That's because the north end of the valley sucks. Henderson is the place to be.. I don't live near the fire so I only heard about it on the radio. Emosean (seanlvcrawler)lives out in BFE near you. Pm him, I'm sure he could give you a ride out to a crawl sometime.

ah, but thats where the good part starts. Im on a acre of land. With a 5400 sq foot house. and a 1200 sq foot garage. I have some land beside me ima throw some rocks on and use to crawl. Or i could go to lone mountain park and crawl. Or even mountain crest. Hell, Even bunker has a few nice spots to do so. me n sean could crawl within 5 minutes of our houses! wait, about 2 minutes form his house. But, ill be driving soon, so ill be able to drive myself out to these places. (in my moms van, of course!)

ive got a half acre and a 1700 ft garage, and we have the WEROCK competition site. i just dont like the people on that side of town, just like anthem area too uppity for their own good.

sean has a bmv2 chassis like what you're copying with yours. it was mine, i wasnt really happy with it so i sold it to shawn, he seems to like it though... why do you have those drive cups on your axles? ditch those things
