RockCrawling in Cairns.
 

I reckon it's about time to get a rock crawling thread on here.

This is nothing formal yet but just a general chance to get together
and go rock crawling.

The venu at this stage is The Barron Gorge right at the end near the power station. It's a awsome spot for rock crawling with difficulty ranging from easy to challenging.

Anyway, we'll hold the meet on on Sunday the 29/11/09,
at about 10:00am.
If you don't know where it is PM me.

Let me know if any of ya are interested. :D Rock on :tire::tire:

my elbows and knees are gonna be bloody sore come monday:lol::lol:

I'm considering a crawler :sneaky:, so will keep my eye's on this thread

Time and Date
 

Ok guys. Due to other commitments it looks like we'll hold a social crawl on Sunday the 29/11/09 at about 10:00am.
The venu is The Barron Gorge near the power station. Just follow the road into Lake Placid, up the hill and you'er there.

I look forward to seeing ya there. :D Rock on :tire::tire:

Will see you there @ both events, i scored a few decent rocks and put them in the back yard, its a start to a bit of a course with some timber etc, will post pics when i get some .
see you there. :nod: :D

It's about time someone started crawling in Cairns,I sure love to join you but transport is a problem from port.I have a Berg with brushless motors and a vw body.Is it ok to use a 36 meg radio, it came with the crawler?

If you can make it, come along. The more, the merrier i reckon. :nod:
Maybe if we can get the ball rolling we may
look at organising a crawl up at Port.:batman:

Bring what ya got mate, theres no restrictions what we run yet. It's only a social crawl. Later we'll hold comps.

As for your radio frequency, ( 36 meg ) It not a problem, bring what you got.

Well the crawlers once again invaded the gorge special forces style and ran amok today. :sneaky:
Thanks to everyone who turned up, especialy if you made a mammoth trip for the occasion. :nod:
I gotta say those scalers are really sweet.

I for one can't wait till the next outing, I'll keep you'all posted for a date.
Hopefully i'll have some photos up soon.

Till next time, rock on :tire::tire:

Hi guys.
What do you reckon setting the next crawl date for the 03/01/10.
with christmass an all, december is too busy. I know the 3rd isn't much better but i'm open to what you think. Let me know ok.

Usual place unless you wanna meet somewhere else, say about 10:00am

Rock-on :tire::tire:

Allrighty then...hi good to see you guys start a crawler thread.

Oh and here is the tread you want.... I wonder if this is you guys in this thread. :sneaky:

Just a gidday from a fellow crawler..

I also am too far away to join you boys, but yeah.

My mate and i both bought AX10's only 2 weeks ago so still learning.

Great fun, i have to admit, especially concidering i thought it would be boring. But with a group of mates, a few stubbies, and no "blink and you miss the corner" attitude it is really a good laugh

I found you only need a few tennis balls cut in half and with only one crawler, everyone can still have a go.

Hey, thanks for the input guys. Good to get some " out of towners " on the thread. :lol:
I look forward to swaping ideas info with you all.

Yeah Adz, thats the thread i started and keep up.

There's only a few of us up here, but hopefully more will see the light. :sneaky::D
Nice rigs ya got there, I only got a AX10 with a few mods but plan on getting another rig soon, probably a scaler. Not that my crawlers my only RC.
The house is full of em. :sneaky::D

Cheers. Ken
Rock-on :tire::tire:

Don't worry mate, a social comp. is already on the list and slowly comming together in the old brain box.

Im keeping my eye out for some good stones for the track, ive also been eye balling some indoor courses on you tube for some ideas. maybe i can get a steel frame knocked up, we can make a on/off ramp table top like, seen a few beauties so i might ask a mate if i can use the welder. :nod: err dont look at the quality of the welds but :lol: maybe we can make something to take on the displays etc.
im off to build some new shocks :nod::nod::sneaky: (Losi)
