon]

Are there going to be any venders there? Selling stuff I might not know I need until I see it !

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

I dont know if any vendors will be there..
I doubt it,but who knows.

[Jensen330]

In general how many batteries should one have to make it threw the even? I currently have 2 5500mah packs that I get around 1.5 hours of run time before having cut out issues.

[Col_Sanders]

^^That doesn't sound right....What motor/esc are you running?? I get ~1 hour and 15 minutes off a 3700 in my Wraith and that's 3s with a Roc 412. I have yet to finish off a pack in one run on my SCXs so I'm not sure how long they last but I have done >2 hours. I run a 4000 on one and two 2200s on the other.

you are running a higher voltage with a lower KV than I am which would explain the better efficiency. for example when running 4s in my 8th scale I get 12 mins on a 4600 pack on a 1900kv motor. when running 6s on a 1400kv motor I get 20 mins on 3300 both geared for the same speed.

I am running a 17.5 geared 87/20 on a 2s 5500mah.

2-3 5000mah should be plenty to get you thru the stage.

Drop that pinion to a 16-18t..Lots more rock crawling this year.

I will do that. This is going to be my 1st comp ever if I am able to get away for the weekend. I just want to make sure I am properly prepared for my best chances at completing the even.

Well that's an order I have to make. I'll have to search the threads on her to find best combos. All my rigs are stock. Have not gotten into over and under drive yet.
