I still dont know what to get yet, the regular 55t or the 55t pro?

[Ponch]

Cool... The XRS can handle up to 7 cells actually.

Just got back from Leisure, picked up 6 oz of lead weights for the fronts and the Novak XRS, only $50 at leisure, I expected more tbh lol...
The Novak 55t motor there though, they want $40 for it so I said no thanks for now, I'm just going to get it offline.

It amazes me how many people are jumping on the crawler bus now. I've wanted one for a LONG time since matt got his about a year ago. Was gonna pick one up with some tax money but maybe I'll just wait a little longer. The way things around these parts go there'll be 6 of them in the market place in 2 months lol.

[Ponch]

Sh!t better be fun lol...

Actually, there are 3 new "fullsize" trucks coming out this year and 1 new mini crawler... Axial is also releasing a truck aimed to compete with the Wk.

cool more choices. Actually I was talking about the marketplace on this site, but hey thats even better. What companys are introducing trucks? and by full size what is that?

[Jetboat]

Kyosho has an offering that looks pretty cool, supposed to be a June 08 release, buggy type platform, rear dig and winching on the truck (at least in what we have seen so far). Cant reveal what I know about the one truck I know for sure about (sorry been sworn to secretcy). If you surf around on RCC some of the "beens" have been "spilled". Pti is coming out with a "Pro" version of the GRC ,rumor is better axles and more of a truck on par with the axial. Of course there is the new axial coming out, many of the same basic components but allot of the green aluminum is replaced with Plastic and supposedly open diffs to make it have "bashability" rather than a straight on crawler.
The sport is growing leaps and bounds, you will see great growth over the next year or so. Its nice that hobby shops are starting to get involved now and realize how much the sport is growing. The HT comp was huge as far as a comp in our area goes and I only expect the next 1 to be larger.
Ive been out today looking for outdoor comp spots (I think I may have frost bite on my ears) If I can get permission from the town to do a little clean up I may have found a good outdoor location but, its about 2hrs from Chicago. Im also hopeful that Chicago Underground will set something up. They have a LARGE indoor facility and could easily accomidate a huge course.

I just talked to Bernie at Leisure Hours Raceway and he said yes to doing the outdoor crawlin area next to the on-road course. It will serve 2 purposes, 1st crawlin course, 2nd run off area for the water from the off-road and on-road! I told him i'm all for helping build it and i'm sure some of you guys would be willing to help do it too! LMK whowants to help do this when the weather warms up!

Thanks!
Matt

count me in too help if I can get out of the house

[Ponch]

That's all from The Crawler Store. (The Crawler Store LLC)
I got the delrin set because it was cheaper and in stock (aluminum was a little less than double the price, and out of stock).

[BJoe]

I think the delrin tray would be better from a battery short perspective over the aluminum one.

[Ponch]

That's a good point too

[BJoe]

Somebody on RCCrawler had that happen a while back, I'll see if I can find the thread.

[Mnster]

So uhhhh, when is the next comp?

[Jetboat]

last I spoke with Mike he said mid feb, this time they should have a full stock of parts and tires.

[Ponch]

Man... Can we make it early february?











And do you know if the owner would care if we had a "meet up" at the crawler course one night? just throw down some gates and see who can make it..

[bubbaracing]

Yep early Feb would be better cause i'm leavin the 22nd on vacation!

[rocco79]

Sounds like they better get a microwave and a case of rib sammiches too huh ponch? hehehe

[Ponch]

Psh no, philly cheese is where it's at.

[J-Dub]

[Ponch]

Ohh yeah (rubs belly) those caramel drumsticks are goooood....
