At the gtg's fender benders don't and should not just happen. If you have problems such as glitching take it to the pit it is not going to fix its self. If you are a first time driver stay out of the city and go to a corner of the room and practice before you join the others driving in the city.

I take pride in what I have built and take care of it as well. Some of these guys have bought there trucks RTR and have no idea of what it takes to build a custom truck.

Here are just a couple of suggestions for common courtesy.

Don’t follow right behind another truck going up a ramp if he doesn’t make it and backs up or slides back unexpectedly you will have no reason to complain that he hit you .

This one is dedicated to the bridge.
If a truck is dumping on the bridge (for those of you without a dump truck or trailer that is what the grate in the bridge is for) don’t try to squeeze by and have a possibility of hitting the dumper and possibly tipping it over. Don’t ***** because the dumpers have the bridge blocked do a lap around the city and come back when they are done.

Loading pit let the person who is getting loaded finish before you pull in the way of the loader or the truck being loaded.

Speeding around the city also pertains to other rc vehicles as well as semi’s, just don’t do it if you have no control of your fingers and can’t help but using full throttle every time you pick up a radio then put it away and be a spectator.

Finally go to a gtg have fun, meet some nice people and use some common since.

Ya that one there is also common sense, for I have involved with actual pit activity too, and have seen this done the wrong way. It get annoying and dangerous!

Don't let me load anybody unless you want your sideboards dented or knocked off and dirt poured on your cab Ask SmallHaul That may have fixed it's self with the new radio though
:Beware: The night shift operators at our pit drive impaired and don't need no stinking lights

Aside from that, as far as age, I taught my kid when he was 4 to operate his minidozer and I caught alot of static at other shows we went to from the officials but he always proved to be a very responsible driver.

I went to a State Equipment (IH/Dresser Dealer ) equipment demo I got on a TD25 and started grading .that went fine till some elder zaelot complained that a "kid" was running a piece of equipment ( better then he ). Well when I got to get on the 200 loader ( Dressers only rear eng track loader) they said no your to young so I still didn't get on one , so I settled for a 953 and a 963 no biggy I'll take a blade or an excavator any day . I was operating equip. before I could drive started @ 5 on a 350 deer john need to bring home an fix for the next day every night loader

Looks like you guys need to hire a couple of Diesel Bears, to straighten this problem out.
