I got out my electrics today with this nice weather, now the bug has hit and I am getting new batteries to get back to bashing. If anyone is still around and wants to try and get some weekend get togethers going I would be more than happy to join.
Just finally got our cars this week. New Traxxas Slash VXL and Losi Rock Rey. Have been looking everywhere to try to find active enthusiasts in the area. Hope there are others still around as well. Maybe we can get a few of us together sometime.

I was at city park a few days ago with a traxxas stampede and had a stranger's kid chasing my truck around as if it was the coolest thing. I think I might have convinced the dad to try out the hobby just by running his kids to exhaustion

Nice! It's good to hear that there are atleast a few others around still. Just took a friend up and got a slash 2wd vxl. I also picked up an Axial SCX10 II kit to keep me occupied when im not messing around with the Slash and Rock Rey. We are going to check out some areas around town this weekend that some people have suggested. If anyone wants to meet up sometime and talk shop or go bashing I think it'd be nice to get a few of us together.

Well I found a company I've never heard of before called Arrma and decided to check out their 1/8th scale stuff. Bought a Nero and got it out today for some puddle jumping. Once this weather clears up I hope to get out for some crazy bashing.

Indeed life does exist here! I got the opportunity to run at your track once JP, it was really cool to see someone have something like that in their side yard lol. Unfortunately I will be moving to Kansas City in 2 months for a new job so I wont be around to see how the life on here grows Hopefully the spring/summer will bring everyone out from hiding.

If I could sell most of my RC stuff, I would get a rock crawler and built an awesome trail course. All I want to keep is my short course trucks. But I have been unsuccessful with that so far.

Well, we have found the area on linear trail behind the police station. Great for bashing with alot of jumps and ramps. There is four of us that get together most nights and bash or fix what we broke last time. Lol. Im still working on my SCX10 II but we have our slash and rock rey. Recently got our carpet buggy together to try out the track at Ultraline in Topeka. The other guys have a slash and rustler. I'd like to get my phantom pro 3 4k updated to get some video if this weather would clear up.

Kathy where do you park at and enter the trail to find the place you bash at? I went over by the old cat town hobbies building and went towards the police station but it was flooded and the trail was closed so I didn't find much as I had to turn back.

Behind the Four Point Sheraton. We have been waiting for the weather to clear up to venture down there.

Awesome thank you for the map pic too! I will definitely have to try that place out when the weather clears up.

We are hoping to get down there this weekend. Fingers crossed that the weather clears up long enough to dry it out.
