    we could find a few dry spots at the Hoover /"White City Ponds"...there's some open area and some decent jumps there too.It is out off of HWY 140, (about an 1/8th of a mile, after turning off of HWY 62, by the power lines, on the Right.

    Sounds good to me.  I have driven by that area but never had a chance to run RC.

    I got to meet Means2k and GPNate,a couple of very cool fellows, from the Grants Pass Region.We bashed the Hoover Ponds until about 4:30pm.There are some pretty cool transitions there (along w/ rocks).The ground was dry, for the most part , aside frome the year 'round puddles...glad we got that in before the rain! ------I got to see a Brushless Max SC8,a Brushless E REVO (awesome), a Associated RTR Brushless Buggy, and a Axial 10...another great day=thanks, Sean

    Great fun with pile of toys and means2k at white city ponds.  The slash 4x4 was very impressive.  I broke the e-revo again.....  :mad:.  I will post pics but looks like a rear bulkhead, rear body mount, entire chassis will need to be replaced.  The sad part is I wasn't even jumping.  I can only figure the chassis was weak from previous bashing sessions.  I looked into maybe upgrading the chassis to aluminum or carbon fiber but there isnt much on the market so grabbed the factory parts from sleadds and started the rigors of tearing it down yesterday.  I will investing in another basher soon as I'm finding the e-revo expensive to fix and easy to break.  I just picked up a losi ten t so I may look at going brushless with it.  Not sure yet....  Either way, there will be more bashing in my future.  Cheers

    Dude make the ten t electric ASAP,sell all the nitro stuff while its still new.

    The ten t brushless was by far the funnest 1/10 basher I had,that was mine in Sleadds.

    It takes a beating and jumps straighter and further than anything else its size.

    My friend bazen feels it makes you a better driver when driving it.

    Also the first motor I'll be getting won't be here til next week as Chris bartolone is still building it.

    The guys over in the UK at bzm are waiting for their prototype pipe to be finished then they're gonna ship and god know when that's gonna be here.

    Let me know when you're heading over there.  If I don't have anything running I'd like to come and watch.
