National Toy Truck 'N Construction Show - Aug. 21, 22 & 23, 2015

[TRUCKMAKER]

Are we there yet?:D:D:D


We need our candie fetish fix!:lol::lol:

[fhhhstix]

We are looking to have some events next year to show the crowd what the trucks can do and some late night activities for just the drivers.

#1 Jose's truck rodeo

#2 Truck pulling possibly 3 classes

Class 1=stock with only two performance upgrades 1=4:1 and 2=hardened pinions brushed motor and NiMh batteries
Class 2=Class 1 + brushless motors and LiPo batteries
Class 3=Run what you brung and hope you brung enough

Any class truck can move up but not down Class1=1/2/3 Class 2=2/3 Class 3=3

#3 Truck parade through the hotel hall ways

#4 light show after dark buy the fountain

#5 Show and shine truck show

#6 Maybe some drag racing (I have an idea for this if Izzy and I can make it happen)

#7 late night demo derby for me and Benny and anybody else who has some leftover parts to build a truck. I have been running the same truck for 5 years now and have only replaced 6 parts and 4 were cosmetic.


O ya we can play in the rubber too.

Travis

[Mustang46555]

[flatdeck]

I am going to do my best to be there I do not to miss another one.....



Wayne

[Actros4160]

Bernd

[Izzy]

Was asked a pertinent question today and thought I would post for everyone.

Q - is there a special room rate for the show.

A - if you stay at the fabulous Marion the answer is yes. And no joke it is a really classy hotel with all the frills.

If you stay next door at the Laquinta then no. No special rate. Clean and comfortable but no frills.

[Panther F]

Before I read too much into it this, I have a few questions about the event in 2015.

What "qualifies" as an RC vehicle? (I know, no 'tanks' but I have seen dozers so that is one interest of mine)

What or how much does it cost to participate? Is there a restriction on how many? Like if a guy brings his "qualified" entry can he bring 'other' RC toys as long as they don't fly... right?

And last but not least, is this a "beauty contest" or just an organized Fun-Run Event? :o




Jeff

[sneff]

I brought my Tamiya tank a few years back and no one had a problem with it. Willy and myself put on a great show for the crowd with my tank being un loaded off one of his trailers. The crowd loved it.

[ihbuilder]

willy an I briefly talked about doin a tank battle in the lay out next year . I thought it be cool :D ( now I need a tank :rolleyes:)

Sweet! It cant hurt to try new things like that:D

[doodlebug]

Hey Steve, you could build a monster tank like a T-28, with 4 tracks! http://panzerserra.blogspot.com/2012/11/t-28-supr-heavy-tank-dragon-135-part-01.html
Cheers, Neil.

[tc1cat]

No one has ever said NO to the tanks that I know of. That is what I showed up with for the first show that I attended as a participant. The only real exception is farm equipment. While we do have some there, the promoters of the show would prefer not to see any farm equipment on the layout. This is not a beauty contest by any means. Bring what you built or bought and have a blast!!

[FlyingBeagle]

Why no farm equipment??? Just curious.

[fhhhstix]

The title of the show says it best "Toy Truck and Construction show". While tanks have been there in the past they have also been the cause of problems in the past. Farm equipment and tanks are welcome at the show but are better suited as loads for the trucks.

To make this as clear as I can the promoter of this show has two different magazines and shows.

Toy Trucker and Toy Farmer magazine.

The National Toy Truck and Construction show, that show cases toy trucks and construction equipment….

So to fit military in make it a piece of military construction equipment.

The Lafayette farm toy show (held in INDY). That show cases farm equipment.

This is how the promoter wants it she wants farm and construction separated. We mix these as well as the military here on the forum and it works for us but the Indy show has another set of rules that we cannot change no matter how much we discuss it or bring it up that is just how it is.

[fhhhstix]

willy an I briefly talked about doin a tank battle in the lay out next year . I thought it be cool :D ( now I need a tank :rolleyes:)

Sweet! It cant hurt to try new things like that:D

Great idea sure can just in the hallway after show hours.

[Izzy]

As for Beauty contests go ..... I don't know too many that run from 8am to 3am , 3 days straight. The majority of time spent by our participants is jaw jacking about trucks, design ideas, and what's new around the show.


The promoter loves the big rigs -of any kind. Show trucks, work trucks, old and new. She is simply amazed at the construction equipment.

