FOR ALL OF US THAT (poo their is my caps again sorry ) have raced r/c in the past or still do , know about the drama and work that goes in to all the comps/races and time , at leased for me i like to build the rigs go out in the middle of know where (away from the city) and drive my rig i built , bullpoo with others that have done the same the comps are awsome but i personaly think keeping them simple and straight forward will keep crawling ingenral more fun , i think 2.2 based class and that is good enough , its all a hobby and fun , so for people that want to bring supers , nylints , stompers , its all good run what ever but if you know you want to compete hardcore then you should build a 2.2 and follow the 2.2 rules . utrcrc (naz-t ) go out at leased 2 times a week and just fun crawl , most the time all of us know about it and who has time shows , and we all have fun crawling , and bullpooing about set ups and shiz ... simple and straight foward ... k their is my 2 pennies...  |

Crawling is ALL about upgrading and testing, everyone does it all the time, if you take that factor away, whats left??!?! half of the fun is making and upgrading your machine, constantly trying out manufacturers new stuff. building new tube chassis, trying out setups.. how can we possibly go without this??? | |

At first I was against it but I think it sounds like fun, at least to try out. Its all about the driver and not the machine. Maybe we could try something out at a get together. I'm sure there is at least 1/2 dozen guys in UTRCRC that would be willing to pick them up just to try out. I got mine this morning and am going to set it up stock, at least at first. Also, I totally agree with Bender, the main reason I still run Super is for driving time, this also sounds like fun and means more driving time too. If its the price of a rig or another rig, I know that majority of people on the forum that have been on for more than 6 months have several rigs. What's one more especially when you're running for $400 or less |

OK then... Axial AX-10 - completely box stock - Only Axial brand factory hop-ups allowed (on-axle battery/servo mount, high clearance links, aluminum shocks, etc) - Any 10th scale body (see USRCCA rules for body regulations) - Any Axial band 2.2 tires and rims - No wheel weight (tire or rim) or weighting the vehicle in any way - 55t motor only (kit gearing 14/87) - Novak Rooster 12t or Rooster CE ESC only - Hitec HS-645MG only - Any Radio - Mini-T or RC-18 battery only - must mount on the stock battery tray (unless Axial factory hop-up is used) You can tweak the ride height (cut the springs limit the shocks, what ever) |

I'd liked it when it was a price restriction on the servo and ESC, not a model. Whatever though. There are plenty of servos out there that are the same quality as those but cheaper. Keep if stock too, your just making it into a standard 2.2 comp rig by the time you do all of the hop ups, ie high clearance links and front battery mount. So, is that with modified foams or stock foams only? |

 Or you could be like the UT guys who don't run Supers...run one rig, all the time. Build it to be bombproof, carry enough spares to fix anything that can break anyways, have multiple batteries, and don't make excuses. Just drive the thing. I won't argue the importance of wheel time...you're exactly right on that...but wheel time on a Super isn't going to do much of anything for you when it comes to driving your 2.2, and vice versa. Not all wheel time is equal. 4 hours of crawling a 2.2 rig vs. 2 hours of crawling a 2.2 rig and 2 hours crawling a Super do not have the same result for the 2.2 rig. The guy who spends 4 hours crawling his 2.2 is...given everything else being equal...better prepared than the guy w/ only 2 hours on that rig, and an additional 2 hours on a different rig. | |

Well, then you'll remain an average driver with that attitude. | |

I see where you're coming from. More wheel time on a single rig is key. But, driving different rigs once in a while is beneficial IMO. | |

I hate the idea of a spec class. Crawling is not only about driving. Its also about setup and innovation. |
