Great videos and Im still LMAO at the water sound effects! Classic! HAHAHAHA!

[Moondoggie]

Looks like much fun! Would be great to have an indoor space like that around here that could be used for that purpose.

[HuskeyHilux]

The sound effects made me want to gouge my eardrums out! In a good way though:thumb:

Looks like a pretty cool place to do some scale crawling!

I'll definitely have to come to the next one! When is it?

That is not yet decided .
I first need more people committing to it .
At our previous event in May we had less guys showing up as what we had at the first time last year in November …
If you asked me , I would do that every weekend , ha …
I would like to do it every 2 months or so ,
But for that I do need feedback of people to come ..
For this May event I had a good bunch of people contacting me ,
and writing me they would come , but NON of them showed up …
No new guys .
On some of the other forums it was said that there was evidently a competition event the same weekend ? and some didn’t like that it was on a Holiday weekend ,
and others didn’t want to pay the $ 20,- registration fee .
We had the same crew ( a couple less ) as last time ,
The guys from Full-Throttle-RC !
We need to pass the word about this ,
Since this is such a great place to play and have fun ,
No matter what the weather is like …
As soon I have a good number of people committing they would like to come ,
I get it arranged to do the next event

Just finished another video from our May 2010 Trucking & crawling event .

Doug build a very special obstacle course for our May 2010 trucking & crawling event at the AAF-Tank-Museum in Danville , VA .
A steel-wire-bridge spanning , about 8 feet up in the air , all the way along side of the R/C tank-battlefield with additional obstacles at the end .
This required some real precision driving , otherwise = crash !

Check it out :

and here is another one ,
I know it does not belong here ,
But since I like to show you guys the possibilities of this cool setup we have there ,
I hope the forums-administrator lets this slide
the semi-trucks and train you see there are my builds
the semi-trucks are 1/16 scale and use some Tamiya parts.
One of them build as a 6WD.

My only problem is that neither of these videos have anything to do with TAMIYA crawlers. But I'll let the admin decide.

[McFig]

Second point. I didn't see any Tamiya axled vehicles in your first post either.

You didn’t see any Tamiya vehicles or with Tamiya axles in either of my videos ?

Then watch them again .
The first video “ the Crawler Parade “ includes a Tamiya F-350 – modified as Crawler ,
and the Blue Toyota is a Tamiya , as well the red Tundra …

in the battlefield over-view video you see a Tamiya King Hauler .
this video was just posted to show what kind a terrain we have there for the crawling and trucking .

the 3rd video “crawler 8 feet up …. “ shows only 2 vehicles ,
which one of them again is my F-350 …

the last video , to show the possibilities on our play-ground ,
shows a gray German semi-truck , which is 6WD , done with Tamiya TLT-1 axles

Sorry, I missed those. Guess I will need to go back and watch them again.

Hey Willy, I missed it this year (new baby so I have a ligitimate excuse) but plan to be at future events. I'll have a CR-01 & building a High Lift so I can help tip the scales in the Tamiya direction for your videos.

[That guy]

:cool:I wish I was closer, I would love to have that as a playground/ testing ground!!!! You guys did an amazing job on the town and the obstacles! If I ever head your way, I will surely look you and your guys up!:yourock:

Nice terrain to play on!
