I was also going to stop and ask the dnr if there was any problem with us being out there but there was no one there. I dont think there would be a problem but I thought I'd ask.

mnster, that is a great pic. They would probably like that at the hobby store. actually I was thinking and maybe, with your permission, I can put one up at the hobby store in reedsburg. maybe we can get more people next year, or get them to make a course at their outdoor track. that would be sweet!

Sure, I don't care post pictures where ever you want. It will bring more people into crawling which is always cool. I also have a few more pics on page 3-5 if you want to use my pics. If you want to post your pic's here email me them.

Leafs are cool it will just give us some filler material for the big tire eating holes. Really we mostly crawl large rock faces so we should be fine.

I talked to the the guy that runs the Devils lake message board about this being legal. He didn't seem to care as long as we where not running people off the hiking trails with our trucks. As long as we didn't get in the way of other peoples adventures we should be fine. I've been there about 10 times, maybe more, all day long with no issues. People love watching our trucks I've had several people stop to comment on how cool they are. Sure about 75% just stop to say how much did that cost. But I've had several people cheer me on as I crawl over rocks. Being this far out of park season there should be a lack of jay walking people at the park which is nice.

Halfj-7, I had a close call today with work as well. Almost didn't get it off, but since my boss is kinda nice, he said ok. I could hear some people talking behind my back about me having the lowest seriority and what not but

them. I need to get away so bad, I have to many college classes and hours boring of work. I hardly even get to enjoy the sunlight anymore I'm indoors all the time and stay up all night.

I know what you mean, I spend most of my day indoors, but I have to travle from place to place. So I get to enjoy when I can. Only about a week left before I'm on vac!!

It's only a week away from work, but it's NOT work.

Mnster · 11-10-2005, 12:31 PM

I talked to the guy thats coming out from chicago he said he will be there Friday I guess he is camping the weekend. He said his e maxx is setup for racing but he will take several videos of our trucks.

I have to work Friday so I guess I have to get everything ready to go tonight.

I don't know how you indoors people do it. That was a major factor in quiting my body shop job. Two years of trade school then one year in the buisness was all I couild take. I'm much happier now.

thumbman · 11-10-2005, 07:13 PM

I found 5 extra 27 MHz AM crystles, So we all can crawl at the same time. I don't mind letting others useing them for the day.

Mnster · 11-11-2005, 01:40 AM

I think I'm going to send my brother to radioshack tomorrow to pick up a few more battery packs. They have name brand GP3300 stick packs for $25

Other then that I should be ready to go.

Mnster · 11-11-2005, 09:35 AM

My brother left to pickup 3-4 battery packs. I'll have to pickup some connectors at the madison LHS and wire them on the way up. I might be a just tad late for 11:00 since I am meeting up with that guy for the 1:1 wheel exchange at earlier time now. So I guess after we get there whenever the trucks need to be recharged and were hungry just take a break. I still need to load the car and inspect the trucks for damage.

thumbman · 11-11-2005, 06:07 PM

I'm all set to crawl, I found some minor damage from Sunday, and made repair. It would of sucked if the screw that heald one of my links broke on me. Will see how it crawls tomorow, I need to work on it. That will be my winter project.

Cole82 · 11-11-2005, 07:19 PM

Mnster thanks for telling me about the radio shack gp's. The guy didn't understand why I was so interested in the batts.

Mnster · 11-11-2005, 09:00 PM

Np, My brother ended up with 4 packs.

One problem though the weather looks horrible. :-(

Don't know if you guys want to just go anyways or set it up for sunday or next week. :neutral:

Cole82 · 11-11-2005, 09:25 PM

Saturday is the only time I can come out.
It's only 50/50 and it's going to be almost 60deg.

Soya · 11-11-2005, 09:39 PM

Lets go anyway.

Mnster · 11-11-2005, 09:39 PM

I'd like to change my vote from sunday to tomorrow. I still need to be up there to drop that wheel off. Maybe I can go saturday and crawl some then spend the night in a hotel and do some more crawling on sunday if soya can. This is the only weekend my bro has off.

So yeah I guess I'm in for tomorrow. :-P

Mnster · 11-11-2005, 09:41 PM

Majority rule, I guess we are still going tomorrow.

Bring the poncho's and the silicone
