boxed if you want the "drop bed" scale points.

Does it matter how it's fastened

Doesn't have to be either. If its not a truggy, i.e. tube instead of frame behind the tranny plate, then it would count as a tube bed. Flat bed would just be literally that a piece of metal, wood, etc. laid as a bed flat across the rear of the frame.

[johnnyh66]

right.
Right now it's -3:
Bed : Not available to tubers.
• Tube bed OR flatbed: metal -3, plastic -1
• Bed mounted headache rack or roll bar: metal -2 plastic -1

But I think you can get another -3 points if you box it in:
Body
• Hard body: full -8, cab -4
• Drop bed : -3
• Complete custom built body: (metal or hard plastic, no lexan) full -4, Cab -2 (in addition to hard body points)
• Inner fender wells: -1 per pair

It is for people that are really into it... it's run what ya brung for those that don't care about the extra points.

[gottwins?]

I'll need what help I can get!! I'll definitely do some to this. Going to raid my sons GI joe stuff and see what will work. I just think with the 2.2s it's not going to be just "right".

[johnnyh66]

IMHO, rig performance and driving can overcome scale points.

[badhoopty]

this hill is lots bigger in person.

[johnnyh66]

I think the F'n Bastard can make it!

The very top looks like there's a root?
That could be trouble... make's for a good hill climb!

Unless my rig can drive itself, I'm in need of extra points.
I do have some killer batteries now so that always helps.

That looks similar to the hill in palos that you cartwheeled down.

[badhoopty]

im pretty sure i jinxed myself into a crappy ttc score by being point nazi, so i wouldnt worry about scale points as much as making sure your rigs are watertight and ready to be abused.

i cartwheeled down this one too...

tried to catch it with my shin, and that wasnt a good idea.

[johnnyh66]

we'll need people on the hill to spot progress... maybe they should wear catchers mitts!

[CrawlinMike]

Well..... Since we are going to a much more official style on this trip- will you allow my 1.55 truck in the 1.9s? The tire diameter is the same as 1.9 tires. I think I want to run 2 trucks in this ttc event. If my rc4wd yota breaks then o well I'll deal with it. Just my trucks are like my kids. My scx10 is on 1.9s at the moment. I have a set of 1.9 proline swamper tsls FINALLY but no more damn 1.9 bead locks.

[johnnyh66]

That's totally legal, it's no larger than x.x

Seriously guys, don't worry that your truck won't pass inspection, it will.

Trey, Z, bh, do you think it's big enough for drivers to loose it before hitting that root?
I think we'd end up with a bunch of ties if not.

[CrawlinMike]

Oh kool. Guess my summit will be entered too. Lol. I'm kidding. She would rip though.

[johnnyh66]

tires are too big!

bring it though!
I know I'm taking a few shots at that hill with my foff!


what are you guys bringing besides scalers?
I'll have the Slash, foff and the micro.
I'm leaving the vmx450 at home, it should be much safer on the camp grounds!

We we can do some short course laps behind the bar, that yard is totally big enough and smooth enough to set up "cones"!

[gottwins?]

There is that little kid course that was by the river
