Lafayette area crawling

[DareDiver]

Hello there I jus recently found out about the kits that you can now buy for rc rock crawling. I am looking into get into the sport. But im curious if there is any where near Lafayette that i could run the truck and actually get some good use out of the crawler. Cuz ive been told that in south Louisiana if you see a rock most likly its been imported. So are there any crawler tracks that anyone has made or any known natural rock areas near lafayette. So any help would be great thanks....

hay buddy i live in St Martinville thay have a few rock on the leve near lake false point near the water, i been picking up some every now and then to make a pile and i seen some rocks at cajun rc in laff but i never drove my truck there

 

[DareDiver]

Well i dont know exactly where thats at but ill map quest it and see. so jus pick up rocks and throw some where at your house. thats pretty good idea. cajun rc yeah i think i know what rocks your talkin bout but that a lil close to the road which is way to busy. Oh does cajun rc and big boys toys sells and rock crawlers in the store. i emailed big boys toys and yet to get a reply. Thanks man for responding.

i thought about buying a crawler also....shannon (cajun r/c owner) would carry more parts, if he saw an intrest, i stopped by big boy toys the other day, they appear to stopped carrying anything thing other than traxxas cars, a few planes, and align helicopters.....they used to have a place in lafayette called "jeep trails", in back of posados mexican restaurant on ambassador caffery, they used to have piles of dirt and rocks, but dont remember how to get there, was over 10 years ago....used to jump our bmx bikes there....

The "jeep trails" are gone in the past

Yeah the hobby shops blow also well in laffayette they do. I went to the hobbytown in baton rouge and they had a huge selection of rcs and other stuff. They had the ax10 kit also, but no other parts for it...

 

[redmiller]

yeah but i mean if u into traxxas big time u can go to big boys and im sure they have every traxxas part in the book there

 

[BigBoy]

I agree! Years ago when BigBoysToys was on the other side of Andy's jewelers they had a great selection of rc's but this new owner is in love with Traxxas.

I haven't been to Cajun RC is a long time (Shannon is an ass) but they did carry Traxxas, HPI, Losi, Associated and a decent amount of parts at one time.

IMO it's hard to beat the on line hobby shops, the prices are better and I don't have to hear "this Traxxas part will only work on a Traxxas rc".......They have no imagination!
