Money? What's that haha. I know I spent so much when I was into scale truck and crawlers. But it's money well spent when it's something you really enjoy.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Think scale city 1600sqft and about 120 trucks stuffed in it. Oh and typically more trailers than trucks.

We use roadways that are close to scale width - so no high speed rolling when others are near. Don't drive if you don't have eyes on the truck ( blind corners are always trouble spots).

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

It's also preferred to drive your truck from a distance, not like walking a dog, following every inch. Brush up on skills folks. There are a lot of very nice trucks on site (not mine) your not going to want to have a run in with.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

I'll just set my chair on the road way all day and sit in it :p:D

some of us have eyes goin bad you know :cop:

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

I have been following this board for a few years now, but due to many factors working against me I still have yet to build a model. Actually, I have never even seen one of these in person. I am hoping to make it up for the day on Saturday, and was wondering what level of participation I would be able to have not having a model of my own. I would love to be able to take a close look at the trucks and equipment and admire all of the builds I have been following on these forums. Plus It would be really nice to put some faces with names.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

While you need a pit pass to drive. There's nothing you need to hang around and ask us questions.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Great, Thanks. I plan to purchase a pit pass as contributing to this event can only help it continue to happen in the future.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Seems we are getting a lot of new folks for Indy. Should we consider having name tags available to make name/face ID easier? Would some feel odd wearing tags? Many are good friends and been around quite a while and others are just getting started. Any comments? Ken

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Yes, flight check, car rental check, hotel check, I set my flight back late afternoon on Sunday to help. I be there Thursday late, travel box this year smaller but can take two truck and small garage. I will try to take my truck wash. Name tag is good idea and don't forget the yellow strip to keep public out driving area.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

I wouldn't have a problem with it, I'm sure there were a lot of people there last year who I've talked with on the forum but didn't at the show because I didn't know who they were.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Ok, I will like to know if r going to be a truck pulling event, to know which is my 2 do trk.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

I don't think Izzy will have time to put the new sled together before Indy. He has sold the other one and working on a new one.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

We have the rubber for Indy and we will have extra that we will offer for sale at the show. If you are interested in getting some PM me. We have ten 18 gal tubs we are considering extra and if more than that is wanted we could sell off one of the larger containers. You have to come to the show to get this we will not ship it as we are not doing this as a business. We will be using the money to offset some of our out of pocket cost to do the show and get more items for our display that we will take to Indy and possibly others that want to have an indoor show.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Well 5 days, i clean my table and tool box i have some parts for sale, can i take it to sale over? i will post pics if positive thnks.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Yes everybody bring your extra stuff. This is a great opportunity to trade parts and sell items you no longer want with no packaging or shipping.




Everybody we have a the rubber, carpet, a bridge, and some loading docks. I encourage people to bring what building and other items they can fit in and bring with them.


Over time we hope to get scenery and buildings and have a whole city set up in the trailer that we can take to shows.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Looks like a lot of rubber and my cat345 is down,:mad:

He will stay at home.

See you there

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

What type of rubber are you using? Where are you getting it? How fine is it? I am looking to get +/- 100 gal or so for our show in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

They go by screen size. But aprox. 1/16 to 1/8 pieces.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

if all goes well and I don't work to late Friday, I planning on coming down Friday Night and leaving sat later afternoon. I have not even touched any of my trucks after we had the event in Central IL this spring. Hope to make it!

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Well i am actually coming down this year and will have a Suburban full of stuff I am selling out of trucks parts you name it.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

What room# will you be set up in?

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Not setting up in a room might have one of my other friends put some stuff out in the ball room for me but will have most in car and regular room but will see how it goes. Hopefully will have a chance to run one or 2 of my trucks too.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

Looks like the cat345 is out of the shop, the controller is back, ya.:bounce: Wedico delivered today via the brown delivery trucks. Great job, shiped on Friday last week. Will testing on Tuesday and when function properly he ended up in the case and travel with me to the show.Ya:D:D:D

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

I am all loaded up and ready with some new toys for this year as well.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
 

well I had the car loaded with all my trucks and stuff ready to leave work around noon if work went as planned. Then at 11am I got a call to move a machine from Joliet heading 40 miles west of Rockford. I dident get back to the yard untill 6pm. I mistakenly made plans with the wife for later tonight so it was going to be 7 hours total of driving for 6 hours of RC trucking.... Looks like I will try again for next year.


make sure you guys get some good pics and vids of the action.

Re: Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24
