My thinking putting them in scaler is that they can be as detailed as a scaler and the definition of a scaler is to be realistic. So much to think about. Just got done with my new rig...only need to put the electronics and pic a body...hmmmm. |

No, These eliminate needing them. They are awesome. And less expensive than going with strait axles. |

Can I get some clarification on the Scaler class? I'm doing a roll cage, tube bumpers and possibly some rock sliders out of brakeline. If I attach these directly to my SW2 chassis does it qualify as a scaler? The body will have the roof removed but I'll run full fenders. Would this be Scale or considered a 2.2 Comp? Here's just the start: |

My tuber is a comp rig. Mike's looks more scale, but it's based on a comp chassis. It's gonna be hard to make a general rule when there are so many different kind of crawlers. Maybe run in both classes or just eliminate the scale class or limit it to 1.9's, leaf spung, frame railed or scale looking tubers? The rules state that you can't run one truck in two classes, but........it's up to WPAC what WE do! We are definately gonna have to discuss this on the 1st and see what everybody thinks.

So this would mean that the tubers would have to be leaf sprung as well? A leaf sprung rig has a disadvantage to a four linked rig. 1.9's give next to no ground clearence. And tube chassis would look retarded with the littler tires. Just my $.02. Quote:

for us in order to run in the scale class you have to have a ladder frame, like a bb51 or k2, or if its a tuber it should look like a real 1:1 rig. just my $.02. sods |

I know a lot of the scalers consider a tuber scale as long as it looks it. I would hate to lump the scalers in with the 2.2 comp rigs. Soooo many questions... | |

oh, one more thing regarding the "scale" class. we also require a chassis mounted steering servo. |

The way SERCRC handled this was, tubers like Coles, and mascman would be 2.2 crawlers. Scale wasn't big when I was in it, but that is how tubers like the ones causing use issues were handled.

John you didn't open a can of worms. You got everybody talking and that's what we need, everybodies opinion so we all can come to an agreement. We'll figure it out sooner or later! Hazzy it's looking pretty good. Did you get all the bugs worked out? How does it crawl? I have your tuber almost done. I'll need your tranny to finish it so I can see how to mount it. You'll be hearing from me in the next few days. Anybody find any more spots? I haven't had time to go out scouting. | |||

So what I'm getting from all of this is that I'm only causing myself a disadvantage by adding all the extra weight to make it look scale because it won't be considered a scaler. I should hack the body up and drop it as low as possible so it can compete with something like Coles that was designed with a very low center of gravity from the start? No offense, but that wasn't the type of rig I wanted. I wanted as much body and realism as I could get, but that would most likely cause poor performance compared to the tuber. I'm going to have to re-think what direction to go with my truck now. |
