so much for a stock class...... im gonna try to dig up some old Carbon fiber sheet ive cot around here and make a copy of my wedge with lowered shock mounts so i can run in droop and still have some ground clearance. First however i need more weight on the axles. lets see what i can come up with. |

im thinking of making a mold of the inside of the wheels and pouring some lead weights that fit inside the wheels and are held in there by some drilled washers like the ones neo made for his. The more i think about it i think there should only be one class and we should make some sort of points adjustment for those running stock a stock chassis. like a -5 starting point for those running the stock chassis. what yeall think? Also ill try to get the points sheet done tonight at work and get it posted for your approval. nap time later. bull |

A -5 "Handicap" for stock chassis sounds good to me.

I'm all for the handicap. The washers are just a normal 1/2" flat. I was anal and ordered the thicker ones, I get an extra .02" baby! Each one weighs in at 8 grams drilled. I'm thinking about tacking some together and drilling them out to clear the inside knuckles too. Project codename woodpecker is in prototype stage.

Lemme know for sure if your doing that Wed. ill come up early too if i dont gotta work. Yo Josh, i just found this, NOSTR uses it, only thing i see different is rollovers are 5, not 10 points. Which is fine with me lol. And progress points are 1, not 2. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...eet/Score1.jpg |
