RULES of RC Formula Offroad

[Zarizi Tech]

Independent suspension rigs are also allowed in both classes. As a matter of fact, it's way more popular in Unlimited class than a solid axle rig.

At the moment you can't find rules anywhere. I have had the project of translating them literally for years now, but always forgotten or did not have enough time to do it. I'll start again.

[kinglooie]

Okey fellas, There has been so much interest lately, that today I will start writing the rules down. You can follow my progress here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...N-w7vUOwE/edit

It will be based on RC Crawling rules and I'm editing them to fit in RC Foff as I go along. I hope to finish them this week.

I will inform you guys when it is officially ready.

Almost done. Will be finished by friday. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Great work, interesting stuff. So far I have no experience in FOFF competitions, but from watching videos I have one suggestion about something I did not see in the rules, but I found on the following site under "Classes": Akstursíþróttasamband Íslands

Quote:
For both classes the length of body must at least cover the wheelbase of the vehicle.

Visually a lot more appealing IMHO.

Thanks Growler for the idea. I will definately add this to the rules!

I only see one rule, that might effect negative on that. I will modify these rules so they fit for nitro guys as well.
