as far as i know there are no "official" micro comps. there for I dont know of any rules. I would think if they existed they would be here

if you were building a comp rig i would imagine the rules would be determined by the people you crawl with
if you don't have any locals with micros then you dont need to follow any rules

I like those 1.9 rules. One of the reasons I got out of 2.2 was all the extra crap that was being introduced weekly. One week I had a good rig, the next week it was a stone age relic. Keeping up with the guys who had money and time for more channels, more servos, more technology was killing me.

Wheel bases are a big thing that need to be addressed it should be stock and mod two classes IMO.

Maybe a stock class, limited to stock WB, tires, 2s, and 2ch.

The a mod class w/ no limits aside from the micro axles?


I've been dying to have a big micro comp, or at least a set up at a normal comp.

What about a modified Stock class? Upgraded chassis, tires, wheels, weights, etc. but stock electrics (Esc, Motor, Servo)?

Also, Beelzebob, what type of course would you use in a comp?

well, the tronics don't give you as much of an advantage as a 6" WB 4" wide Mini QLO tire rockin rig.

if you were to make 2 classes, I think 1 would have to accommodate those who haven't plugged a few hundred bucks into one.

So the stock WB, 2s lipo, and 2ch would limit a great deal, but still allow some competitive modifications.

Then for the rest of us, we could just have an unlimited(ish) class. the restrictions there would be Losi micro axles and like a 7' WB?


We could also have a scaler class. following along the guidelines of larger scale comps.


As far as to WHAT we could run on...... EVERYTHING.

I can understand that. Was just thinking upgraded servo, ESC, etc might give an advantage as well, but I see what you're saying.

Asked about the course because if you used the Losi Micro course, other could practice, but I believe it's a little too small.

Limiting 1 class to completley stock would be too boring IMHO. they kinda suck ass right out of the box.

So allowing better servos, batts, and even ESC would give an advantage, but keep everone in the same ball field.


As for a Super Micro class, i dunno. I could make mine 12" long if i wanted LOL.....

So put a cap on the WB, but then let everyone go nutz.


A 7" Micro w/ dig and 4WS would be cool, but pretty top heavy compared to one w/o.

the lil card board thing from Losi is lame.

I spent like $100 on foam and paint and texture when i first got mine.


We cold do 3 courses, 1 all natural, 1 all synthetic, and then 1 urban course w/ books, DVD's shoes, beer bottles etc.
