Sport Class

[666]

This thread is a feeler to see how much interest there is in a Sport Class at Rocas Rojo Numero Dos.

The defination of Sport class for this comp will be using all 2.2 rules, but no MOA, no dig.

Post up if you would like to run!

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

Will this be a shafty no dig class.

[Fishmaxx]

If its a No Dig - No MOA - No Losi Class the answer is YES

Couldn't agree more. With Losi's coming along strong and their team getting them very competitive with Bergs...time for the losi to be excluded.

It'll be a no dig class, no moa class, not sure why you'd ban a losi as long as they had their dig locked out.

I can turn my dig off on my Berg also. Losi trucks are almost as capable as Berg's. Major Comp results speak for themselves. Berg and Losi are the only thing in the TOP 25.

If I am going dust off AX10 or TLT , and drag it half way across the country it won't be to run against Losi Comp Crawlers. I can do that in 2.2 Comp class

666 ask if there was interest, and I just replied how I would be interested

Yes, but as I know that you are aware a Losi has a mechanical link between the front axle, tranny, and rear axle. It is a shafty through and through. It does well against the bergs because it has front and rear dig. Have you tried driving a losi and not using the dig at all?

[666]

We let Losi's w/out dig run in our local Sport class, and I don't see any reason why they can't at this comp, I really don't see much of an advantage of them vs. the Axial's that run with them.

I guess I should rephrase my definition of the 2.2 Sport class, same as most all 2.2 rules, but no dig, no MOA. That is what the rules say right?

[crawlertech]

I will be down for a simpltins class.

So following that logic if AX10's had Front and Rear dig they would still be competitive with Bergs

Its funny that you are on the rules committee and you are whining about the rules,.

With a tire mounted, no exterior component of the wheel, including but not limited to, the bead lock ring shall exceed 2.55". Tires may be modified from other sized tires using only a pliable rubber, but must not exceed a total uncompressed outer diameter of 6 inches.
o 2.5.4 - Vehicles are limited to 2-wheel steering only. o 2.5.5 - 2.2 Crawler class bodiless overall dimension of the complete chassis must be at least 8"overall length, 3"

I read the rules...have you?

No MOA is not in the rules!

Everyone seems to automatically assume it is.

Single Motor is an OPTION

If you re-read the ENTIRE thread you will see I just stated I would interested if it was more of an "OLD SCHOOL" class. Then others proceeded to tell me my opinion was wrong. SC was setup as a "gateway class" for local clubs to use, so IMHO Sportsman Class at a National Level Comp is a waste of time . I am sorry but running a 2 year old truck against Jay, Jake, and Nabil's Comp trucks with disconnected digs just doesn't excite me. If thats what you call whining ...then
