|  Rock Racers
Kind of a spin off from the Batavia thread and from interest in it last year early... Who would be interested in building rock racers for some friendly competition. Nothing special, basically 2.2 rule set with faster motors. Heck, some people might be able to use their comp rigs. Only a couple rule changes for the vehicles that I would suggest: 1. no dig 2. 5" tire limit. 3. shaft drive only 4. single motor only 5. brushed only These are not just to keep competition close but to keep it affordable |

noone caught that I put tire limit at 5" instead of the 5.2" that scalers have, I'm thinking we make it 5.2' so scale trucks can compete. Come on guess.... chime in or Ill just drop it. |

Thats the spirit, Im just converting my older 1.9 tuber into racer with a faster motor and plastic rims with little to no weight in them. I was trying to keep the rules so everyone in the scale class could run it... We will have to find some time after 1 of the comps to run these. | |

Is there any rule on body's? or bumpers what about battery's (I think 2s to 3s would be a little unfair) |
