Hey guys, getting back into crawling. I just purchased a X trail chassised AX -10. It comes with the stock side plates so I am unsure if I will continue with the scaler look with 1.9 or convert it back and make a comp rig. I would be real interested in getting together and doing some runs once I get it going. Anybody doing anything around the charleston area. I saw that some members have scouted at Kanawha state forest, that would be cool. |

I'm with Dirt Monkey. I am an hour away, but if there is ever a gtg scheduled I would do my best to make it. I would love to find some new places to run my scaler.

Spring? What is this spring thing you speak of. Trading the crawler for a dog sled |

Got the crawler in, I have some work to do. Its an AX-10 with an X-trail chassis. The shocks are setup according to TCS, but they are suprisingly stiff. Looking forward to permanent warm weather so I can get out and do some crawling. |

I line in dunbar and would love to crawl saturday... IF my brushless setup arrives by then. Im not sure it will make it and my scaler is down at the moment pending a rebuild. If I get something together I probably wont be able to do anything till the afternoon... my old lady has to work saturday morning so I have kid duty. Let me see if I get some wrench time tonite to throw something together.

| I'm in Barboursville and work in Milton, lol. Coonskin Park in Charleston would also be a great place...lots of shallow, slow moving creek beds there to play in. I wouldn't mind getting together sometime...once I get my rig put back together. Although my truck is more of a trail truck than a crawler... |

kanawha state forest is filled with killer creek runs. I know of places that would be killer for a comp setup, but it takes a hard ride on a mountain bike to get to them... It's doubtful i'll get to run this weekend... but im not giving up hope
