6.5 lbs with a old fish scale. Thanks though. I'm just curious if it's within their team trials rules.

Yes... I think it'd fit into the Unlimited 2.2 class. Our Trials Class seems to be a bit more restrictive on overall looks and setup(s).

For the ORCRC Unlimited 2.2 Class it will pass inspection ;)

Why not the team trials?

I have a few other questions for you guys. Though not comp related I didn't want to start a new thread.

1. Do you seal the axles from water?
2. Are you running foams in your mashers? Toyo looking thru the pics of your avatar truck it doesn't look like it.
3. Do you seal the servos?

Why not the team trials?

The Team Trials rigs are more of the "scale" looking rigs, your tuber might look scale but not in the same sense as a normaly built trail rig. Think of our team Trials as a 1:1 street legal trail rig.



1. Do you seal the axles from water?

What water? :lol:

I don't and really I don't think anyone else does either. Most of us have shaved the TLT axle housings which makes them pretty thin on the bottom and most tend to leak water throughout the next day :)


2. Are you running foams in your mashers? Toyo looking thru the pics of your avatar truck it doesn't look like it.

Nope. No one runs foams. The traction is by far better without the foams.



3. Do you seal the servos?

Not really. There are the small o-rings that help seal the case but other than that I have added a very small amount of GOOP to where the wires enter the case. The servos stay pretty dry as it is.

The only real electronics that are really effected by the water would be the ESC and reciever. Recievers tend to handle water pretty good. I dunked my truck last weekend, everything went under and I just kept the Super Rooster over the heater vent for a couple days and everything works fine.

Once the ESC gets wet it's just best to stop driving and keep it unplugged so you don't ruin it. Everyone in ORCRC has dunked their ESC's a couple times.... I think only one ESC didn't make it after it's wet adventure.
