NEW Indy show 2018

[frizzen]

New yearly Lebanon rc show replacing Toy truck and contractor Indy show.

Cross posting from here:
http://www.rctruckandconstruction.com/showthread.php?t=12620

Ok, so we lost out with the grant for this year.

But we have a building. It's big enough, about same size as what we had at the back to fifties show. Which oddly enough was more space by sqft then we had at Indy.

The mini pullers will not join us in January. It's too early for their "Runoff & test it before the season" timeline.

Cost - $20 per adult driver (over 16) for the weekend.

Our room cost is $785 for the weekend. If we have fewer than 40 drivers then I will cover the difference and next year's will cover me.
Travis is looking into a raffle for a prize that could offset a desparity.
If we have more than 40 drivers then we will start a kitty for supplies, like duct tape, with the collected money.

Set up is January 19th
We are all out by early evening of the 21st.

If we have a good turnout, then we will get a bigger space next year. But the room cost goes up as well. So iff we get the word out and increase drivers then the per drive would go down. So talk to your buddies, and get more there.

I expect to keep the date the same if at all possible - (3rd weekend of January) but this is not totally in our control.


I had explained previously why I was so firm with the toy show people. I want and expect to get to a point where we have assistance from either the Tourist board or from a seller to assist with room cost. But at this time we must cover our own cost.
For those who like to have an audience (spectators), I implore you to bring friends and family.

--

We are in the Ausitorium. One of the older buildings.

I did not arrange Dirt for this year. Hoping to for next year, and larger space if turnout is good.

[fhhhstix]

Is anybody planning to be there?

[TRUCKMAKER]

From the sounds of things on Facebook there should be a decent turn out. That being said, I won’t be making it. Having Christmas with my daughter and celebrating 2 birthdays. Hope you guys have fun and a good turn out!

[Lmackattack]

I will be there ... there are 3? threads on this so I cant keep up with what one is the main thread.

I will suggest again that these big show/meet threads should be a sticky on the main page for simple navigation and promoting of the shows. Seams cabin and the indy shows are the ones everyone trys to make.

Thoughts?


Trent

[frizzen]

The one i linked was the main thread, thought a simpler overview thread in Midwest Meet section might be easier for people to find than sifting through 4 pages of the one in General.

I've been trying to cross post it to some other rc sites.

Should be a good turn out. You'll be kicking yourself if you don't go...

[FabOne]

I, myself will be showing up mid-day Friday, the 19th. Alex (DieselKid) and Lil Cooper (Lowboy) will be coming in late Friday.

See you all!

Terry

[Zabco]

Since I couldn't make the Cabin Fever show last weekend, I will be coming to this one. Will be there Friday afternoon or first thing Saturday.

[Fury Fan]

I am hoping to be there. I'm a newb here with zero presence, mostly due to not yet knowing how to post pics and avoid the 3rd-party issues. Don't wanna post stuff and then people find out they can't see it.

1. Hoping to meet some of my IN brothers.
2. Hoping to drum up a little side business on my CNC router down the road, I've decided 2018 is the year to try and make some extra $$. So I'll be bringing a few of my homebuilt pieces as samples.

[sparkycuda]

See you Friday, noonish. Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!

Ken

[frizzen]

Fury, go start a build thread and get a photo host, i'll walk you through it.
Everyone was new once, just stick around and you'll "blend in with the cobwebs" in no time.

I'm hoping to be there some each day, but that depends on the start/stop hours.

[Goodison]

Heading down, be there around noon Friday, see all soon


Bart,

[jjackso5]

Izzy and company, I'm having some added health concerns, hoping I can get down tomorrow, at least for the day. I will try. I'm looking forward to being able to join in the fun again, just have to get past a few health concerns.

I hope everyone has a great time, and please post pictures and video's.

Thank you, happy trucking to all,

Jim

[Izzy]

I posted a vid over at Facebook page. Sorry but easier to post.
Come on over, weathers awesome. We have plenty of play area.

Looks like you had a nice turnout. Also looks like Reg's dump trailer sales are up! Would like to see more of the white Mack and the blue KW in this photo if anybody has more pics.

What's the story with the CaseIH Magnum?
https://i.imgur.com/xnKQCGTh.jpg

[frizzen]

Yeah, those Type 2 VWs still have some stigma... hopefully Mustang can get better and more stable servos in the cracker so we don't have to do so much hand-rigging.

