Legal?????

[hodges996]

i would like to know if this is comp legal w/ a roof, hood & side panels

[jetboat]

as long as the dimensions are within spec and you add the proper panels it should be.

[Unknown303]

Yeah the rules state pretty clearly that if they are within specs and have the appropriate body panels then they are legal. You seem to be lacking body panels in general at the moment though.

[crawlincircles]

That is kinda cool lookin. A lot better than the fast lane one. make sure that if you turn the trans around (mirror) that the spur will clear. Put some panels on and go!

[makahacrawler]

What are the measurements hes allowed and does he have to put panels on for comps.

[moabax]

How tall is the chassis from the skid to the roof. That is the only thing that might be a little short for comp rules. Other than that it looks great. I have a SPV2 chassis from flm and it is right on the line for comp specs. Yours looks pure evil, I like it alot.

[hodges996]

im unsure of the dimensions in the rules. can someone help me out.


heres the panel pics

[Unknown303]

Oohh man that looks sick with the panels on it!

Per USRCCA rules it must be in the 2.2 class, 8" long, 3" wide and 3.75" overall height! Wheelbase can't be over 12.5". Track width can't be over 12.5". It has to have a hood, roof, and 2 side panels. The side panels have to be at least 1" tall on yours. And last but not least it must look like a 1:1 rig if it's bodiless! So check it over! Hope that helps

Here is a link to download the rules in PDF format.(you will need Adobe Reader-Clickety-click-click)

Official 2009 USRCCA Rules-Clickety-click-click

And for the really lazy ones:


•

2.1.3 - Bodiless vehicles:

Must be a self-supporting, structurally complete, rigid frame. The roof must be raised a minimum of 1” from the main chassis to resemble a cockpit. The frame sides must be an overall minimum of 1” tall (The cockpit & frame side are to be measured vertically from where the hood intersects the cab). Bodiless vehicles should resemble a 1:1 vehicle.

NOTE: These bodiless rules are in a 1 year trial period to see how people respond to it and after that time these rules & requirements may be revised.


o 2.1.3.1 - Bodiless vehicles must have solid hood panel, solid roof panel and a minimum of 2 solid side-panels. Hood, roof and side panels must be separate pieces of solid material installed onto the bodiless vehicle frame. All body panels are to be separate pieces from the complete structural frame. Body panels must be solidly installed in a manner that is representative of a 1:1 vehicle. It is required that at least one point of the side-panel must reach to a span of 1” tall or more & at least one other point of the side-panel must reach to a span of 2.5” long or more. In the case of a Unibody vehicle (See sec. 2.1.3.2 for Unibody definition). The Unibody is considered to have all body panels needed without having to add separate body panels as long as the hood, roof & side panel areas meet all the general panel & side-panel size requirements above.




o 2.1.3.2 - Unibody – Constructed of a single piece of solid material (fiberglass, aluminum, plastic, etc) and must be self supporting. A Unibody cannot be fastened together in any nonpermanent way such as, nuts & bolts, pins, rivets, zip ties, etc. The roof must be raised from the main chassis to resemble a cockpit and should resemble a 1:1 vehicle.


o 2.1.3.3 - Super class minimum overall bodiless dimensions must be 12” overall length, 3” overall width, & 3.75” overall height.

o 2.1.3.4 - 2.2 class minimum overall bodiless dimensions must be 8” overall length, 3” overall width, & 3.75” overall height.

o 2.1.3.5 - 1.9 class minimum overall bodiless dimensions must be 6.75” overall length,
2.5” overall width, & 3.25” overall height.

Hope this helps

Looks like the same rules I posted.....? No change from 08 to 09.

[monkeyracer]

The only part in the rules that is ambiguous is:

"Bodiless vehicles should resemble a 1:1 vehicle."

So, we can't make a bodiless banana? I've never seen anything like the OP's rig in real life, it COULD be made in a 1:1 scale, but who decides what "resembles" a 1:1 vehicle?

[The Real Dogman]

Yeah Kenny you posted while I was putting mine together, Damn Snippers!! lol

[dudleydoright15]

you should be just fine with that. Nice rig

thanks

any ideas on what to do for height right now its only 3 1/4 skid to roof

without cutting new frame

[rambuller84]

Cut a new roof panel that bows up in the middle...

[syber70]

Wonder if putting a "curve" in the roof panel, so that it rises another .25" would satisfy the height requirement? Curving it could possibly help with self correction after a roll over?

Damn Rambuller must've hit submit a second earlier then me.
