Talking HOW about this, need your 2 cents !

I have been wanting to do this for a long time. What do you guys think about a tough truck comp ? I would much rather have it clod /maxx monster sized, how ever due to the moa nature of crawling, MOST people have a axial or tlt based rig around or could make one with little effort. My thoughts trucks should be shaft driven 2.2 wheels ,13" wheelbase max. I think that I have enough terrain here at the house for a comp like this. We can do hill climbs few ones timmed, tug of war, coulpe of courses, speed rock race style (no penalties) mud pit. The only change that could be made to your truck is to change the wheels /tires for each event. could run a scale type or crawler based chassis. This just sounds fun to me. just plain old laid back mayhem ! cut loose and break some stuff !!!!!!!!!!!! so what do you think ? any other takers /

Default bout time you get out of the house!!

I am in 100% as long as there is no dig units allowed. I feel digs are for competition rock crawling and should be left there. other than that (have trucks will travel)

I like the idea. Will just be a little while before I get a truck built for it.

I second this. too bad stampede's are not 4wd. I guess that I need to start looking for another set of axial axles.

I'm from Huntsville. I'm down for the tough truck comp. I'm not much of a rock crawler as I am a scale/trail rig runner. I'm currently building a Reign K2-5 Silverado that would be perfect for this! Check-out the specs and a pic.

Body: Silverado SS
Chassis: Reign K2-5
Tranny: R2HD
Axles:TLT
Wheels: 0°offset stock cars
Tires: 1.9 Rock Crushers
ESC: Traxxas XL5 WP
Motor: Integy 65T
Servo: Hitec HS-5645mg

Hey Cotton.... that's a sweet ass rig you got there. I've always liked those Reign chassis. Maybe one day I might actually build one of them.

Thanks! I may sell another Reign chassis i have. It's a K2-3S with TLT axles set with 4-link trusses, aluminum rear lock-outs & Tamiya TRF shocks. All it needs is a tranny (pede or axial) and driveshafts. It looks just like this one.

SOunds good We have to nail down the rules (truck specs.) I think were close on the 2.2 but some people other than me where talking about a bigger truck class. This will bring the carnage !!!!!!!!!!
