So, when a small handful of guys show up with Pitbull 1.9 tires to Montana is there going to be problems? I'd rather know before I get there. And if you haven't seen them they are 100% scale.

Only if I'm on that list...

I have no problem with anyone running the Pitbulls .

Of course not, why would you?

BTW, my Toyota will soon have the same bolt pattern as your Range Rover.

Oh shucky ducky...quack quack! The tires are not yet a manufactured tire? This will be your sticking point? They are cheater tires.

And yes, I'm running the 2.2's on my TTC Taco.

The tires were manufactured by someone.. The rules never anywhere say things have to be available to the public..

Do I need a floor to get the neg points for 3D interior? Couldn't find it anywhere, thanks.

elaborate? pictures please

C2 rig, Wild Willy driver, Bruiser dash and 1 aluminum seat. Hard to fit it in there due to all the wiring, motor heatsink and battery holder, etc. Just wondering if it's worth the effort this late in the game. Need to finish the other trucks, blah blah blah...

[chino63]

Ok, I was able to get the electronics to the front of the truck. This might really mess with the way it handles not to mention the additional of 3.5oz worth of interior. Here's where I'm at.





Rules say two seats for -3. What is it for 1 seat?

Nothing about floor.

Willy is cut below the knees and will still be into the steering servo. He should be good for -2 right? What about if I have to amputate more on his left leg? Can I attach a toothpick to it, paint a patch over one eye and call him a pirate? Still -2?

[BigBaller]

Quick question...

If I mount my mirrors and they fall/rip off while competing, what happens? Loss of points or Don't matter, trail carnage is cool? Also, Is there anything that says how they should be mounted or actual location for mirrors? Thanks.

We've always said that if scale items come off during your run you lose points for them...otherwise you could load your truck up with stuff, not tie it down, and scatter it all over the trail. Things like mirrors are kind of tough....on one hand, I like to see people rip stuff off on the trail, but it needs to be on your vehicle to get points.
Mounted in stock location.

Dean, due to it not being a complete interior, I'd probably only give you a -1 for the interior. Just not complete enough. I'll let Aaron make the final decision though .

Cool, so if I have my mirrors in stock location...I have mine mounted so I can "swing" them in. I do that on my 1:1 in tight trails.

So quick clarification. A bumper like this:

Would get -3 for metal bumper, and -1 for grill guard for a total of -4?

Parking at the mall is getting tighter and tighter with all the spaces being lined for smaller cars these days. I have the same problem.

Yeah, kinda figured that's how it will go.

What constitutes a full interior? Dash, seats, steering wheel, floor, what else is required?

Complete Bruiser interior ok?

Also, D-rings, -1 for each or just having them?

I was wondering the same thing.
