As mentioned - Rules for this first season are very lose. But do not let the word "Rules" worry you. Just bring your rig out and have fun!

Class Descriptions:
Class-2 “Trail”- 1.9s
• Description - A stock vehicle that has been modified to become a capable trail rated rig and is not necessarily street legal .
Example - Stock Honcho,G6Jeep, or TrailFinder...

Class-3 “Modified” - 2.2s
• Description - An off-road vehicle that you would build from the ground up and might see in a TTC/KOH type competition.
Example - Wraith,TwinHammer,Custom built Tube Monster...

General Vehicle Details
• Vehicles must resemble a real 1:1 rig. It will be up to the collective group to vote on whether a questionable rig is accepted or not.
• Tire size will be determined by advertised manufacturer specs (tires without available specs will be measured off the truck as mounted on the wheel laid flat).
• No TVP (twin vertical plate) chassis' or frame rail extensions on a TVPs. Tub chassis' are allowed, but chassis must be covered by the body and follow all other rules per class guidelines. An example of a tub chassis vehicle is CC-01, DF01, Twin Hammers, etc.
• 4-wheel steering or dig is allowed in modified class only (you must choose 1 per course).
• No "Motor On Axle" (MOA) of any kind.
• There are no wheel size distinctions. For example, you can run a 1.55, 1.9, 2.0 or 2.2 rim in any class. Wheels larger than 2.2 are not allowed in any class and no short course style wheels with split diameters.
• Any functional recovery tools you wish to use during your run, you must carry it on your rig at all times. IE tow strap, pull pal, and sand ladders.
• Winching can only be performed off of natural objects (i.e. trees, rocks, etc…),. Winching off of a person such as their shoe or hand is not allowed.
• All vehicles should have the motor, transmission, and electronics covered and hidden when viewed from the top and sides. Batteries must be chassis mounted and should be hidden from view.
• Tires should be scale appearing, if it is questionable have it reviewed before the event, or plan to run a different tire.

Class-2 “Trail” Details:
• Body/cage work must be at least 4.5" tall (including boat sides) and the inside of the front tires cannot extend outside of the width of the cab at the doors.
• A front bumper is required and must be mounted to the vehicle's rail chassis and must be wider than the outside of the chassis rails (chassis cross rails do not count as bumpers).
• You must run a full rail chassis, and the chassis (including bumpers) must be longer than the wheelbase (this includes a chassis with a truggy rear frame).
•Truggies are allowed, but you must replace the ladder frame behind the cab with tube, and the truggy rails must extend past the rear axle pumpkin to be legal. The bed must have a roll bar hoop and integrated shock mounts.
• Flatbeds that run the full length of the rail chassis are allowed. The bed must be as wide as the cab the entire length of the bed.
• 2 of the 3 following modifications are allowed:
Dovetailing the rear / Boat sides / Pinched front
• 120mm / 4.75" max tire size.
• Gates will be a minimum of 12" wide (so mind your width).

Class-3 “Modified” Details:
• A bumper is not required.
• Class 3 body minimum specs:

• All bodies (including tubers) must measure a minimum of five inches wide from front to rear of door, measure a minimum of 4.5 inches tall as measured from the skid to the tallest point on the body (including light bars), and must be at least as long as the vehicle's wheelbase.
• Body modifications including, but not limited to:
pinched front / dove-tailing and boat-siding are permitted as long as the final dimensions comply with the minimum size rules
• 146mm / 5.75" max tire size with a 2.2 max rim size.
• Gates will be a minimum of 13" wide.

Rivas Concepts has been sick and just gave me a yell....
9am meet time at Cliff Shadow this Saturday.
We will start a quick drivers meeting at 9:10.

With how many people have been asking for a local monthly comp we wanted to get a many people together to go over the basic rules and how it all works.
Now everyone always hates reading rules and figuring it out.
Don't stress - as long as it is a scaler, You WILL be fine. Just show up and have some fun with us!!

More Saturday - see y'all on the rocks. Anthony has reached out and this is sure to be a great season.

I'm planning in being there about a little early. All depends on weather.

The whole plan for this weekend was to go over the basic of the rules, maybe pre tech some rigs, answer questions.
And of course dodge some cones.

Ill set up a course or two but it will be free ran no full scoring.

I'm afraid not - Vegas hasn't had any comp crawlers for a few years now. Hell I have an XR10 still sitting in the box since axial released it.
Your more than welcome to bring it out and have some fun, but you wouldn't be able to compete. You would kill us. Lol

Hell if we had 5-6 heads that wanted to comp them, I would love to build mine - And we could run a points series with them.
Your local I take it - I'm horrible at screen names to faces.

Sounds good I will show up either way. Are there any other comp guys that want to get another class going? I think Brad from hobbytown might be interested...