LilGiants, i hope you enjoy these even a fraction of how much i like seeing your 'Lil Big Dig'! Hopefully it can work out that you can make it down to a meet sometime.

Huge thanks to everyone involved it the show!

I didn't get the chance to see this forklift run, but i'm interested to know how it performed. I think you said it was the 1/10 TopRace.

I was busy looking for my ticket when it was called, who won the truck?

[Lmackattack]

Had a great time running trucks over the weekend. its been a few years and glad to be able to get out and see everyone...

[Lil Giants]

More great pics, thanx guys for your efforts :cool:

The few shows I've been to I get too enthralled with all the activity going on & usually forget all about taking pics :o again, thanx for posting :)

Frizzen, given this show is a week after Cabin Fever, it would make a great holiday round trip... maybe I c u & the gang in 2020 ...hopefully it's a mild January

Is the beaver tail fully functional from the radio?

[skeeter]

Although I thought the old Mack's were rough riding, & driver comfort was secondary compared to other manufacturers, I LOVE this truck. I have to admit I've been more places WITHOUT breaking &/or getting stuck in an old Mack then I have in any of other trucks I've operated.

[Izzy]

A big thank to the guys who showed early, and stayed late to set up. Clean up was Excellent.
As usual, couldn't do thus without Travis, if not for him, we wouldn't have 3/4 of the set up.
Thank you to all for playing nice, no harsh words and no inappropriate conduct.
Huge cudos to Truescale-rc.com for coming to offer parts, run the pulls and sponsor-in-part the show - THANK YOU!
Thank you to the fairgrounds for a wonderful site!
And thanks to all The drivers for coming out for another successful & fun show.

Thanks I have my friend next door with a machine shop that is milling me one out of aluminum. I will try and get some pics put up.

[Fury Fan]

As a newb here and first-timer to such a show, it was a good experience.

Talked with Frizzen, Izzy and Mustang46555 - all good gents! (talked with some others but didn't get names)

Would've probably made the rounds a bit more thoroughly, but had a young 'un with me - she had a ball too but only wanted to drive around, didn't want the chit-chat.

A coworker joined me, and he was really impressed with the detail and creativity you guy have.

So - probably will try to make the next local show, probably will start some build threads if this Postimage link works. Probably will have something better next year - and probably will be Bruder-based, 'cuz my money is spread too thin on too many things already.

Oh - and finally found my avenue for photos - Postimg.org.

That's a nice looking truck, am i seeing some Bruder/on-road car action going on?

Nothing wrong with toy conversions, it just takes more creativity than something with a manual and designed to bolt together. Your truck looked plenty nice to me, but ya saw the rusty junk I drive.

It was great meeting you, and thanks for playing trucks with us.

[SpeedyPetey]

Just a great time! Awesome pics and Jess has made some great videos. Cant wait til Septembers show! Thank you Izzy and all the others for putting this one!!!

[Fury Fan]

That's a nice looking truck, am i seeing some Bruder/on-road car action going on?

Thanks!

Yes, a Bruder with Tamiya wheels, Subaru Brat in rear, Frog/Hornet in front. 'Standard' ebay steer axle up front (hard-mounted) and a 540 motor running an XL-sized belt-drive. No suspension at all.

The Brat wheels were a last-minute change - I had the orig Bruders spliced with a 5mm shaft adapter, but it kept loosening up (and those wheels had limited traction).

So I got a regular 5mm shaft swapped in, and was going to use knobby Frog rear wheels, but those have 5 bolts, and the shaft hub adapters had 4 holes, so would need another adapter in-between. The Brats have 5 dimples on the inside of the wheel (Tamiya did that so they'd interchange with Frog/Hornet/Grasshopper parts), so I removed them, and then just enlarged the holes to fit the adapter.

Took forever to figure it out, but was pretty simple when I stumbled on the idea. I'll do a thread on the whole thing at some point.

Quan, I enjoyed talking with you and Will. Always great to meet folks new to me. Hope to get to Indy soon and will try to drop by the hobby shop to visit you.
"y'all the only brother's I got", from "Glory"? It's a favorite movie of mine.

Take care.

Well if nothing else going through this thread and enjoying the pics led to me finally finding out we have a Facebook group! Just joined, maybe I'll be able to keep up better now with what's going on.
