cool, any idea what your gonna get? BTW do you want me to tell the Yorkshire RC Beasts group, a few of them will likely turn up, good lads
Welcome to invite who you like. 🙂 Just let them know we have a forum too.
Leaning towards a TRX-4. I'm a sucker for Traxxas, they are good and parts and hopups easy to get.

I ponder this sometimes, if as a community we could design and build our own RC car... what scale would we choose? What model type? What would our communal goal be that we'd want from an RC car?
All hypothetically speaking but I thought I'd just shoot this out there. 😉
I feel with us mostly being bashers, then strength, simplicity and value would be the core principles. Scale and model type is a hard one, 1/8th or 1/10th comes to my mind but it's hard to pin down where to try and get your foot in the door with the model type, with most being done to death already.
Lets discuss. 🙂

I've seen similar in UK where they are used for steep grass banks. They have tracks instead of wheels though.

Ah okay. Sounds great. 🙂
No I don't have a crawler but plan to by this event!!!

Good bit of kit there Suits.
Buggy turns like its on rails. I have the MX6 too, can't go wrong with Sanwa, even for their cheaper gear.

Factory seals are actually there for the supplier/retailer to show it is complete on arrival. I get why a customer might be annoyed if these are broken but it isn't uncommon for retailers to tear them open to add a few extra bits in off your order instead of putting it in a bigger box with a load of packing peanuts.
But yeah there's no excuse for the product to be damaged/scratched.

I don't mean to sound savage here... but why do HPI continue to regurgitate the same stuff which ultimately led to their bankruptcy? They need to take a giant leap and actually launch something new and exciting...
...and by that I don't mean a small petrol engine Savage.
In 5 years time nobody new to the hobby will know who HPI are.

I'm watching "Outer Range" on Amazon Prime, 2 new episodes every Friday and I'm hooked. Great show.
Better Call Saul's new season is also out on Netflix and I've just started The Queen's Gambit.

Now then! I’m Malton based, do you get out round there at all?
Sorry for late reply, not much unless its for the food festival. 😄 I don't go far out of York area to be honest, or if I do I head west.

Welcome to the forum. 🙂
Great hobby for getting people away from screens... as long as it's not away from browsing this forum. 😉

Great responses so far.

Sounds good! How many gate markers do you have? I'm wondering if we just put them up as we see good places, I'll be there earlier though just to get nested if you want to come for just after 9 perhaps.
(also explain how gate markers work for us none-crawler folks
do we just have to drive through them?)

I did want to put some charity spin on this but being the first one, lets meet up, put some names to faces, have a good time and we can maybe do one again with some charity in mind.

Piccies of place...
Car Park:

WHAT IS IT?
We are hosting an informal meet for crawling, all are welcome to this event who have a scale / crawler RC - there is space to use other RCs but you will probably be missing out the main fun!
We will be setting some small/fun challenges on the day. Maybe some little prizes... maybe just for an ego boost.
WHERE IS IT?
The car park is bang in the middle of the action! See the Google Maps marker here:
Haworth, Keighley BD22 9RH
There is other parking nearby, which is about a 5min walk away, so we shouldn't have issues with parking.
It is a hilly/rocky environment, so good footwear is recommended.
WHEN IS IT?
Sunday 29th May at 10am. There is no "end" time, it's a public place, you can stay as long as you like! 🙂 We hope to be there for a few hours.PLEASE NOTE
- Please be mindful of other people, this is a popular area for walkers and dogs
- Bring some grub and drinks, there are no stores or toilets here. The nearest town of Haworth is 5min drive away and is lovely, plenty of stores/cafes if you want to pop out for lunch.
- Leave the place as you found it, be respectful
- Lets relax and enjoy ourselves! 😄
Cheers.

You are right @Gaz!, I did think briefly CR01's were a weird choice.

That is true but all the Mini-Z 4x4 chassis are like that. The real Defender won't attempt to drive over 1 metre high rocks but I'm guessing that the average RC crawler driver will attempt the 1:24 scale equivalent of that!
This makes sense to me!

Ooooh thats bit to rich for my blood. My Mrs has a 1986 Defender 90, was gonna get one of these as a present for her 30th in June, as a sorta mini pressie. Maybe not
Yeah MiniZ have never been cheap, they are so popular in Japan and I think they would be here too and also collectable if they weren't so expensive.
