im in for sure. I missed Indy (again) and I really wanted to go. been waiting for this fall meet the day after I left your first spring meet.

Guys this is a great event if you missed the first one. Everything is awesome the Location, hanger, out door play area, hotel, train museum, R/C air planes!!.... Its a great time for all.

I think the out side area is the highlight of our R/C trucking. The indoor is nice for foul weather but the out side is where the fun is at. (just my .02)

I do think we could do a few things different to make sure everyone can enjoy the out side area. We could improve the road from the Hanger side walk to the pile to allow the on road guys to get out side into the action. Improve the ring road and make a flat parking area for the on road guys /Low boys so they don't get stuck every 5' trying to get to the action.

Mixing some dirt or clay into the sand will help with traction and keeping the main roads smooth and Yes if you want to have fun in the off road area lock in those axels! its easy,free and you can always go back to open diffs. Your trucks will not make it far in the dirt with open diffs. even with one locked diff it will likely get stuck quick. don't get me started on some of the low bumpers I see LOL!!!

The sand pile was great for digging in and I would like to maybe layout a few specific areas that have a job so to speak. Watching the you tube vids of the people in Europe I see that they often have tasks that they operate around.

For example we can make an area where a road is being built to reach another road. trucks and machines can work to build that. (started this at the last show but the road went no where, it was fun and challenging)

maybe have a spot where trucks can dump over a wall where loaders are down below. this will keep the material flowing for people running machines.(we did this the last morning and it was working pretty good)


have a spot where an over pass is being built and make ramps leading up to each side of the bridge.(seen this on you tube where trucks brought in dirt and the machines made the ramps.)


At the end of the last event we started to use wood for roads that had a incline. this helped with traction and got the dump trucks up on top of the piles where they could work from. I think we can again use this or carpet strips to help with traction in spots where we need it.


those are some of the things I can think of that may make this event great.

I would be willing to come down one weekend sometime before the meet and spend a day helping set up the area.
