What do you guys think of this?

[426brapdingin]

Well was just pondering on what you guys would think of starting a formula offroad series of some sort. For those of you who dont know what it is check out youtube stuffs insane Pretty much a coarse set up with gates up an loose insane hill climb with a few cliffs thrown in the mix. Tempted to build one out of an old crawler i got...just wondered what your guys take on it was. Thanks

Nope, it's completely different style of rig and course than baja.

Look up Icelandic Off road or formula off road and see


Would be fun, but no coin for another rig....

I'm down,,Hill climbs are cool as hell,,a lot of power,,paddle tires,,a little suspension and a whole lot of throttle

Stab it and steer

I have had everything to build one for awhile now! Where would we run them?

Gross reservoir has some steep gravel hills

[bmx_ican92]

The dunes!

[426brapdingin]

Im not sure where we would run, only place i know of is Grand Junction. Guess ill start buildin one heh.

[rmdesignworks]

u could see if that church location for the tough truck course would/could allow a 10-12 foot high ramp?! build it up cover with dirt and run,,just a thought

[bmx_ican92]

the only rules are, it has to look attractive. so if you can accomplish that lol your solid

[426brapdingin]

Lol dont know how one would go about making piles of dirt and gravel attractive...hmm guess checkin out google earth would be an option. Anybody that would be interested in running please post your location so i can do some searching around the middle, im slightly west of Denver might be able to get a place goin if there arnt to many of us up on some family private land. Also what are your thoughts on classes, rules, ect.? I was thinking maybe have some 2.2 classes maybe some bigger ones for the maxx trucks and what not, anyone plan on runnin nitro? Would really like to get the ball rollin on this. Gonna take a little bit to get my rig together so who knows. If anyones got any pics of their form 4x4 post em up! Dont care if its just a build or full rig lets see em! Gotta know what my competitions gonna be like Set ups would be cool too. I plan on runnin a tube frame with tlt axles, r2 tranny sadly hah, not sure what paddles yet 2.2 of course, gonna see how my 8.5 havoc will do. Alright well thanks for takin interest nice to know i wont be runnin alone at times heh

[rmdesignworks]

1.9's,,2.2's,,& supers just like crawlin,,same wheel base, body, tech rules but no other limitations since the rigs that hill climbs are all an unlimited style

point of measure scoring,,over the top scoring,,out of bounds and gate penalties

[426brapdingin]

Sounds good to me. Still havnt found a good place to run but havnt touched the build for awhile sense ive been trying to build some metal c's for the darn tlt axles but now im not sure theyll hold up to the power...rats dont know what to do. Was hopin to get some snow runnin in too haha

[426brapdingin]

Haha axles should hold so i should have some pics up of the rig in the next few days! Put the Havok in my scaler just to see how it would do and had no heat issues or anything and was bustin fat 4wd drifts haha much fun! Now all i need is some paddles.

[426brapdingin]

Well got her movin under her own power now to just figure out what paddles i wana run. Dont mind the shotty joints heh went from a arc, to brazing haha so some of the joints are a little messy bein my first time brazing and all Plans in the making for a scale looking rig soon.
