Where is the direct question you asked about your truck?

Ben and Aaron were very quick and very willing to answer all questions I had to keep my rig in line, Even after that I brought a whole extra rig just in case they vetoed it at check in for any reason...

But if your having fun and were allowed to run, every thing should be good



and as long as were quoting stuff....

The 2.2 scale class will be limited to 2.2" rim sized rigs.

- This class is for the typical trail rigs, that you have modified quite a bit for off road.
- All 2.2" OEM tires are legal, any modified tire may only be 5.2" tall
- Track width can be NO more than 10.5" in the 2.2 class
- You must run a complete body, bumpers, including fenders, doors & tailgates. Some fender trimming is allowed but the basic shape must be retained.
- A shortened or lengthened body is allowable. A tubed bed must have a functional bed area capable of carrying a full-size spare laid flat (rear fender and tailgate rules to not apply to tubed beds).
- No 4 wheel steer or rear steer at all! if you have more than 2 axles, the FRONT axles are the ONLY ones that can steer.
- No " DIG " of any kind is allowed.
- Wheelbase is limited only by your body, and must fit in your fender wells.
- Vehicle must have a frame-railed chassis. Tubed frame rails are ok.
- Vehicle wheelbase needs to fit within the fender walls of the body.
- Vehicle battery must be mounted on the chassis. You cannot mount the battery above the steering servo/axle/upper links. The goal is to place the battery where it is not visible for a more scale appearance.
- Vehicle must run a full approved body. Fenders may be cut, but it must resemble a 1:1 rig you'd see on the street. "Iffy" Vehicles must be approved by the other MTRCRC members.
- You may add weight to your wheels, but you are only allowed a maximum of 12 TOTAL oz's. You can put it in whichever wheels you want, but 12 oz is the total.

BOTH CLASSES, NO COMP OR TVP CHASSIS, PERIOD, THIS IS SCALE GUYS.

- Winches
- Headlights & tail lights
- Sand ladders, Jerry cans, snorkel,
- Spare tires
- Tools, including shovels, Tamiya wrench, axe,

Yep Im having fun, but that almost didnt happen yesterday had we not "come to an agreement". At first I was totaly turned away with no options and then later after some talking I was alowed to run....Cool thanks! I dont have an issue here, I just wanted to show what I was talking about with the whole "measured center to center" thing. And it doesnt specificaly say in the official rules that its outside to outside. All it says is track width must be 10.5. Anyway end of subject yesterday was just that....yesterday. Today is a whole new day of fun!

Also I searched the PM's I still have, unfortunatly I must have deleated the ones that covered this subject along with others. Figures!

Wow man... now I'm glad I didn't go...

I woulda been pissed to have been told I could run and then get there and go through that...

And then still be able to run but get no scale points for a -25 scale point rig?

You're nicer than me. I'd a raised hell.
