Attended My First Comp. (lol)
« on: May 07, 2006, 11:22:51 PM »
Ummmmm.....yea. So I attended a RC rock crawling competition on Saturday. Interesting bunch of people but really cool. I showed up late and they all saw me pull up in my truck (the only "real" rig there).  I got a few comments on my "scalie" as they called it but not really a whole lot of interest was shown in it. The focus was just on their RC rigs.  They actually seemed surprised that we were into "real" rock crawling ( I don't think any of them had actually been wheeling before). I couldn't stay too long but did manage to snap a few pics for you guys. enjoy........

This scale jeep had a custom tube chassis brazed from brake line. Gawd it was heavy but did pretty good still




Check out this guys spotter haha


My favorite (and actual winner of the comp) "the Beaver" we all got to taste a little beaver on saturday.




RIP KYOTA

Me too. I'm in the process of building 4 different RC crawlers, 2 fast RC trucks, and a real truck. As soon as I get one done, I'll be forming a club and competitions here in STL since there are none now. I had to drive 2 hours away.  :driving:
