they are getting the farm ready for this years beat the creek crawler event, last years was a blast! they claim theres something special about this years event but havent given much more than that hint as to what it is.
theres 9 seperate trails each around 1-3 miles long, with a mousetrap style obstacle course set up in an old tobacco barn to test your skills and heart lol


i will update as i learn more, heres a few photos from the 2024 event to pique your interest

how many rigs is @majin gonna come home with this time 🤣

Looks like a good time
I'm bringing 12, hoping to return with an scx6 if i can find a good deal, not really looking for much more than that atm.... but thats 5 months away still muahahahaaaaaa
also gotta let vegeta get something new if he decides something strikes his fancy. gotta get my flatbed lined out, the base the axles lock into is broken and I'm struggling to replace them. i have the new leaf springs, but no way top put them on the trailer.... good times
It just fell apart
I think it was broken previously and was just held in place by the other 3 tabs instead

So let me see if I have this right...
12 cars plus (1) SX6 minus 5 months plus 3 tabs equals 16 new r/c's that you didn't even know you needed!!!
🤣

( will mainly use them for a fan. geez camping with a fan.. lookit mr fancy pants)
burning the fire pit clean tomorrow,
got 2 new tarps
some camping chairs, work table, canopy tent for shade, free oak staves from cooperage will take up a LOT of room, 2 coolers, 1 for food and 1 for drinks, box fan, backup box of 24 AA batteries for transmitters, d6 for charging the batteries between runs and shows. phone charge (forgot mine last year)
as far as food goes we just do cheddar worsts, ham sammies, but ith us having a portable cooler we may bring some stuff like lunchables or uncrustables as well,

so far the line up is goin to be the cen F450 hauling the 4 foot trailer, on the trailer the tow truck, Old Man, and Mojave bronco. while those trucks are not on trails and shows are going on the trailer will also transport our camping chairs to and from the site to the showfield.
my sons basecamp will betransporting the drink cooler and drink carrier with snacks! nom nom nom. we may try to do a trail with his trailer it will depend on the terrain at the time.
also bringing a ox of extra screws, spare parts ill be relying heavily on rc junkyard for replacing the broken stuff. i have a spare transmission for the ecto. and front axle. a few sets of spare tires,
going to bring my bashers in the off chance someone wants to trade for a crawler.
I'm gonna bring the king sling and tekno and see if theres anywhere to run them, there are a LOT of people and its very crowded for things that go fast tho lol.i saw a few slash's and big rocks last year tho so it may be possible to flip one of them into pieces lololol
gonna be doing a LOT of drooling as we just dont have the money to bring home anyhting new this time. I'm still trying to pay off the loan from last year and works been hella slow, fml

cleaned the cen up a little but had to do it quietly so noticed a few areas that will need attention. at some point i broke a mirror off. i dont remember that. gonna clean all the tires and trucks themselves this weekend,

need to get a new servo horn for the basecamp. its shape is a pita shape i dont like,

BTC SHOOTOUT – Where Skill Meets Speed!!
Get ready for one of the most exciting challenges of Beat The Creek 2025 — the BTC Shootout, happening Sunday at 11AM!
This timed event runs up a rugged, unused Creek Section, testing not just how fast you are… but how well you can drive under pressure.
$10 Entry – 2 Runs Per Driver (best time counts)
Run What You Brung – One Truck Only
Limit: 40 Drivers
Sign-Ups Begin at 10:30AM Sunday Morning at the Big Metal Building – first come, first in!
We will all walk down to the Creek Section at 11am!
All entry fees go directly into the prize pool, and Map RV Rentals has already added $200 in bonus cash!
Cash payouts + medals awarded to the top 3 fastest runs.
This is where skill meets speed — no classes, no excuses, just you, your rig, and the creek.
Don’t miss it — only at Beat The Creek 2025!
 
Goodluck and have fun for the rest of us. Really wish Florida had these. The Ultimate scale truck expo moved states.

No drugs or alcohol and it's on moody drive. 🤣🤣
