Default Free Crawl Saturday 9-27 at Bell Isle

I'm planning to go out to Bell Isle this Saturday (weather permitting) to do some free crawling so if anyone wants to come out, please do. I'll probably get out there around 9 or 10, I'm not sure yet. Post up and let me know if you feel like coming out. If we get 5 or more people, maybe we can do another little money run or something, like $5 a person. Or just explore the boundless rocks of Bell Isle, there is still a lot of that place I've not even seen.

dave pack is running the hpi race this weekend and jason is running somewhere around there in that area as well, i believe, but not at the hpi event. that'd be cool as hell though if you guys could come down and run for some money. i regret missing the last one.

I talked to Joe and he will be coming out with his 2.2 FJ scaler if it's not raining. Right now it looks the rain will be stopping around 9:00 so hopefully it will be nice, just wet rocks. So wear some good traction shoes, we've all fallen out there when these rocks at Belle Isle get wet, they become real slick.

I'm debating on what rigs to bring out. My 2.2 Berg is ready to go but I'm wanting to finish my HR MOA axle conversion to my Zero setup but not sure if I can finish it. I'll have the Losi MRC, which I have to put a new servo and different shocks on, and I need to fix my body mount on my 1.9 JK before it's driveable. Got to get all that done tonight. We'll see what I can manage. I will definitely have a 2.2 comp and the 1.9 comp rigs. I wish we didn't have to walk up/down 5 flights of steps to get to the rocks, I hate trying to carry three rigs out of there.

See you all in the morning.

Cool. Glad you can make it. There is a path right across from 21st street that takes you to a walkway bridge over the R/R tracks. You can't miss the rocks and if we are already down there, you will see us from atop the stairs. If you are there early, you can just wait at the bridge and then you won't miss us.

See you there!
