[bustedcrawler]

What's the difference between 4WD (clod size tire) and 4WD Extreme?

[Rckcrwlr]

Threw the question out on RCMT...I will let you know.

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

Not bad at all. Great group of guys. Several of the guys from SVSC should be there...Also, 1badjeepbruiser, should be there too.

Scope the rigs for the States...

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

haha, yeah, if you qualify for them!!

(is that how states is going to work? top 5 or 10 from each club?)

well, at least i have what, 1 or 2 more comps (besides MJ8 ) before the first states event to up my points standings, right?

This is not linked to our points race.

States will be freestanding. We will all start at zero.

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

i did not know that, now i feel good.... yay!

[rockbound]

so what day would be better to come out, i can only make one day i am thinking sunday sounds like the better day?

[bustedcrawler]

I am only planning on Sunday. Rockbound you might be able to carpool with Lewis, Mz Ruby, and myself. Depending on space in the car, and how much stuff they want to drag out there.

[Rckcrwlr]

Sunday is the day...get there early to see some sick Clod Drag Racing.

Busted,
No on the shocks, yes on the shims...

[phat crawler]

can i race my stock rustler with the stampedes?

[LEWIS]

im going up sat to check it out . also it looks like u can practise on sat. not sure that means every thing ?

[phat crawler]

my sw3 is now complete all i need is some motor wire plugs to install my mamba max ........this sw3 is by far the best crawler ive owned to date and i think im going to work in the morning and buying a new 4wd wheelie king. ill probably just upgrade the links to traxxas rod ends and have a little fun with it before i chop it. lol.......my girl or i cant wait till monster jam to get some real scores that last coarse at the dam was insane ......

Here is your answer:

The difference between 3 and 4 are what you are allowed to do to the trucks. #3 is for 4WD trucks with Clod sized tires and can have any combination of *2* of the 3 major modifications.........which are:
1. 4WS
2. Locked Diffs
3. Gear Reductions

If your truck has all 3 of those, then it *must* go into the Extreme class. I would like to see Digger drop a line on this as he is the Trials course and rules guru.

One major difference is the course layout too. All classes run the same layout except for Extreme.....where extra obstacles are placed on the course. These obstacles are usually *very* difficult and unless it is an extreme crawler rig, it will not have a chance at negotiating it. A lot of times the extreme rigs have trouble on them.

So, the #3 class 4WD Trials is just for your "run-of-the-mill" 4WD Clod sized trucks. We did have them and the 2.2 4WD's lumped together and many felt it should be split up so that is what we did. The 2.2's were getting stomped badly by their bigger brothers.
