RCAWD & Boom Racing present Melbourne Comp Crawlers’ ROUND 4 crawl meet for 2024! Once again, a bunch of us like-minded hobbyists will be enjoying some time on the rocks with our crawlers. You’re welcome to join us to run some courses and just hang out at Melville Caves Lookout on Sunday, Oct 27.
** As always, your safety is your responsibility! **
We’ll be on public land and just driving toy trucks together. This is not any kind of official event. Rocks can be slippery. It’ll be hot (but possibly cold at this time of year 🤷♂️) and possibly wet. If you have a child and/or pet with you, their supervision and safety is completely your responsibility. Please be careful!

CLASSES & SCHEDULE
We’ll be running probably 4 classes for this one: Performance Scale (C2), Scale-1 (C1), Tuff Truck and Mini. If there’s interest, we can run Pro MOA and Sportsman as well.
We’ll aim to run all-day courses for all classes. A few of us will set-up early, mark the courses, and then you can find a friend or two and run together and score each other over the day. No stress, no rush, no disappointment!
Driver briefing will be at 9.30am. Group photo and prizes will be 11am-ish.
Here’s what you need to do when you arrive:
- Find the MCC table and complete a waiver form. This is required to participate in this event, even if you’ve filled one in before.
- Get your car/s to the table to have them checked and cleared to run.
- Find a person or people to score your runs. The aim is to take turns driving and scoring with each other/your group.l We’ll be using crawlerresults.com. Site password will be at the table.
- Run your car/s in the appropriate courses for your class. Have fun!
All classes will have 5 courses to run. They’ll be marked clearly from #1 to #5. Be sure to match this with your scoring on crawlerresults.com when doing your runs.
Here’s how we’ll approach the classes. 10 courses total will be set:
- 5 Courses for Tuff Truck, Sporty and Pro MOA. These will be labelled A to E and are wider than the other 5 courses.
- 5 Courses for P/Scale, Scale-1 and Mini 1.9
- We’ll have some ‘C1’ gate markers on the P/Scale courses, making these 5x courses appropriate for both P/Scale and also Mini 1.9 and Scale-1 classes simultaneously.
- Mini & Scale-1 (aka. Class 1 or C1) will use C1 gates wherever they’re present. Performance Scale will use the same course, but not through C1 gates; only through the numbered gates.
** GROUP RIG PHOTO & PRIZES ~11AM **

With all courses set for the day, you should be free to run whatever you’ve got in whatever order you like, whenever you like. Come back to the table or find the MCC guys (Craig, Martin, Simon, Toby, Adam) if you need a hand, directions, first aid, life advice or to discuss brushless vs brushed motors for crawlers. If you’re in doubt about what class your rig/s will suit, ask in the FB group and/or just turn up on the day. We’ll work it out! 🙂
