the guys doing the comps are a few guys i met through rccrawler.com. the comps are gonna be at the hobby shop in salem i believe. ill let ya know as soon as i know more info about whats gonna happen. nothing is set in stone yet as far a a schedule or anything.


id love to build a scorpion in the spring to have a truck to run in the 2.2 class. trying to save money for one right now.

;each, you need to get a crawler put together and lets get together one of these days. ill olny be on with roanoke city bout 2-3 days a week in the spring, so plenty of time to play with the RC.
