2013 Kansas Show Pics

[rockNmayhem]

Well we had a pretty good weekend at the truck shows. I believe we had a decent turn out for the first show around this area. We had a lot of spectators saturday afternoon while we were running at the antique truck show and lots of interest in the hobby. I really hope we get some new members out of the whole deal.

Anyway I'll let the few pictures I grab do some of the talking. There will be more uploaded later as I know that Aaron took quite a few pics and I'll get the pictures off the girlfriends camera to upload later.

Here are a few of the area I snapped with my phone today of some of the aftermath and a few from the show yesterday.

Some of the setup area starting.



Our progress from this weekend of play.









Bob's show queen actually attempted to try and become a working truck.



A quick shot of the area we were working in to show the size.



And of course we had to have a little fun last night with a truck "PUSH" off with Aaron's blue dump vs. my red Clifford just to see what happened. Needless to say there was no lack of power on either end of the totem pole but in the end I had no problem holding his blue dump off and even holding the yellow and white Kenworth off either.

Until last night I had also never seen a Tamiya truck leave burning rubber marks but Aaron was the first in my books to do it.

Here are the aftermath shots of the challenge.





And here's half of Aaron's tires left on the floor.



Also this morning one of the local guys that has is own excavating company picked up a new Bruder Cat excavator at the show so now I know of someone else who will have something to tinker with. Cant wait to get it and the loader running in unison so we can load up the new dump trailer.



Thanks to all the guys that came. We had a pretty good turn out and I'm positive this will not be the one and only time we do this show.

To everyone else that couldn't make it, you missed out on a pretty good time and hope you can make it to next years show as I know we will have plenty of more equipment and guys.

I like that lil red IH in the background

[RCP57]

I like the 67 Camaro.....


Looks like a great place to play! You get bored with the RC's you could do a huge heater with one of the real vehicles and fill the place with smoke!

Steve you and Lenny the owner of all the amazing International toys that are scattered around his house and shop. He is a major International fan and has about 50-60 different trucks, cars, semi's and even an old international suburban in pristine condition.

You will definitely have to come up next year and see all of his toys. As Bob put it, we got to play in a "millionairs toy house" this weekend.

Man this looked like a lot of fun! And it was in my hometown backyard! Wish I could have made it, but bills come first. But p-lease keep the pics coming.

[dabears]

Haha where's the video? I have a decent run! The ground proves it, that and i'm not afraid to really test my trucks out lol it was a great time! I'll post pics tomorrow still on the way home.. Thank you everyone for a fun time! I was very happy on how my trucks preformed! And a little hint for pics I'll post later is rule of thumb LOCK your axles before driving in the dirt with a full dump trailer! And a Silverado can't pull you off the embankment....... Hahahaha

[Stuff]

nothing like doing a burnout and watching that rear axle start to do the hop hop hop!! good thing these trucks have solid plastic to hold the axles! my Axial SCX10 started to bend the 4 links...

[dabears]

Here are some of the videos I Got , mostly of my trucks but its hard to drive and record others at the same time lol

This weekend was alot of fun but the 13hr drive was the worst part each way but all in all the weekend was a blast and we had a good turn out and would like to thank the folks from the ATHS for inviting us out this weekend and putting us up in 2 great locations to run our equipment...

[dabears]

OK since PB is currently working I can post some pics of the weekend.
Here is what Bob and I Brought down to the show


The start of our dirt pile



Woodhogs boy loading his dump


Chris (woodhog) working the excavator (and Bob taking a rest lmao)









At the truck show

[dabears]

PICS Cont
















Heres what happens when you use a truck without locked rear ends in dirt and you cant turn either...

[dabears]

Here is what we accomplished for only having 1 excavator and a loader, and a few dump trucks. Would have been nice to have a few more pieces of equipment there like a dozer or more loaders, a scraper etc... but we made do and still had a blast. Got to run my dumps quite a bit and was very happy with how they did! Poor JD's truck was floating in water Thursday morning before he left for the show but luckily we had enough spare parts laying around at the show to get him back up and running!! Thank you Tyler and everyone who showed up for the good time this weekend!!









The rest of the shows pictures can be found on my photobucket site here http://s19.photobucket.com/user/firepisser8104/profile/

Aaron those are some great pictures. The only thing missing is our truck pushing contest, didn't you get a video of that too? I know Aerielle has one that I'll have to get from her.

Tyler

Nope I was too busy trying to push your truck around she's the only one who recorded it

[YoungGunz]

I had a great time even though the weather wasn't ideal, but that's just minor. Didnt get to take any pictures since my camera died..... although i hooked up my SMX tonight and I just need to replace the potentiometer and all should be good. So now I can say my truck has survived a flood

I wanted to thank Tyler for having the show and for all his hard work and for everyone else that helped me get my truck in working order after the flood ordeal. I dont know what I would have done with out you guys! Really had a great time and looks like this show will be on the the calender from now on

Thanks for posting up the pics guys! I have a brother that can get awfully picture hungry

[BRICKNICK]

Wow there was a nice turn out. Some nice looking tractors there I've never seen before.

[rockNmayhem]

Time for a few more pics I got from the gf today. I finally got around to get them uploaded and to show off some of the equipment and trucks this weekend.















Here is the debut of the girlfriend Aerielle's new truck that she built and I painted up to surprise her with this weekend.







Jordyn was loving running Aerielle's new truck this weekend.



She even had her own load she was hauling around.



Tyler

[rockNmayhem]

Here are a few more shots of the machines from this weekend.











Liam was also very intent on running his trucks around all weekend.





And J.D's truck survived the flood and worked great to haul and dump saturday after we spent several hours drying it all out and getting him up and running.





Thanks for looking guys and that is all I have at the moment. I hope to get the videos uploaded sometime soon so everyone can have a good laugh.

[rockNmayhem]

A few more pictures I have of the loader filling Aaron's truck.















Ok that's really all I have I think.

Tyler