Not many know, but Ric had given her a semi to build herself. After 2 years she is nearly done but knows absolutely nothing about Rc stuff. But she thought the kit was really Kool and fun to build.

Okay, I certainly wouldn't want to be the source of any problems as I wasn't looking for an "in" or an exception, just a few questions for clarification.

IF I plan to attend or join you guys my tanks would be an addition and not the primary entrant vehicle.

But I would like to know how tanks were a problem... just for conversation that is. And if an exception is given or altered and there IS a tank exhibit to be planned let me know what is needed because Willy and Lynn both know me and I have both sides (Axis & Allied) to join in with to balance the show.

Jeff

Some of the stock tanks as you do know are very fast just like the trucks and were being driven around the city as if they were on road vehicles. They were running into stuff sliding down the inclines on the bridges and just flat out being an annoyance instead of a valuable part of the show.

A tank exhibit would be more of an afterhour’s thing just for the fun of it.

So I am gathering from all of the questions you going to attend the next Indy show which is great it will be a pleasure to meet you.

[Panther F]

So it was more like just some immature individuals fault than it being the vehicles that were in question?

Yes, if things work out I plan to attend and enter as well. I wanted to attend the past one this year but I lost track of time and it passed by me! LOL

Interesting story and thanks for sharing it.




Jeff

[fhhhstix]

Jeff

Yes you’re right but seeing the tanks running during the day is what got the promoters attention and wandered why at a truck and construction show we were not showing off trucks and construction equipment

THIS IS FOR EVERYBODY IT IS NOT DIRECTED AT ONE PERSONE.



Trucks and construction equipment.

Acceptable

This is a TOY TRUCK AND CONSTRUCTION SHOW.


I don't mean to be so blunt but we keep getting the why or what if or we use to, this should explain it if not I do not know what to tell you other than I give up as you just won't get it no mater how much we explain it even with pictures.

[1985 kenworth]

[Izzy]

Marriott East Indianapolis
Yes you can book a room at this hotel.

http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/inddt-indianapolis-marriott-east/

[Izzy]

Alright guys and gals. It's time to put in for the vacation days at work and schedule the hotel rooms. Indy is just a short 16 weeks away. Time yet for a chassis stretch, add some bling. Maybe a set of nice new rims.

Heck build a garage, weigh station or a couple houses.

Remember - we have more space this year.

[glorydays24]

Hey Chris did you mean 16 weeks away?:confused: If this is correct, does this mean the show is in June this year?

Thanks, Big John

[TRUCKMAKER]

That would put it about the same time as the Midwest Spring Show?!

[Izzy]

Guess your right closer to 16 weeks.

Heck enoug time to start a whole new truck!

[flatdeck]

I have my room booked.....



Wayne

[woodhog]

Got my room also:D can't wait:bounce:

[Exclusive RC]

This year will be sweet, especially since we have the bigger room. Travis and Izzy got some new things going for us too so it should be pretty sweet! I bought a trailer, so this year Ill def be bringing a lot more scenery and items to help bring the show to life :D:bounce:

[Izzy]

Wayne Chris Brian - good to hear.

Yes with the spectators only along the long side of the new more rectangular side, we should have plenty of space.

Hammer - they are incouraging us to run the halls more this year as well. So make sure to bring some bling.

[hammer]

I can't wait booked rooms already have new rig in works...Travis can I bring my daughter's pink barbie power wheels Benny has a nice power wheels Mack truck I am sure that would be cooler then the Barbie car but then again everyone knows I love pink......besides it would be faster then walking to the bar....

TONY

[TRUCKMAKER]

What are the show dates this year?

[woodhog]

[Lmackattack]

[JoseFL10-4]

Well we are about 3 month away , I just wonder if we can do the R/C truck Rodeo this year again.

[TRUCKMAKER]

I'm looking forward to it, since I messed up last year and didn't realize a trailer was provided. We can't let DieselKid walk off with it again :cop::lol::lol::lol::D

[fhhhstix]

Well we are about 3 month away , I just wonder if we can do the R/C truck Rodeo this year again.

Yes and let me know what you need and we will get you some supplies so you don't have to waste your space bringing stuff with you.

Travis

[JoseFL10-4]

Ok guys thanks, I will post later some rules for this year, Well so far I can say top 3 will receive award.

