Of course, I find this AFTER I clutter up your thread. Any more info here? Timing, scoring, etc. are gray areas for me. Have a few local friends "interested," but needing a little more info on the layout of an event. No serious planning yet. Wandering who is going to actually show up.

Pardon the pun but I can dig it.Checking out all the builds that i see i think were on to something so I'm in and I should have enough parts to rig up something.looking at all the Foff rides it almost remines me of rats rods,parts bin from every crawler kit available What would be better choice for a starting point SCX10 frame,Wraith, or AX10. Could this be the next big thing. Last edited by rustneversleeps; 04-16-2015 at 10:59 AM. |

I've really taken a liking to the FOFF's since i've seen them. never saw them until Samu posted pics of them on facebook recently and i was blown away by what they can do. If i wasn't about to build my first pro rig, i'm sure i would be starting to build one of these...but i think in the mean time it wouldn't hurt to find a decent truggy frame to get the juices flowing for an eventual 1/8 build. These have been the only rigs that have bitten me like the pro/sports class crawlers..not quite as much as crawlers...but a close second for sure. I've never been one to bash, but these are different and would be interesting to see if FOFF could or would take off here in my country, we have plenty of beaches so would be great to have some summer season's of some FOFF action for sure. But regardless i would love to build a FOFF once the pro is all finished and tuned. Unlimited class looks like fun, so i have a lot of reading and learning to do. |

What motors are used mostly for the Unlimited FOFF's? Is brushless the way to go, or can brushed motors be used also? |

So is class by tire size? I have another build that uses the same carbon chassis but is the LST stock 14.2'' wheel base. It still uses the Summit transmission but also has the large tires I could cut some 2.2 tires to fit the Slash style wheels to get the same tire size though. But as a hole I think that the unlimited class is the way to go as it has all the cool stuff that is fun to run! Last edited by twissted; 08-02-2015 at 02:43 PM. |

got an old tmaxx chassis I converted to electric. what class would this fall in? I imagine I would have to flip the chassis so drivelines were on top and put my flux set up in it on 6s? thanks for the info |

I believe you need solid axles to qualify no independent suspension.... Plus this is an old thread... |
