1.9 Competitive???

[DrasticSports.com]

I am trying to decide if I want to build a 1.9 or a 2.2?

Are the competitions going to start having a 1.9 class?

Is this becoming popular?

Thanks,

Tim

the way we work 1.9's is that you get an automatic points deduction for using them, and run a separate set of gates on the same course to help counter any advantage a 2.2 would have over a 1.9

i hope they will have a separate scale 1.9 class, thAt would be killer

i just sold my comp 2.2 rig to build more scale 1.9's

the rcp camp on that as we speak for socal peeps

I'm with you. I'd love to have a separate 1.9 class at my local comp. for now I'm planning on building a 2.2 to compete.

if they do, i dont think hacked 2.2 tires on 1.9s should be allowed.

and why not?

[ROSS]

yeah why not, cause its just the same as hacked maxx tires on 2.2, or hacked 2.2's to make them bigger..

^^ thats pretty dumb

2.2 cutt and shut are the only way to get realy good traction on rock they sould only be 2.2 cutt and shutt

[slobin3d]

until a manufacturer makes a decent tire that is 1.9 I don't see why there would be any problems running a cut and shut 2.2 tire, its not like you're making a 2.2 sized tire fit a 1.9 rim, when its over and done with there not very much taller than a Tamiya BFG or Rock crusher tire, just way softer.

It is hard enough getting the 2.2 scale count up.. i doubt a 1.9 class would work for our comps.

I am putting on a comp this weekend and I have 66 entrys, 31 of which are 1.9, I'd say there is more than a few that are switching over.

Thats what we did except for the seperate gates, thats a good idea for the next one. I ran a reduced and narrowed masher in the comp that proved very effective in "all terrain" conditions. I agree that untill there is a manufactured 1.9 tire that this is a good home made alternative.
