Next build = Rock crawler

[MetalMan]

It's about time...

Here are just a few of the local crawling places (I've been to all of these):
-Corona del Mar (on the beach)
-Tewinkle Memorial Park (right next to the OC Fairgrounds)
-Mile Square Park (in the dried up stream off of Edinger and Ward)
-Central Park in HB (around the lake)
-indoor crawling at RCP Crawlers in Upland

If you want to be competitive, go 2.2 class, which stands for 2.2" wheel diameter. It's all the rage right now. The best set of axles would definitely be Axials IMO, in fact I switched to them from my modified Wheely King axles and have had great luck with them.

I was hoping you would jump in Travis.. Ok the 2.2. Got it.. The sites referenced above are killer.. (Thank you, I dint have a clue that there are that many places around me to do it).. Great pull Sir..

What about this.. (sorry for all the of the Newbie questions)..
• Do I want to custom build it or buy a kit (?) I really don’t care about the cost, so no budget restrains
• Where can I go to read or is there a crawler magazine out that has different builds for viewing (?)
• In rock crawling I want functionality over looks right (?) IE No bling!..
• Do they use Brushed or BL motors (?)
• The batteries / lipos are different that what we use in our RC’s right (?) are they more like plane or Heli Lipos (small with low runtimes ?)
• Does weight mater (?) heavier or the lighter what is the goal (?)


Thanks for your time Sir.. and please remember to bring the tires to work tomorrow, I’ve got to be in Simi Valley until 6:00pm so I'm hoping I can make it buy 8:00 pm..

Sunday works for me, what time do the races start (?) and should I bring my 808 or Slash (?)..
