Hi guys, Is there any Rc Rock Crawling going on in Brisbane? am looking at getting into it, but don't want to if there isn't any competition.

Cheers, Brad.

There are about 6 guys up there with good capable trucks... they just need a rocket up the proverbial to get back out and enjoy themselves.

Have a search on here for "Brisbane" in the "Radio Control Tech" forum and you will find all the guys.

Shoot them all a PM and get the ball rolling.

hey 80lsy can you put up some pics on how you relocated the battery if you have any that is and have you guys done anything to improve travel and does rear wheel steer make much of a difference or is it harder to drive

Hi Guys thinking of getting into to it as well TOTALY novice at this and would like to see some in action before I jump in.

Only interested in SLOW rock climbing found a great place here in Caloundra to play.

ORCRC (forum)
RCCRAWLER (online store0
SCALE4x4RC (forum)

type all these into google and check them out go to the forums there are heaps of rigs to check out and the rc cralwer one is a site dedicated to crawlers and buying parts. its all american but those yanks are crazy about them, wether it is scale or hectic crawlers.

Benno at www.tinytuffstuff.com is probably the best to go to to get all your crawling needs. He is in Melbourne.

There are a few shops here in Brisbane thathave the Axial AX10 and the CR-01 Cruiser, but mostof them have no idea what a Rock crawler is.

Head on over to www.thecrawlpit.com, that's where crawlers hang out.

Where abouts in Caloundra did you find the spot. We may be able to organize a day up there and you can have a look at what we run.

Cheers, Brad.
