* Official 2011 Scale Rules Questions Thread *

[@tw!ll]

Wondering if a luggage rack will get me the scale points for a roof rack? It will take up the entire area behind the window, and have scale accs in and on it.
In fact it will actually be the same design as a standard roof rack, just mounted slightly lower.

• Spare tire carrier (must be bumper mounted): -1

Does this mean a bed mount spare tire carrier is out on points? What if it's mounted in the bed but has one attachment point on the rear bumper?

What 2.2 tires are smaller thank 4.75" without modding and are legal in class 2?

I can't quite recall where the thread is but justinart has a thread on tire sizes. It might be in the scale rules section.

[team3six]

Here it is.
Scale Tire Size Charts...

[spookyseven]

Thanks for the chart. Would 1.9 outcroppers be legal? I dont see them on the banned list.

Edit: Duh, I found them, they are under the class 1 list.

The rack would count for points if it were mounted to the roof, but since your mounting it in the bed/rear window area no points.

has to be solely mounted to the bumper to be awarded spare tire carrier. (think swing away) its awarded that way because the loss of departure angle having mounted like that, and because of the effort to make such a mount.

[chino63]

Ok, thanks.

Would these be considered Boat Sides? The skins can be removed.

[microgoat]

Looks more like a floor pan to me.

[EvilTwin v2]

Looks to me like a set of rocker guard/sliders with a skid or floor attached.

[Tommy R]

I would agree that it looks like sliders....unless some of the body were cut away?

[needs2hunt]

ok ... drop bed question??? you get -3 for a drop bed... do you also get -1 for the wheelwells???

[hotwheels000]

I think you mean inner fender wells ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^and I would think so since that is how a 1:1 trucks inner fenders are.

Just my opinion.

[EvilTwin v2]

To me, simply having a drop bed does not equal inner fenders in every case.

[Tommy R]

I guess it depends if your drop bed has inner fenders and they're not cut out.

[TraxFD]

I think this is a good example. I have been told that this does not qualify as inner fenders and that is fine by me but what do others say?

I can get a better picture if needed to clarify. The inner bedsides go all the way from fron to back and the wheel wells are as pictured. It does resemble a 1:1 as there is a "space" between the outer and inner bed sides.
