Pepe was meant to look and perform like a TTC rig but even for that it is a bit out of scale. However, with an 1/8th scale Bronco or Rubicon body on the same chassis and tires that changes everything and it becomes a streetable trail rig.

My point is that Pepe was meant to push the rules for the 1.9 class as far as being a "trail rig". Is it still acceptable?
Re-grudge match?

Thank you Ben. No major changes are planned, just some more scaleness.

If you remove the tailgate, you must have a complete floor and drop bed. If you want to remove your doors, you must run a full interior.
Thanks for the clarification.

I feel like i'm beating a dead horse with this post, But if you don't mind I would like your input. My rig is a 2.2 "semi scaler" by scale standards, and after reading over the rules the only things I can find on the rig going against the rules is : No interior, the batteries on the axles, steering servo on the axle" which is only a point loss" I think..., and possibly the track width. Here is a couple of photos, if you see anything else that has to be changed or if it is just completely out of class please let me know:





I really want to make this trip and have also wanted to fly fish Montana for years....so a duel purpose trip sounds perfect....

Just need some clarification before the event so I'm prepared.

Thanks.

I think if you move the batteries off of the axles and get rid of the TVP comp chassis, you would be looking pretty good. need to see a body off pic to be sure.

we would love to have you, ask Badger about his Fly Fishing trip here last year at scale nats.

Hey thanks for checking it out and I hope to be there with fishing gear. So a frame rail chassis, which is how it should be plus the other stuff and........ I run no Digs just a 3:1 RC4WD reduction unit.... Do you still need a body off photo ??

Thanks again, I tried to PM you with all this crap but yours was shut off..

Could someone clarify what a functional versus looks only spare tire would be.
When does it become looks only?

It has to be removable, glued onto the rim (or beadlocked on), and be the same size rim as is on the truck (2.2 truck has to have a 2.2 spare). Basically you have to be able to use it as a spare if you get a flat .

What if my spare is flat already? Then is it still considered "functional"?

I've got a question regarding winches....
My plan is to have receivers in my F&R bumpers, and having my winch on a mount that can be slid into either end when it's needed. It would be stored in it's own mount, secured in the bed of the truck when not in use. I am doing this on my 1:1 as well.
Would there be any penalties (Touch?) doing it this way, besides of course the 2+ for winching?
I assume a touch penalty isn't given when a strap is pulled off your truck for a recovery?

Also, tire weight......are they weighed before or after a run to meet tech? I could see guys getting more weight by drilling holes in their rims and filling with water during water crossings....has that been an issue before??

Thanks!

Just a heads up. IF the rules haven't been changed (and if they were, I didn't see it). Track width is measured from center of tire to center of tire.

"I don't think doors would be an issue, buT I would like to see a pic of what you're thinking, and we're measuring from the center of the tire to center of tire"

One small question,


This is my comp scaler. I removed my front stinger, because I don't like the looks. But it still has a bumper up front that sticks past the axles. It just doesn't reach to each side of the tires.

I hope this is ok. Its a hand made welded frame so it would take abit to change.

Thanks

Thanks for the clarification.
The rules need to be amended to reflect this change.

I'm trying to put a range rover body on my SCX10 chassis and I need to either extend the wheelbase of the body, or shorten the wheelbase of the chassis by about an inch. I was wondering how radical you can get with fender trimming before it gets questionable. Here is a pic, let me know what you think. I really don't want to shorten up the wheelbase of the chassis, I'd rather split the difference between front and rear and trim up the fenders on the body. Here is a pic of the body settin on the chassis. I think I can trim it up and have it look streetable.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
