ORCRC hits up the Lazy M Farms 10/10/2004... PICTURES!

[toyofast]

Few of us showed up to play for a couple hours out at the Lazy M Farms. This place is a great location, if you happen to have a go fast nitro truck or buggy(1/10 or 1/8 ) this is the place for ya too. Two very large tracks to hual arse on and he has a small crawling area that is growing slowly.







Anyway I know how much you guys like it when I just type way Go ahead and scroll down to the pics




















Ooh Vance has some high clearance links...












My title was stolen!








Less bush is better











Now... thanks to Ryan, he has made it to where at least 3-4 other ORCRC guys are out shopping for TLT parts since we decided upon a new class for competitions. SCALE CLASS

Few basic rules that have been drafted up today by ORCRC:

1) Must use TLT axles
2) No gear reductions are allowed!
3) Must use a body that looks scale
4) Must have it look scale(axles in the correct places under the body)
5) 2.2 tires but limited to only 3 choices.. swamp dawgs, Geolanders and Mashers
6) Must carry all needed extracting tools on rig(winch, straps, planks, etc)

Events will be ran in teams... 2 trucks, 2 drivers = one team.
It'll be ran similar to the Team Trophy Challenge that happens every year here in the PNW that draws people from around the world.


It's all because of this rig..... that we are out spending $$$$



















Basicly when Ryan brought out the Cruiser everyone stopped what they were doing to watch. Now, we all have to play catch up to his rig! I expect that in the next 2 weeks you all shall see at least 2-3 more scale rigs popping up from the ORCRC gang

It'd be nice!

My TLT should be here mid-week and I already have my scale chassis with winch bumper bolted in place. Just need a body, extra servo, ESC and some tires/wheels! I hope by the end of the week I'll have something to play with.... my wife gave me a funny look when I told about buying another truck, good thing she doesn't really know how much this all costs

But those don't as scale.... but after reading Ryan's updated Scale Class rules that we've come up with it seems that he has allowed all 2.2's. We'll just have to see how this class of rigs turn out.

2) The team will run the course together, trying for the quickest and cleanest run. The team to finish the course in the quickest time and with the fewest roll-overs will win. Both trucks must cross the finish line. Roll-overs are a heavier penalty than time- IE the team with fewer roll-overs and a longer time will beat a team with more roll-overs and a shorter time.

3) All vehicles MUST RUN :

-TLT, Robbe Panther or Bruiser Axles (You may widen the axle, but it must look realistic under your body)

-2.2" Tires. (The tallest tire allowed is the Proline Masher 2000. Anything smaller is fine)

-No gear reductions allowed.

And the trucks MUST look realistic. (You know what I mean!)
There is no limit on chassis or transmission or anything else.

4) The operator of the truck may not touch the vehicle in the event of a roll-over or 'stuck' situation. The vehicle must be rescued via winch or tow strap or by the other truck in the team with similar recovery gear.

5) Ramps, Sand Ladders, Tow straps and other aids may be carried and placed by the operator, just like full-scale wheeling. Said ramps MUST be carried on the vehicle!

Additional ideas:

-"Tree straps" (A length of string to wrap around an object in case your winch isnt long enough).
- Have hooks on your chassis to attach the tow straps to.
- Lights look cool and add realism.

I'm glad I got folks excited about scale trucks- I think it'll be loads of fun and a nice alternative to the Unlimited trucks!

PS: I have just made Tamiya Pajeros legal for the class, as long as no one objects...

I was out crawling my Jeep Jero today and It still amazed me.I when allmost every where mt TLT with 2.2 tires would go.I have a winch all ready I just need to figure out a switch so I can have foward and reverse.I think a Jero with 2.2 tires would work real good ,Just not as Scale.The BFG's On the Jero are about as scale as U can Get . Theres Still no other Crawlers Up here .We all got Jeeps ,Now I gotta Get them To built small Scale Jeeps .

Yes. We'd prefer to see bodies that are also some-what common to the rigs that go 1:1 wheelin'.

I was thinking about running a Mounty body, just the front cab and fenders and build a flat bed for it..... but I found a better body, one that no one will be running

[yoda316]

umm i was just wondering why that land crusier tlt has 3 swamp dawgs and 1 masher. and how did the tire come unglued?
