70%

[Kranberry]

ihave a question, could some one tell me is this 70% or not

[Robb]

Do you know what 70% means?




That looks like 90% to me.

[Kranberry]

let me clear up the Q is there 70% left or did i remove to much

[dezfan]

It meats the 70% rule.

But it isn't 1/10 scale.

[theshimonator]

It is a 1:12 WK body. The rules call for a 1:10 body or larger.

It is sold as a 1/12 scale body, although it is the same size or larger than some of the "1/10" scale bodies that are sold.

I would allow it at a local comp, but I don't know what the decision would be at say the Nationals?

ohh right i never new that... i thought it was a 1:10th scale truck.... thanks for pointing that out for me robb.

That body is well over 70% intact.

The WK body thing came up with our club, and I agree that it should be allowed at local comps, as it doesn't present a competitive advantage, and generally fits the assumed intent of the rules.

Some in our club disagreed, saying the 1:10 means 1:10, but then you would need to decide if you judge scale by the body's proportions in relation to it's full scale sibling, or by whatever the manufacturer decided to market it as.

Here's my WK body compared to a couple of 1:10 scale bodies.

i prolly wont be at the nationals this time

Looks bigger than a 1/10th scale stadium truck body to me, and I would say it is within the 70% rule.

I agree, but it is sold as 1/12 scale*gasp*!

Just goes to show how far off some of the scale designations are!

[JohnRobHolmes]

Well, it is 12th scale MONSTER truck!

Since it looks like you are from Utah and that's where you would be using it I wouldn't worry about it. I'm 99% sure that no one would have a problem with it.

yeah if you put the Wheely Kings body nexta to a Bronco or Rubicon (which are 1/10) you will see the size difference...

does anyone have a photo to prove it?

aren't those bodies sold as 1/8th scale monster truck bodies? I thought the revo bodies were 1/10th and the savage bodies were 1/8th? I know that scale wise they are 1/10th but that logic would hold true for the 1/12 monster truck body also. The Esavage is a 1/10th.
