With the Rok Lox and Axial beadlock wheels it is 10 1/4".
Maybe wider if I have time to steal the Super 300's out of Guido.

I think Guido will be ok, Pepe is too much of a beater to ever make really nice. It'll get more mud on Friday, a whole lot more.

Pepe was designed to be a cheater scaler from day one. A chassis mounted servo is not worth the steering loss.

You didn't notice the one on top of the rear axle?

Roger that!

Based on the rules for this event I figure Pepe will score like this:
Scale points- Max points -15 or +15

-Plastic bumpers +2 (max amount of +4) -2
-Metal rock sliders -2 -2
-Plastic rock sliders +2
"-Hard body -4 (must have minimum of full cab, including hood and front quarter panels)
-4 max regardless of full bed or not (metal cab is also included in this points deduction following same rules of hardbody)"
-Lexan body 0
-Scale accessories -1 (max of -5) -5 (fire extinguisher, hi-lift, toolbox, driver, snorkel)
-Working lights -2 (must have front and rear)
-Scale winch -2 -2
-Tube bed -3 (must have metal tubing) -3
-Tube bed +3 (plastic tubing)
-Tube roll cage -3 (must have metal tubing) -3
-Tube roll cage +3 (plastic tubing)
-Full interior -4 -4
-Lexan interior -2
-Plus points for plastic
-Minus points for metal

Pepe Total = -21


Since the max is -15 there is no need for lights or chassis mounted servo.

No, I will be runing Rok Lox on Axial 8 hole beadlocks. See below.
I thought about Rock Beasts but they are so wide I would lose steering as I do with those Chisels.

I've only got 2 more days.
Besides, Summit trans means no interior. That means I have to wire up lights.

I know. But I comped with those wheels for a long time and never had any issues. The only thing different about TTC will be the truck pull. You really think it'll be a problem?

Maybe I can do some testing on Friday with my wagon. Plus I can always borrow Guido's wheels.
