You might just be surprised by my competition inspired RTI...

With a 15.5" WB I have a RTI of 968.

More writeup about it here...

Yeah but size is one thing... RTI is another. I'm intrigued!

How are you calculating the RTI to get >2000?

30deg ramp?

How high from the ground to the lowest point of your raised tyre?

What axles are you running?

You got any pics of the setup all flexxed up?

Ah OK, now I know how you calculated it.

Based on your measurements that your WB is 22", total width is 18" and your tyres would be at best about 3" wide (therefore the highest you can crawl up a ramp is 18" - 3" = 15") Your best possible RTI measured the proper way is actually 1364 with the front axle at 90deg to the ground.

You must have punched in your diagonal flex i.e. if you lift diagonally opposite wheels + add the total height to get greater than 90deg articulation in order to calculate the 2000 odd flex.

This is why I have stated above that RTI really becomes irrelevant with the super flexxy rigs.

1389..lol..whatever that means

Just by adding an inch and 3/4 to my wheel base it would bring the score down to 1222

Just punched in Tater-Tots current figures and came out with.... 1891

13" off the ground with a 13.75" wheelbase :? It's quite short, too short.

Heres the score for my maxx/txt.

30* Enter the angle you want the score for.
9.5" Verticle height in inches of the highest tyre before any tire lifted.
17" Vehicles wheelbase in inches.


RTI score 1118 at 30 degrees
Your vehicle would have driven 19.0000" inches up a 30 degree ramp

Default rti ramp
