If I can Figure out a way to Build it...

Would a 2.2 scale version of this be legal for the comp?

It might not be perfectly scale to that truck, but if I could figure out a way to build something like that and still make it look like you could build it in 1:1, would it be ok with everyone?

If you could build an rc version of that! :shock:

Thats Just crazy!:lol:

I am gonna have to say NO, sorry man. But we would love to see it on sunday at the trail ride and fun day if you can build it.

[Rudukai13]

What if I figured a way to build it using a tubed frame rail chassis?

[Rudukai13]

I could build it so that it met all of the 2.2 rules :?:

I would love to say that as a scaled down crawler. Looks pretty difficult to do though.

[Rudukai13]

It wouldn't be perfect, but I could get fairly close. I would change it to look a little more "production truck heavily modified for the trail" kind of rig.

[Unimoger]

my answer is still the same , sorry.

Isn't forced articulation penalized/illegal?

Wouldn't there also be a reverse penalty every time you rotated a tire backward for skid steer? (it looks like it is capable of skid steer)

Im sure someone who knows the rules better could chime in on this.

It would be a cool rig no doubt though. "thumbsup"

[Rudukai13]

It wouldn't use forced articulation or skid steering :?:

[Rudukai13]

I guess I'm just trying to find out why it wouldn't be allowed-it would match all the rules and be based on a scale rig and look like it could be based on a production chassis, so I don't see how it wouldn't be allowed unless it's just because you think it would work too well...

[lizard017]

if you could build it, i would buy it

[Rudukai13]

I don't think I would sell it...

I don't see any suspension limitations in the rules?

[Rudukai13]

The only limitation I can see is that it has to look like it could be based on a production rig, which I could easily do.

[Rudukai13]

I think I've figured out a way to make something like this scale for the comp but also lean more towards a more orthodox rig-let me build it, then tell me what you think?

I think you just need to build it and shut everyone up .
