Rubbers fine, guess I’ll have to search that building, probably seen it just don’t remember the name.

This might determine if I need a room or not but what are the building's temperature like there? Is it still cool or warm enough were we will be playing all day?

The temperature is 1 below this morning right now and it made me think about it.

I will ask about this. I would expect a hood would be good indoors. But I certainly don't want our fingers going numb wrenching on the bench.

I couldn't find anything about an Ausitorium building, the fairground site said a JobFair and us are at Farm Bureau?

Does anybody going happen to have any tamiya Semi axles they don't need? I'm trying to find a front, a rear doesn't need a passthrough, with some rims/tires, maybe spirngs. (I'm trying to start a LaFrance truck)

Farm Bureau is the sponsor who built the auditorium.

From Google maps the farm bureau building looks to have 2 sections.

Looks to be a NICE looking facility Izzy! Did you say we can get in Friday, the 19th to set-up? And if so, how early?

I've decided to make it there regardless of how far completed the truck is (or how cold it is) even though I don't have all the parts I originally wanted on it. It'll be ready next time AND I think I'm also going to get a Tamiya semi kit too to have to work on the side. Maybe it will be ready this Spring. I like the beer delivery trucks I've be seeing on some older videos of downtown Indy... won't be much but it'll be a truck.

I do need to get out and mingle (especially in my own state) because it's been almost 5 years since my last tank meet in Danville and that's a 13 hour drive one way. I'm not crazy about tank battles (so that won't be missed) but more into seeing and learning plus just driving around.

It's a CROSS 6WD but not built to be a rock climber or thrasher... it will be a scale driver when it's finished.

An eBayer in China kinda dropped the ball on these wheels (plus some other important items) I wanted for this certain look but I can squeeze by I think. I found a more reputable dealer in the U.K. I can depend on who has all I need so, parts are ordered but not in time. I might bring a few more things just to have extras to play with that day but after the cold we've had here the past few days I need to get out of Dodge and meet some like minded people here in RC.

From the looks of all the videos I know I'll spend more time drooling than actually driving so I am psyched for sure!
