Nope


This is not tractor pulling

All weight have to be hidden as per national rules. But you could buy Gunner Tubes. I would even recommend buying them.

I was wrong that was removed in the rules. I am in contact with a few people that will help get a better grip.

Spec:

No add weight that you can not hide. Weight you run has to be the same in every event.

So if you want to hide weight I am not going to pull off your body. Unless I feel I need to because something has changed.


Wheel that you start with is what your running no changing.

So no changing anything but your battery. very fair.

I bounced this of guys that to top truck event and this is the same answer I got every where asked but one.

remember we are trying to just have fun.
