[bbyrd22]

ARK/LA/MISS CRAWLERS COMP #4

LOCATION: JACKSONVILLE, AR
WHEN: MAY 31st
TIME: Start comp @ 10:00 a.m.

Agenda: Two courses - One course up top with a 20 gate run. No time limit, just timed. 20 pt gate point out, No course point outs.
Second course at the stair step wall. Short course, 3 to 4 gates, from the bottom, starting on the rocks to
the top over the wall, all up hill. Same point rules as above.

Then, scale runs, whether it's through the courses or whatever.

Same rules, same points except for repairs, 5pt penalty.

I will visit JAX a week before the comp, take pics for backup of the site. Rain has let up so hopefully the waterfalls has receded.

If your new, I'll post directions upon request.

[DARKHORSE]

[JBHardwear]

Last two weeks in May? Either one.

[chip cross]

I voted for a 1.9 comp here is some rules to give us some ideas.



(* The goal of these classes is to have a scale looking rig.)

The 1.9 scale class will be limited to all 1.9" rim sized rigs.

- This class is for the typical street legal rigs, that you run off road.
- You may cut down and modify a 2.2 tire to fit a 1.9 rim.
- All OEM 1.9" tires are legal, any modified tire can be no larger than 4.4"
- Track width can be NO more than 9.5" in the 1.9 class
- Flywheels brand wheels and tires and 1/18 scale Nylint brand wheels and tires will be allowed.
- You must run a complete body, including bumpers, fenders, doors & tailgates. Some fender trimming is allowed but the basic shape must be retained.
- A shortened or lengthened body is allowable. A tubed bed must have a functional bed area capable of carrying a full-size spare laid flat (rear fender and tailgate rules to not apply to tubed beds).
- No 4 wheel steer or rear steer at all! if you have more than 2 axles, the FRONT axles are the ONLY ones that can steer.
- No " DIG " of any kind is allowed.
- Wheelbase is limited only by your body, and must fit in your fender wells.
- Vehicle must have a frame-railed chassis. Tubed frame rails are ok.
- Vehicle wheelbase needs to fit within the fender walls of the body.
- Vehicle battery must be mounted on the chassis. You cannot mount the battery above the steering servo/axle/upper links. The goal is to place the battery where it is not visible for a more scale appearance.
- Vehicle must run a full approved body. Fenders may be cut, but it must resemble a 1:1 rig you'd see on the street. "Iffy" Vehicles must be approved by the other MTRCRC members.
- You may add weight to your wheels, but you are only allowed a maximum of 12 TOTAL oz's. You can put it in whichever wheels you want, but 12 oz is the total.

The 2.2 scale class will be limited to 2.2" rim sized rigs.

- This class is for the typical trail rigs, that you have modified quite a bit for off road.
- All 2.2" OEM tires are legal, any modified tire may only be 5.2" tall
- Track width can be NO more than 10.5" in the 2.2 class
- You must run a complete body, bumpers, including fenders, doors & tailgates. Some fender trimming is allowed but the basic shape must be retained.
- A shortened or lengthened body is allowable. A tubed bed must have a functional bed area capable of carrying a full-size spare laid flat (rear fender and tailgate rules to not apply to tubed beds).
- No 4 wheel steer or rear steer at all! if you have more than 2 axles, the FRONT axles are the ONLY ones that can steer.
- No " DIG " of any kind is allowed.
- Wheelbase is limited only by your body, and must fit in your fender wells.
- Vehicle must have a frame-railed chassis. Tubed frame rails are ok.
- Vehicle wheelbase needs to fit within the fender walls of the body.
- Vehicle battery must be mounted on the chassis. You cannot mount the battery above the steering servo/axle/upper links. The goal is to place the battery where it is not visible for a more scale appearance.
- Vehicle must run a full approved body. Fenders may be cut, but it must resemble a 1:1 rig you'd see on the street. "Iffy" Vehicles must be approved by the other MTRCRC members.
- You may add weight to your wheels, but you are only allowed a maximum of 12 TOTAL oz's. You can put it in whichever wheels you want, but 12 oz is the total.

having a scale comp is fine with me but i dont think it should be tied directly into our already standing points. this would cause people that want to stay up in points to either build a whole nother rig or spend a butt load of money on their scaler they already have to be able to compete with the ones that will be there.

i know i spent a ton of money on building my "comp" rig, and WILL NOT build another one just to meet OTHER requirements so i dont drop out in points that i already have earned.

i have a pretty badass scaler right now, yea, but it doesnt crawl for schit, and i dont want to try and make it that way. the most fun i have at all comps, is the NON Comp play time with the scalers. Its just a bunch of bashing.

If it's on the 24 or 25 of May I am out, I have a family reunion that weekend.

X2 I am cool with anything, just a good gtg and some follow the leader sounds good to me, I am easy As long as it is not Vista (my ankle is very mad at me:-()

I vote for the weekend after this^

[constantmotion]

I don't think we need to have 1.9 "Comp" just a GTG. We need a non pressure gathering. I would like just to have a GTG and play around with any rig we bring, any type scaler, 2.2 Comp rig, or Super. Maybe set up some gates and give the 1.9ers a whirl on a set course. Maybe have a trail ride through the course. Not too big on a follow the leader type run.

[truckerbuddy2]

im down for prety much anything... the more 1.9 friendly it is, the better i will adapt...

i voted for the shreveport location only because i have not been there yet.. but i am up for either location... i may take off friday and drive up early once we deside on a weekend to do it...

im prety sure my landy would be up for a scale comp, just not sure how that would go, sounds like it would be more like a tough truck competition.. in wich case we would definatly need jumps...

[Nova's Ark]

I voted for a Shreveport comp. If you guys do it in Shreveport, my son and I and at least two more crawlers would attend. We would be driving out from Tyler, TX. That would be four 2.2's and two supers. I could very possibly get a few more crawlers if it's in Shreveport and there are no scheduling conflicts with TXRCRCA or Mother's Day. I'm subscribed so I'll see what you guys decide.

[SACCO]

Shreveport is not very nice to scalers.


In the rules stated above, cc-01's wouldnt be allowed? We should definately allow em.

I vote for a GTG too, no "comp" wording of any kind

[bbyrd22]

GTG, points off. I'm down with it.

I'm good with any date except May 17th/18th.

We can set up like we did last year. Follow the leader type runs.

Of course, Scaler GTG means JAX, and I'll check the tide for water flow.

I'm good with a GTG in JAX or comp in Shreveport.

[bbyrd22]

But of course. Not sure what were doing yet though. Just keep checking in here.

Sweet! We should have a bonus gate/section in the H20!!



How about this, one L O N G 2.2 course at jax for pts/comp, then an all out scaler run. That way we wont take forever on the comp part and can have tons more fun.

20 gate or more course, no time limit, as usual. Depends on the setup. We could utilize the entire upper area for one monster course.

Then one more little course. A 3 gate run at the stair step wall. From the bottom rocks to the top of the wall.

Thats two courses, but one little run.

Then scale action.

May 31st????????????????????????
