Was doing some searching and came across the 2006 thread. Anything like it happening this year? Sounds like fun from what I've read.

Yes it is.. I've ben meaning to start a thread over here and RCMX. Next one is April 13th thru 15th. CampMaxx happens 2x a year and 2 other events ShowMe Showdown and OctoberFest every year as well. Its a great time! I'm totally going to the next one. There is going to be a raffle. entry/camping fee is minimal. I think its like $20. not really hardcore camping. There is electricity there and an outhouse. RC racing classes are laid back and determined by what Rc's are here. Get at least 3 cars in any class and you are set. Usually there is 1/8 buggy, Truggy, MT's, 1/10 truck, and 1/18.

Cool! I'll miss the first one due to school still but hopefully I can make a later one.

John, interested in a caravan or car pool for the April one if you are going?

I know that the buggy would be considered illegal.

528xr might have something to do with that. But the truggy could be fun as its engine doesn't break any rules.

No problem with the 28 in the buggy. I ran mine with an XTM 247 and the NR 28. last year nobody minds. Usually the two Lake in the Ozarks guys Kit and Denny wipe the floor with everyone. lol!

I'd be interested in a caravan or car pool.. Camaro isn't the best for hauling 2 people RC stuff though its a tight fit depending on how much stuff is brought. We'll see who all is going when it gets nearer.

I've always got my Kia. Its a tight fit with a full compliment of RC's and clothes for 2 people but it works.

I may be up for this trip as well... Not sure how finances will be looking yet.

Not gonna do the first one(april in Stl. is a little chilly at night!!) But the showdown and ocktoberfest I will probably go.

And thirdgen, if you bring it you can run it. There are no restrictions. Last year we ran a truggy with buggys because the guy couldn't get his buggy started. Laid back group of guys so just bring everything.

Good, I don't think I'd have an advantage because of the 528xr anyways. Well...unless the back straight is about 300ft long.

But I doubt that. I don't drive that good, just well enough to make it around the track on a consistent basis without creeping or flipping all the time.

I could use the track experience. A few hours a month at LHR doesn't do much for driving skills on a track.

SixVi6-Camaro · (#11 (**permalink**))

well at the SMRC events you can run all night long.. then awake to the sound of more nitros.. lol! You basically can get all the track time you want.

Just read on the Showme site, with the planned date of April 6-8 falling on Easter weekend, a bunch of the guys will not be able to make it. They are changing the date of the first CampMaxx to April 13-15 (The following weekend).

Tex · (#13 (**permalink**))

I'm going to try and make it for the first one.... Hey Chris and John, wanna share a tent again, I get the middle spot and I will make sure to leave my boots outside overnight again.

no but seriously, I wanna go to this first one. We'll see if I can come up with the money to get out there.

thenewguy821 · (#14 (**permalink**))

I want to go, but have to see how money is that weekend....
