~~ MNRCRC 2.2 Sportsman Summer/Fall Season ~~ Who is planning on being in the 2.2 Sportsman class for the next season? |
I don't think I'll have the time to get the dig in before the second half of the yr. need to get a servo mount for the DNA dig that was so generously donated to me,( thanks Stormin),and change my tranny around ( have it in backwards to move motor weight up front. Working on a bathroom remodel/expansion. if time will allow, I would like to step up, but don't see that happening. Oh yeah still need to find a job too...:shock: |
So does that mean your intending to defend your championship? Didn't I give you the mount? |
Quote:
as far as the mount, nope just got the dig from you. If you have one laying around that your not going to use let me know."thumbsup" |
I'm sorry I thought I'd given you the mount to you as well. I'll find it send me your mailing Addy and I'll send one to you...."thumbsup" So are you driving sportsman Summer/Fall? Simple question. :lmao: Greg and I have been talking about joining the sportsman class even though we'd both like to see a separate 2.2 shafty class without any monkey ass restrictions. You know a real shafty extravaganza. :cry: Never ther less is would be fun compete 2.2 shaft trucks driver to driver in a better paired class. We may even see some past members make come backs which would be cool. |
[QUOTE=Stormin2u;2527519] So are you driving sportsman Summer/Fall? Simple question. :lmao:QUOTE] YES...:flipoff: sooooo...........the servo mount can wait, I'll get it from you at a comp."thumbsup" X2 on the shafty thing."thumbsup""thumbsup" but that is a subject no-one wants to talk about. Ever notice its the MOA drivers that don't want to talk about it......:flipoff: |
Stormin.. Your truck works way to good to be held back to Sportsman "thumbsup" I thought if a person wins Sportsman they bump up to Pro? |

Looks like TomE can defend the title!! Show 'em it wasn't a fluke bud "thumbsup" |
[QUOTE=Nicklepimp;2527745] The intent was to prevent anyone from dominating the sportsman class, when they probably belong in the Pro class. QUOTE] Then what happens when someone dominates the pro class ( start a new class?) Thats cool , I can move up to the pro class. No fear of me winning there."thumbsup" maybe next yr I'll have the new XR-10, so I might have a chance to crack the tep 10....:lmao: |

Um, no. The Pro class will be the top class no matter what. Let's say Gary decided to step down to sportsman and he easily won every comp and blew away the competition in the points series. Would it be fair to the other sportsman to get their ass kicked every comp by Gary when he clearly belongs in the pro class? No. The sportsman class is intended to be a step down from the pros where people with similar capabilities can compete against each other, not another class for the top drivers to dominate. |
I don't think anyone is calling me a top driver yet are they? If you guys think I'm that good let me know, I'll jump to pro no problem."thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" we all know I won the first sportsman series by default (basiclly), but my rig and myself are both getting better. If one win is considerd dominating, then to the pro cass I will go. |
Just run what your comfortable with. "thumbsup" I'd like to see you win Sportsman again.. But that's only so your not beating me "thumbsup" |

I comfy with kick'n butt, sportsman or pro...:flipoff: |

I do agree with you totally about body/tuber/TVP thing that's a total hot mess. I have to be 12.5 long 5 wide and 3 high with a lexan body but with a tuber and TVP I get treated to another advantage size. I believe that the WCC structure had a Pro Open (Shafty/MOA), Pro shafty (Shafty only), Sportsman (no dig) and Rock Candy class. Most of us MNRCRC shafty drivers get all excited when we can even finish a course at a MNRCRC comp and to add insult to injury the top MOAs drivers are posting double digit negative scores. Opinions are like shoes ever body has at least two. |

Comp 6-WildBill was within 4 points of 1st Comp 5-Greg took 2nd Comp 4-Max2884 took 3rd Comp 3-Cole took 3rd Comp 2-Steve took 1st Comp 1-Aric took 3rd All of them Shaftys. Who says they can't hang?:flipoff: |
Yes very good drivers all and good rigs sure you bet and on a good day they can get close but not consistently. Remember this is only opinion for a discussion. I believe were missing a opportunity and a great battle for the top spots at the end of the season in a shaft truck open class. It could even possibly increase regular membership. Sportsman is a start and it offers a place to do that but most shafty drivers don't like being restricted. The connotation is that it's for beginners and is discouraging. I'm not sure why this is such a hotly debated topic it seems the WWC has addressed it all perfectly with something for everyone IMO the USRCCA is stubbornly refusing to recognize the opportunity. Answer me this Kevin if there so competitive and equally paired why don't you drive one? |
IMO.....as far as realism, there is no MOA style truck/rigs in any 1:1 rock crawling events. That being said, I think it is great that as a RC hobby we CAN do it. BUT, if anyone every puts electric motors on axles in a 1:1 rig, I would be willing to bet everything I own that it would not be in the same class as SHAFT rigs. (at least not if they have more than a couple) MOA's only excist in the RC hobby, there for should not be held back by 1:1 type rules and regulations JUST SAYING..........:idea: |
