Check out "scalerc" or "ukrcrc" for groups who crawl near you,but you will find that it is a very small rc community compared with buggy racers,I do scale crawling and have also done the 2.2 crawler nats,most meeting that are held are attended by people from all over this country so don't expect anywhere near you,I'm from chester and I go to thurstaton country park in the Wirral,fairy glen in parbold,hunters hill near parbold,crick trails park near Matlock,black rock or heights of Abraham near Matlock,you first need to get a scaler -axial scx10 is far the best as everyone has these as a starter then you try and find some hills/rocks/forest get used to driving slow you may need to change the motor and pinion to lower ones(I did) to a 45/55 turn motor and a smaller pinion to get the torque that the truck requires,don't be tempted by the offering of RC4WD until you are more used to scratch building and adapting parts...
As I've said have a look at the other sites and speak to the members...
