This is our second Top Truck Challenge event I'm sure everyones looking forward to compete in this event after the success of our first TTC you can see it here: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=183101&highlight=TTCThank you to everyone who helped out last time and of course the competitors who showed up. Since that was our first event of course this event will be different to keep things fresh and keep competitors on there toes There will be a series of 5 events based off of the 1:1 TTC 2009 seen here: http://www.fourwheeler.com/eventcoverage/index.html This event will include the following challenges: Mini Rubicon- A 10ft strip of truck killing rocks Mud Pit- A 10ft strip of good ol' nasty, gooey, truck swallowing mud Hill Climb- approx 10ft of soft sand straight up Frame Twister- Basically a Wicked combination of logs rocks and water Tow Test- 10ft uphill pull of one heavy Dump truck! If you haven't noticed most of the events are 10ft in length. This is because we are trying a new scoring system for each foot in the course you go you earn 1 pt. i.e. you go 7ft you get 7pts. Who ever has the most points at the end Earns the title of Top Truck of Central Florida!! If you have any ?'s or concerns post up if you want to trash talk here ya go: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200575 Last edited by CRAWL UGLY; 10-10-2009 at 01:03 PM. |

Thanks Justin! btw, it wasnt set in stone, but I think the tonka pull and the rock crawl will end up being more like 20feet....1/2 per foot. Just to make the tracks make a little more sence when only going 10 feet isnt quite enough.

| Very true...It all depends on the water levels, and the turn out.......we'll have to see, but as far as the general rule of thumb, you nailed it bud. |

If anyone wants to make up some flyers I can print them and run them down to CHP. I was out there today and spotted out what I think are the best spots for the challanges. The only thing I dont see happending is the "tank trap" the water just isnt high enough. Instead of a trank trap I propose a sprint run through the "canyon" or w.e you want to call that dug out. We can toss a bunch of rocks in there dig some holes with a shovel or w.e we can slap together to make it fun/hard. Since it's a timed run, obviously the fastest one through gets the most points. Instead of calling it a tank trap, we an call it a canyon sprint......or something like that. Any thoughts? |

Well the frame twister is mostly logs inside of mud with sharp turns, pretty much like it was last time. But im up for making an obstacle course in the canyon area for a fastest time runed event. BTW, I was thinking as far as rules The mud hole, you get 1 min to get as far as you can. no winching touching or pushing the rig. Tonka pull, once the rig has lost forward momentum, your run is over. The Hill climb, once the rig has lost forward momentum your pretty much done, but we'll give you a few seconds to work the steering and get as far as you can The Rock crawl, from what I looked at, it's going to be a 20 foot course, you get 2min and 30 seconds to make it as for as possible, backing up doesnt cost you points, but for every time flip and or need to touch or pick up the rig to get it back on course, you loose one point each time from your final score. Canyone run, youve got to make it through the course as fast as possible, winching is highly recomended (video footage!!) if you get stuck or flip, you wont loose points for winching out, but it will cost you time. If you flip or get stuck and need to touch your rig, like the rock crawl, for every time you touch (other then winching) the rig you loose one point off your overall score.

we should probably setup the courses like last time. when we get there we'll look at the ditch and form ether a 10 or 20ft strip(1/2 pt. or 1pt. per ft.) then the rock course, mud area,uphill,tug-o-dumptruck,and then obsticale course. | |