[The Wurst]

I am really looking forward to Indy this year. Last year I went to the show for the first time and Izzy and Diesel Kid were kind of enough to let me run a dozer and a truck. That was it. I was bit by the RC bug. This year I will be bringing my first build, a Globe Liner. Can't wait!!

[JoseFL10-4]

Nice Jose it'll be fun!

[Lmackattack]

Going to try and make it this year.

If I can make a suggestion....should we sticky this thread so it stays at the top? It took me 5 mins of searching to find this thread. Any new people that dont know about this event might be Intrested but won't see it unless it stays on page one.. Just thinking a major event might be good to be kept out where it's easily sceen.

Just my .02

Trent

[GjtBob]

Any military guys planning on attending or entering?

I know the tanks issue has been discussed, just wondering how many might be there?

"Any military guys planning on attending or entering?

Hi Jeff!
I'll be there for sure even though I've pretty much converted to all trucks now I do still have most of my tanks.

[Izzy]

All please hear and understand this.  We are guesrs at the Indy show. It is a die cast toy show. We are there representing a portion of our hobby that coincides with their hobby and focus. As the primary spoksman to our portion of the event planning, remember that this is a trucking and construction toy show.  Keep this in mind with your choices of models to bring.  As we are creating a small city and gravel pit theme overall, the root purpose is showcasing the theme.  Trains, plains, and other are loosely allowed but our focus is truck and constr. related.

We will not turn guys away who behave and work to our goal but we are not to sway the focus of the event.  We are guests and need to honor our host.

Buildings, various products as loads all add realism and is highly encouraged.  So team up with others to make this a good whole experience of mini trucking and construction equipment. If all you have is a tank or other non themed item team up with another Trucker to haul you here or there etc.

[FabOne]

Room is booked!

GREAT!! :bounce: I was going to check with 'D' just today to see if you had booked a room and now I won't have to.

Cooper (aka Lowboy) is counting his sleeps.

Thanks for the kind words as I am not one to rock the boat with an entry of a non-related themed RC vehicle. I respect that and those decisions but I was just asking if/who was planning on attending that I might know.

I still plan on attending to check things out as I just started walking about a month ago and feel pretty good. I've always loved this forum and wondered at all the marvelous projects I see on here.



Jeff

[Izzy]

Jeff - please understand that this was not in response to your post. But rather a simple reminder to all. Most of the shows we all participate in the promoter allows us free rain. At this show however they have stated in the past to keep with the theme. We are a big draw for them and that helps a bunch. They extend a good bit of good will on tables and such. We as a group have gotten into a good groove at the show so it's really a general statement to those who have never been and don't know what to expect.

BTW on that note.
we typically get a freebie day by being allowed to set up Thursday afternoon. I have yet to receive confirmation on this. But in general we run from set up till about 2am then start up again at 8am and follow this pattern till noon Sunday for tear down. That's a lot of play time so rest up the week before......

[Izzy]

A note to all, it was politely pointed out to me that the military isn't all about blowing stuff up. Until recently I never even heard of mounting a recovery boom on a tank chassis. Rather imaginitive group I must admit.

[Panther F]

Nope... we're good! :D

Hope to meet most of you guys soon! :cool:





Jeff

[Izzy]

Likewise, I hope to see a good number of new faces as well as some I dont often enough. :)

[CustomRCmodels]

[TRUCKMAKER]

Travis, that's great! Tell your dad thanks! I'm sure it'll get used. Looks like it would make a good railroad bridge between shows!

[tc1cat]

Another obstacle to drive thru, under, or around!! Looks like fun :D:D Definitely thank your dad!!

Brian

[fhhhstix]

Thanks guys, I had given my dad the lumber from a flat bed and he made himself a bridge and mentioned building one for the trucks so I went to town and got him some lumber before he changed his mind.:D

[126happy]

Man i so wish i could make it up there to indy!! Id love to see one of these shows and yalls builds!!

Is there one close to florida or in florida byy chance?

[Mustang46555]

Bridge looks great Travis! Your Dad did a great job. Is it tall enough for the guys with the really tall stacks?

[fhhhstix]

[Izzy]

Thanks guys, yep I am pretty proud of the changes. Going to mess with the tires next .......

[pigeonfarmboy]

Lots of work left to do to make stuff ready! See you guys in a WEEK!

[Kevlar]

Is there a limit on how many trucks one person can bring to Indy?

