New guy from NYC
 

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and I found you all through a video I watched on YouTube. There are tons of great builds here and a lot of info to absorb. My background in RC comes from the 1/10 crawler side and I have way too many of those. I've been wanting to get involved with the construction side of the hobby but the equipment can be super expensive. Right now my fleet consists of a D5 built by small haul and a king hauler with a flat bed. I'm in the process of converting a tonka dump truck and front loader to RC and I'm waiting on delivery of a dump trailer for the king hauler to pull around.

Hello from Staten Island Welcome to the forum

Re: New guy from NYC
 

Do you guys ever get together to move dirt around?

Re: New guy from NYC
 

Lol.. I move dirt all day every day..
A few of us get together on the weekends
Out on the island. Where are you near?

Re: New guy from NYC
 

Lol me too, I work in heavy construction. I live in Queens but I don't mind traveling. I travel to Westchester to run my scale crawlers because it's worth it. I have a nice sand pile at work and time to mess around but the sand it a little too course and is messing the tracks of my d5, I already had to remove a link.
So it's back to my 3x5' dirt hole in my back yard. Lol

I'm happy to hear another new Yorker has joined the forum. let us know what date is good for you to meet up and run the trucks and equipment. I'm on long island also. watch this video. https://youtu.be/o2sVAEKd-Io

Re: New guy from NYC
 

I actually found this forum through the link in one of your videos.
I have a new baby so I'm never really free but I can make time to meet up. Where on the island do you guys get together? Do you have a Facebook group that you post local info on? That's how I communicate with the crawler guys.

Re: New guy from NYC
 

LoL thanks for watching my vids. BigFord and I meet up anywhere we don't have any place special. I also contacted cummingsman29 about meeting up also. Any one of us can set a date and time and post it on the forum, weekends are best. Some of us do have Facebook accounts. some of us also crawl, I sport a axial scx10. If you want to meet up with the guys set a date and time and post it. Who can make it will let you know. Oh by the way that user name you have don't sound to friendly. LMAO

The username was a nickname given to me in college and I used it on a few jeep and RC forums, I just keep it consistent so people can reference my good feedback across forums if need be.

Re: New guy from NYC
 

Sounds good to me!! Ive gots to stop by bigford this weekend so I'm going to talk up where we should meet up.

Re: New guy from NYC
 

Cool! If you feel like traveling to Westchester for some good crawling with your scx10 check out "Westchester Unpaved" and "NY R/C Cralwers" good bunch of guys, nice builds and usually some sort of meet every weekend

Re: New guy from NYC
 

My lady and I would love it, we like going hiking up in the mountans and we take our axials with us. I may have to make that trip soon because she's 5 months under construction and Sarah is do to be born in November.

Re: New guy from NYC
 

Awesome! I have a 6mth old and I just picked "him" up 6 tonka trucks, two of which I'm converting to RC, the loader and dump truck.
One guy brings his wife sometimes and another guy brings his two little girls. Hit me up on Facebook "Chris Maurer" (profile pic is my son reaching for the camera) if you want to get in those groups and have any trouble. They are private but if you request you'll get in, just say you heard about them through me.

Re: New guy from NYC
 

COOL let bigford know as well hes got a bruser hes been wanting to run.

Re: New guy from NYC
 

Sounds good to me!

Re: New guy from NYC
 

If you guys run in the island and I have a date and time I'm in for sure!
