Pinch, Kaetwo, look what you started. I have to thank you for 4 days of premium entertainment. I know how to solve this...

WALK OFF

Now I just want to see who can pull their underwear off without taking their pants off

I'm done with this. I'll say, "I told ya so" in about 2 mounths when this dies.

Now I must go prepare some verbal and degrading coments for those that plan to run this class.

Haha you can count on mike for those degrading comments

May want to think about allowing metal knuckles, considering i just broke a plastic one my second time crawling with it. Im only using a tower pro mg995 servo too.

But than again. Im not gonna be running the class. Ive got my axial running better than my tlt.

Did not want to read thru all the pages, maybe it has already been stated. Teching for wheel weights is easy...very easy. All that is needed is a scale. Take the tire off and weigh it. You should know how much each tire weighs, they should all be within .5 ounces or so. And yes, scales are cheap. You can pick up a digital scale accurate to that weight on flea bay for $20 and that was 2 years ago.

Thanks,
Casey

The only problem with that is the time involved in teching all the wheels/tires. Think about it. 20 trucks with 4 tires each!

Pick one at random.

Any other ideas on how this class could possibly be more difficult?

Actually I was trying to say that wheel weights should be legal. This would prevent the need to tech the wheels/tires! Less time.

one wheel per truck would probably be sufficient or you could probably just weigh the whole truck -battery, the only real weight difference should be esc and servo, and with te price set they should be fairly close

Or, I really like the idea that the club could buy one, even if they cherged everyone $5 per comp to use it, then all the teching and setups wouldn't be needed, and it's not like you really need more than one, just a couple of batteries.

Default spec class

Why not call it a Novice class? You need to be box stock 2.2 and can only win first place three times. After that happens you move up to 2.2 and start running with the big dogs. and when you smash your body you can run any style you want that way thay dont all look the same.
