Who's up for a scale trail meet at Thurstaston Common on Saturday. Basically take your highlift, XC, CR01, Axial scaler, scratch built scale truck etc for a walk. I have run there and its a good place to test out your truck.

Hi Fella

Do you have a map for thurstaston common ?

Hi biggus any chance of a new date for a scale trail drive like the idea lots also it would be nice to go out and not freeze solid

[BiggusDitchus]

Not sure just yet will sort a date out later. Did you get a driveshaft sorted for your Willy?

[Ade the Blade]

Thanks got the wilf sorted new problem now the servo saver on the hilux snaped i had a spare one with me but not sure of it s history but it turned out no good any ideas welcome

[BiggusDitchus]

OK, I have checked and double checked my rota and 11th April is the next available day I have (yes its a Saturday) So a scale trail day at Thurstaston Common, whos up for it?

Oh and I think the end of April should be booked for the first Ainsdale meet of the year... all agree?

[BiggusDitchus]

Ok, Roop(Wireless) has been in touch with me and he is coming back from Geneva for the Easter Weekend and wants to have a meet with us and Volksrod, Twisty, Wild Willy, Zakspeed etc. Now Im sure many of you have seen Mooseys vids so you will realise they are always up for a load of fun.

Not sure exactly where the meet is but it will be arranged closer to date (wont be too far), now this meet will be scale crawlers maybe a few vintage cars, but certainly nothing fast(sorry to those guys I do hope you will turn up though) mainly due to the location but also the vintage nature of the cars that will be being run

Please lets as many of us that can turn up.. we can arrange a car share for getting there to keep costs down for those travelling from likes of wirral.

It is looking like mostly a trail meet, so the potential for a BIG fun meet.

I just booked it off, I hope no one jumps on me as it's easter weekend ! My new 4 link xc should have arrived when I get home ! I will have to get a move on and get it ready I may finish the FAV and paint it up as well. Plus my new F150, I am looking forward to this one !

Have we settled on a location ? Roop was asking for a central one ? Thurstaston ? or wigan is very central with nice trail scenary. Looks like I will be car sharing with Roop.

I think Terry knows wigan best ? Any good for trail ? or should we stick to Thurstaston ?

[sgt.barnes]

Just spoken too Wireless & this place looks like RC paradise

LS25 6JU on google earth !

Can the others make the journey ?

[BiggusDitchus]

Looks good, and Leeds isnt that far.

Fingers crossed I should have the Junfac 4 Link kit for the Hilux by then.

[WILD WILLY]

A strange request but if anyone whos coming to the meet has a police car/truck could you bring it with you i'll explain on the day !

[tamiya monkey]

Hi everyone, i will keep an eye on the date and location and should be able to make it over, just checking that none of my cars are classed as fast which i doubt lol, stock slash, ta02 scale crawler, wheely king, blackfoot extreme and losi high roller.

[twisty]

Very sad to have to tell you all,the Leeds LS25 venue is not going to be a go-er.I`m Gutted.

Another venue is needed,please accept my utmost apologies.

[sgt.barnes]

Oh well

Back to Wigan 3 sisters, or does anyone have any other Ideas ? Thurstaston ?

[Wireless]

Thanks for trying to secure the location Simon, we knew it wasn't confirmed so don't beat yourself up over it.

Next up then. New location required. Somewhere around Manchester area...? Let's to get as central a point for us all as possible because Rich is heading over from the Wirral and Joe (Volksrod) is out towards Sheffield. I know stuff W.Yorkshire way as that's where I do most my bashing, but that's not really central.

By central, I mean equi-distant in travelling, not central Manchester...!

Thoughts..?

Cheers,

Roop

Chapel en le frith (Buxton) That was a top spot ! It is just south of stockport

Pretty central. Nice. What's there regards to spaces to run Mark...? (For those that haven't been before)

[sgt.barnes]

It's a crawler trail spot for sure! even my falcon struggled there so HIGH ground clearance required.

Best way to see is have a look at the video.

http://www.tamiyaclub.com/moviecomment.asp...27&uid=6167

Its got shollow streams and steep hills, gravel and grass. Everything really.

[BiggusDitchus]

Parking was interesting, i.e. not a lot of it really. Any other ideas? Oh and Im in Warrington not on the Wirral although there are a few Wirral members about.

[sgt.barnes]

Anyone know any good woodland spots ? Where's deleware Rich ?

[BiggusDitchus]

Delaware? In the US isnt it. I think the state of Maine but dont quote me on that.

Do you mean Delamere? , thats in cheshire fella. Long trek for some of Yorkshire lads.
