The definition of a "Sportsman" rig Please

[Phins Fan]

As it states. I'm building what I would consider a Sportsman rig from what i have seen vids of but I may not actually qualify for a sportsman class. Could someone supply the specs for a sportsman rig please?

Any axle configuration that is shaft driven and meets the dimensions you mentioned above. Ax10, LCC, AR60 etc.

I think that last part should be removed (and also the "no MOA" addition I've seen used locally).
A simple one motor limit is sufficient. Then it's fine to have that motor mounted anywhere on the rig, propelling any combination of the four wheels.
