The Best R/C Crawler Event at AMain Hobbies

AMain Hobbies recently hosted the 2025 City Crawl in Chico, Ca. and it was an awesome day filled with tons of activities for rc crawlers, including tug-o-war, hill climb, U4, Sumo Table and more.

Event Features:

The event kicked off with a Show & Shine, where attendees displayed their custom trucks. Throughout the day, participants enjoyed a wide range of obstacle courses, including log sections, water crossings, rock climbs, and flex tracks. Many of these were part of permanent outdoor crawling areas created by local RC enthusiasts. There were also timed crawler challenges with optional referees, a thrilling 24-foot hill climb, and an intense tug-of-war where heavier and 6x6 trucks had the advantage. The RC soccer arena for 1/24 scale mini trucks provided fun, competitive gameplay. A major highlight was the Sumo Table, where trucks battled to be the last one standing. For speed fans, the event featured a U4-style racing course that had all trucks starting simultaneously and racing through obstacles on foot alongside their vehicles.

Community Engagement:

Many of the course features were designed and donated by local crawler clubs and hobbyists, showcasing the strength of the local RC community. The event was completely free to attend, and every guest received a raffle ticket for a chance to win RC gear, LEGO sets, and other hobby-related prizes. The friendly, inclusive environment made the event perfect for families and newcomers alike.

Overall Vibe:

This was a fun, action-packed day full of RC crawling, racing, and great community spirit. With such a strong turnout and variety of activities, the 2025 City Crawl was a huge success, and everyone is looking forward to the next one.
