Hope to have this thing done in time

Was that one Rodney's?

[The Crawl Space]

Nope, I asked MG200 for a chassis and this is what showed up

[rcdude3]

What is the Terra-X class?

Terra-X was originally designed for the Exo Terra buggy,its a cross between racing and crawling with a multiple lap format. Terra-x has now expanded to include all styles of rigs like scale trucks, ie; SCX10s, Wraiths and hybrids since not everyone has a Exo buggy and everyone wants to have fun.

From what I've seen and heard its a kick in the pants

[rcdude3]

Nice! Would it be possible to run 1.9, 2.2, and terra x over that weekend?

[The Crawl Space]

From my understanding you can one truck for each stage, ie; 1.9 or 2.2 on the day stage, 1.9 or 2.2 on the night stage and whatever for the terra-x.

[TURTLE]

Are none Axial based rigs allowed at this event?

The basic rule of thumb, is it scale. A scale vehicle must be a 1/10 scale car/truck with a scale chassis, custom tube scale chassis or tub chassis.

Is the g6 on sat and the terra x sunday? I'm 2+ hours away from Decker -> thinking about grabbing a hotel room somewhere close by for the night. But I wanted to see if it was necessary first.

My tropical wraith as it stands now.

Ok. Im all confused on the pricing... Say I run the Wraith for the day stage and the 1.9 at the night and the Wraith again for the Terra-X, what would that cost?

At this time we are scheduled for day and night stages on Saturday and Terra-X on Sunday. Primitive camping is available at and near the site. I believe the closest hotels would be in Manitou Springs.

You're basically playing for the events $25 for the G6 and $20 for Terra-X so $45 total.

I hope to have this project done in time

[TURTLE]

This should be rockin' for the Terra X.


And I just ordered a new motor for the Raisin so that should be ready to go for the 1.9 adventurist class.

[bvrc]

This might be a dumb question, but where can I find class definitions? What does adventurist mean?

[The Crawl Space]

No such thing as dumb questions, you ask and we answer

Classes: There are several classes to choose from. A driver may only challenge themselves in more than one class if time allows and the second class is a different tire size. Each class will offer a driver different levels of fun with different challenges and guidelines.

-Ultra 1.9 – This class is for drivers of 1.9 scale vehicles who take their scale challenge to the next level. An Ultra Driver will have to complete class specific stages and tasks and mandatory skill / driver challenges in the quickest time possible. This class is a more like a rally cross style stage with a quicker pace and more difficult mandatory challenges. Drivers of this class must use natural winch anchors points only or be helped from another Ultra Driver. Any outside assistance will result in a Stage DNF. There are no time restrictions for the Ultra Class Driver and a pee test for doping may not be mandatory, but highly recommended for any Ultra Class Driver who isn’t sweating.

-Ultra 2.2 - The same as the Ultra 1.9, except 2.2 tires are used.

-Adventurist 1.9 – This class is for drivers of 1.9 scale vehicles who enjoy a challenge. The Adventurist will demonstrate driving ability with more skill sections and more stage challenges and contend with the ever present break out time. This is the class for the driver who realizes that finishing the adventure is the goal. Drivers may use natural winch anchor points or be assisted by other Adventurists by a tow strap, winch, or another drivers shoe laces. The Adventurist may partner up with fellow Adventurist or several to experience the stage as a group and help each other reach the goal of finishing.

-Adventurist 2.2 - This Class is the same as the Adventurist 1.9 Class. Wraiths and Wronchos are at home in this class.


-RECON G6 Teams – This Team Challenge is for 1.9 drivers who share one scale vehicle. This could be two friends or two family members that drive and maintain one scaler. Each team driver will be required to drive half of the total stage or any configuration of the stage as the Driver or Team Captain deems. If a stage is 200 trail markers, each driver will be responsible for driving half of the trail markers then handing the driving duties over to their teammate to complete the stage and finish. Keeping your vehicle together is part of the team challenge. While one team member is driving, the other will be their stage buddy. A Team driver may winch off their stage buddies shoe lace.

I just got confirmation from the RECON crew and running one class on the day stage and another on the night stage will constitute a second class for just $10 more

[bvrc]

Lets make this more complicated... May one truck be run by two different drivers in different events?

My buddy from Tennessee will be visiting next weekend. Say I have a 2.2 and a 1.9. Can we each drive one during the day, then swap for the evening run? We'd each pay our dues obviously...

No complication at all, either way its a second class for each driver
