10/16/2011

Okay guys next crawl date is 10/16 at transmountain at the very top of the hill heading towards the elephant trail we will meet at 8:30, again I will go out and set up the course before hand. Since this is a state park we also need to pay an entry fee but there is no entry station just an envelope drop station.

10/30/2011

I say we do a crawl somewhere in las cruces area so Byron or anybody from that area please post the location or meeting place.

Thanks

Jorge

Jorge, guys, thank you for the opportunity to see first hand the Crawlers in action. It was our first time at a Crawler R/C Track .
Hope next time around join you guys again and learn more about the hobby.
You guys taught us about Teamwork and to manage using the Crawlers.
Wanted to thank you all for your great advise and sharing of knowledge . We learned a lot. Now has come the time to get a Rig or two.
Thank you guys we had a great time!!! Thank you for giving Eric Jr. a hands on experience with a Crawler Truck. We are looking forward to meet again.

Pickleb21- Glad you guys enjoyed your time out there. Eric jr. seemed to do good with my crawler. Hope to see you guys out at the next meet.

Thank you Alfonso, you were very kind by letting my son have some hands -on training with your Crawler. Thank you ,that means a lot to us.

Yes, currently we are doing our homework of getting to know the different types of Crawler Vehicles available.

So far to start he may get a pre-built one and take it from there to learn about the different upgrades available. He has his eyes on the Traxxas Summit and the Axial Wraith. Will keep on asking questions to you guys... you know best.
I'm sure he will also end up building his own designed Truck in no time, he has great imagination.

I'm pretty much involved on Electric and sail powered scale boats, much of it scratchbuilt . Eric jr is mostly into Model Rocketry , r/c Battle Tanks and track cars , he has some four VXL Rustlers and a Stampede. Just finished with his MOD Rustler, installed a Mamba Monster 1/8 Brushless. I guess wants it to fly like some of his rockets do.

Our plan was to get into Airplanes or Helis by the end of the year, I guess now will be Crawling Trucks instead. Found it to be kind of challenging.

Thank you for such a warm welcome.

Eric no problem. Your son looked like he just wanted to start crawling right there and then. As far as what rig to get its up to you guys but as far as aftermarket parts and support you cant beat axial products(thats who makes the wraith). If you guys have any questions dont hesitate to ask. In the mean time you guys might want to check out www.rccrawler.com There is a ton of info there.

Glad you guys also had a good time, summit is an awesome truck it can crawl and be a speedemon, but not as a first crawler guys you will not get the same use or compete like the other trucks do. Please come by the shop with all your questions wether you buy from me or not the guys and me will not point you in the wrong direction. You can start with an axial which is a great rig that can be modified into almost anything you can imagIne.
