Yeah we just got back! It was 4 trucks 3 clods and a Txt-1. Had a awesome time! The guys want to go again before it snows. One guy drove 5 hours to get to the lake. I'll try my best to be out there if I can make it. I'd bring my friend with the solid axle maxx and my brother a local Clod crawler guy that wants to go. There was a guy with a stock emaxx that wanted to go last time but his wife canceled his plans.

Here is the event thread, pictures from the recent GTG coming soon.

Feel free to post up your new event on Rccrawler there will be a few guys wanting to go.

You might want to mod your maxxes a bit before you go. Buy some Spools or lock the diffs, smaller pinions, and soften the suspension up.

All setup to go again on Nov 12th. There is a good hobbyshop to stop at on the way it's near the exit ramp on the freeway. R/c Performance and Hobby we meet there then drive up usually.

What radio are you running? the tq3 radio antenna's rip easy the box is kinda sharp. Then the other stuff could go wrong like loose screws jiggly metal makes the radio go nuts. Esc could be overloaded if you are extracting to much power for the servos. Esc could be junk, loose wire, that kinda thing.

Good times, good times!
Great pix, can't wait to get there. How far off the 90 is the shop? Being so late in the season, I called the park and they said it'd be pretty deserted, anyone do nitro up there, any complaints?

I never had any issues with getting in trouble at the park. I went on their message board and asked about electric crawlers they didn't care.

I just figured other people might get pissed from the chainsaw like noise and tell the park ranger. If your just going in the parking lot I'm sure thats fine. I've seen a T-maxx at a campsite once before.
T-maxx's are not supposed to go slow anyways they burn up clutches. They have a beach you could possibly drive on to maybe, no one will swim now.

Your electric will be better on the rocks anyways more grunt and torque. Just gear it way down like walking speed and get some spools.
