Hey Aaron, Quick question for ya. I've finally got my sportsman rig done and its a BEAST!! Anyways, I just noticed in the 2.2 Sportsman class rules that you are limited to a 2S lipo. Are we enforcing that rule at the Rox Box??? I don't own a single 2S lipo battery, never have, never planned on it.

Am I gonna have to buy some new batteries or can I run what I got??

Just curious!

If I remember, I'll bring mine over. But its just easier to use the touch programming, unless its a new FXR and not updated to the new firmware.

Noticed them here. Even though theses rules are not the Rox Box rules, they are just suggestions for other clubs.

Aaron has implemented his own rules for the Rox Box and it is HOUSE RULES that we will follow there


2.2 Sportsman Class Rules:(added for 2009) TAKEN FROM MiRCA's rules...


If a 2.2 Sportsman Class vehicle violates any of the following requirements it must run in Class 2.2 or 2.2 unlimited respectfully. Any vehicle competing in the 2.2 Sportsman class will not be allowed to compete in another class and vice versa. These are " Club Rules " and can be Modified or adjusted at any time as long as it is for the good of the class.

Thanks for the offer, Aaron and I already discussed it. I'm not going to worry about the battery thing, especially since i'm only running that class for fun, not to compete.

So sportsman runs the exact same courses?

So I could run my Losi(with dig) in 2.2, then I could lock the dig out and run the exact same courses in Sportsman?

Yep, sportsman run the same course's

Nope, as you can not run the same truck in 2 classes


IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE 2.2 CLASS AND BRING A SPORTSMAN TRUCK
YOU MUST DRIVE YOUR 2.2 TRUCK FIRST AS THIS IS WHERE YOUR SCORE IS GOING TO COUNT.

This takes a way the pre-running idea, has you are just driving your other truck for fun and to get more drive time. Also there are no trading trucks with other drivers to compete in dual classes

[mkinnett1]

One quick question I have? I noticed in the rules for sportsman class,that tires should not be cut for any reason. I have a set of Losi Rock Claws that I have siped. Right now, I can't really afford to buy a new set of tires just for a comp (due to kids and Christmas) plus I'm waiting on the new sedonas. Anyways, is this gonna be a problem with me running in the sportsman class. If so, I may have to pass cause its the only set of tires I have till income tax time.

Your tires will be fine ... no worries

We run USRCCA Rules, and for our sportsman class you just need a shafty and no dig.

The ROX BOX is running a shafty, no dig class so dont let all these sportsman class rules get in the way.

Thanks

[mkinnett1]

Thanks, much appreciated. Like I said, can't really afford to buy new tires and really didn't wanna miss my first comp because of tires. I only plan on the sportsman class for now cause I don't have a dig yet. Planning on getting one at income tax time so I can hang in the bigger classes.