[TRUCKMAKER]

It depends on how many you cram into your 1:1 vehicle :lol::lol::D

[JoseFL10-4]

Yeeeeah 1 week, and I still building stuff here to take over.

[Kevlar]

I think I can cram 6 tractors and trailers in, but if I bring clothes, just room for 5!

[Panther F]

I think I can cram 6 tractors and trailers in, but if I bring clothes, just room for 5!


Just bring the clothes on your back or... I can make room in my truck for that 6th for ya! ;) :bounce:

Hope I can get to meet most of you guys.





Jeff

[Izzy]

As a general rule. Bring what you want. If we get crowded we ask those that brought a lot to pick a few up to make room for others.

[firefighter30]

Google toy trucker and contractor, you should find what your looking for there.

[Izzy]

The toy show has a fee to enter. The mini city is a part of the show but does not have a seperately fee for spectators. There is a driver fee for the mini city $25 for the entire weekend.

[rcashu]

Trickmaker & Izzy - thanks for the info.

[woodhog]

Benny, Tony, and I are currently in route.

[GlobelinerBrad]

I might make an appearance Friday as i'm picking up a new rig in Indy on friday. Not sure yet as i'm working six days a week now so playtime is very limited....

[The Wurst]

I wanted to take a moment to thank all involved to make the Indy 2015 a great success. I had a great time and am looking forward to next year. I will be posting pics soon!

Brian

[Izzy]

Thanks to all for a great show.
Rather minimal issues -always nice
Thanks to those who helped set up and those that tore down. Thanks to those who shared parts and helped others. Thanks to those who ventured into the general public and shared their love of trucks.

Thanks to all for making the trip. Sharing this hobby with others is a big plus for us all.

In all just 41 drivers this year. A bit larger space than last year. So next year's pit pass will remain the same 25 bucks for thurs evening through mid day Sunday.

Same space next year guys.

Travis, please thank your dad for the awesome bridge.
Chris, Liam and Jacks - thanks for bringing your big bridge and the buildings.
And a big thank you to Smiley for bringing cookies and brownies. They were great as always

[woodhog]

Thanks for all the ones who make this show go it is a lot of work but a lot of fun . The boys Liam,Jax and cooper had a blast glad to see the young ones driving and operating equipment:D. Also want to thank the show promoter for having us there :D A big thanks to Izzy,TRavis ,Jose for the extra activities we had a blast.

[TRUCKMAKER]

A big thanks to Izzy and Travis for another great show! Thanks to Jose for putting on a great rodeo!

If anyone took photos or video of the truck pull Saturday night please post them, I would like to see them from a different perspective, thanks!

Also what Izzy said!:

"Travis, please thank your dad for the awesome bridge.
Chris, Liam and Jacks - thanks for bringing your big bridge and the buildings.

[fhhhstix]

Your all welcome and I guess I am going to have to search for left over flatbed lumber now these bridges are all dad can think about.:D

[Actros4160]

Hello everyone,

I am late but here are my memories from the show which I like to share. A big thanks again on the once which have made it possible to have a great show like this.:) I am looking forward to next one and the bigger room was great.

[sneff]

Wow. Looked like a great show. Im hoping to make it next year.

[DieselKid]

Your all welcome and I guess I am going to have to search for left over flatbed lumber now these bridges are all dad can think about.:D

Let me know if the Kirklin area runs out of Oreos and I'll drop-ship some more in so the old man stays fueled up! LOL!:D

A belated thanks again for all you and Izzy and so many others do to make that show what it has become!

-Alex

[Izzy]

Hey all, just running thru the comments here and realized I didn't give a good thank you to benny. Tony and others for doing a great job on the roadway.

Also we took up some collections for the last minute supplies -so a really big thank you for those who helped cover expenses.

Please, for those who could attend. When you have a chance let your friends know how much fun you had so we can get more drivers for next year.

The rodeo and truck pulls could be moving into prime time activities rather than late night.

[FabOne]

Kudos to all of you, especially Izzy, Travis, Benny and Tony for ANOTHER GREAT weekend in Indy! I always look forward to seeing everybody and meeting the new guys (and gals). Alot of new faces coming in and that's good. Brian (The Wurst) and Cooper (Lowboy) had an awesome weekend. It was a "Christmas in August" for Cooper, along with his new driving buddies Liam and Jax.

THANKS again from the NW Ohio gang.

-Terry
