Scale Endurance Rules:

1. 1.9 Scale (class1 and class 2) and Wraith. Must have rail chassis and drive shaft (no motor on axle). Any vehicle tha does not meet scale class requirements shall note "not scale 0 pts" on card and will not place or qualify for award. An out-of-class vehicle may still participate for fun. However, the out-of-class vehicle may not compete for points or award. Points awarded shall be 0 regardless if finished.
2. No vehicle touch (Advance forward penalty and winch penalty excluded).
3. No roll (Winch recovery penalty and vehicle assist permitted).
4. No touch repo (Advance forward excluded).
5. No judges winch.
6. DNF = value of last gate progressed (must indicate last gate progressed on card).
7. DNS = 0.
8. Battery changes and repairs done on course and on time.
9. Point system (highest points win). Every driver starts with 400 points to complete 120 gates with no time limit. Gates are moderate to hard (some gates may require a winch or recovery vehicle). Team work is encouraged and rewarded. Drivers start five at a time at the start gate. Drivers must work together to prevent bottle necking and stoppage at each gate.
10. No reverse penalties.
11. Advance forward penalties are -50. An advance forward is used when a gate cannot be progressed by a winch penalty or vehicle assist. On an advance forward the driver may pick up his vehicle and place the back tires just past the gate plane of the gates that could not be progressed. A -50 point penalty is assessed.
12. Gate penalties are -10 points. SORCCA rules.
13. Winch penalties are -2 points. SORCCA rules
14. Winch and recovery assist award is +2 points (no penalties for assisting vehicles during recovery).

17. The scale endurance is not a series event.
18. The GSRCC Scale Endurance is a free event. However, donations are appreciated. Donations pay for the food,drinks, and other amenities for the next Scale Endurance. Please help keep the Scale Endurance a fun and free event through your generous donations.

man, that's far away... you must be going there for some other reason beside this comp... right? That would be an epic trip to the Big Bear area though.

Sounds like fun.

Just bringing the Sxale Endurance to Southern California. I wanted to do this at least once. There is also Scale Endurance 11 the following week in Northern California. That way nobody misses out I'm the month of May. Go to as many as you can and have fun!

Went to Hobby People to get some parts and saw the flier for the event. Looks like a great run, not sure what class my rig will fit into but we'll be there. Glad to see that the local hobby stores are promoting the run....

Almost time!

[tapped-out]

A few more days & you already have 3 signed up.... don't sweat it I'd bet you'll get 30-40 drivers. Unless they are @ the RCX snow hanging with RCP CRAWLERS.

We scouted and set course for the GSRCC Southern California Scale Endurance 1 event today. It was windy with a nice steady breeze. Hope we get the same weather tomorrow morning. See you out there. Should be fun day!

[step child]

Will be out there around 9:00 or so. It'll be a good day if the breeze sticks around.

It was great that both of you made the drive all the way down to Apple Valley to put on a GREAT Scale run for us. On the weekend of the run their was another event going on the RCX expo a lot of the High Desert crawlers had made plans to go so their wasn't a huge turn out for the run. So the one's that did/could show up were treated to an epic coarse. My son Rock Lobster ran his Wroncho and had a awesome day +469 (1st Place) .... Flowing behind him I came in with a 2nd place, very happy with that fried motor and all... Hoping that GSRCC will come back again and put on another run I know that their was a lot of guys that would of liked to do the run. They also had some awesome after the run prizes from RC Rock Armor front and rear bumpers, receiver tow strap, and a I walked away with a drop hitch . Thank you to Hougland Imagery for taking some great pictures. Can't wait to see the video from the quadcopter.

A couple of pics I took.



Mandatory flex shot.



Had a new never crawled guy out and he is hooked. Just needs to decide on which truck to start with and we'll have another crawler.

Had a Blast thanks for coming down. Will be getting a group of guys together and heading up to do one of your events in your neck of the woods. See you guys soon.
