No,mine was a TLT.And yes it came in at 6.5 pounds.Matter of fact every tube chassis crawler I've ever built has never weight more than 7 pds RTR. I work with compressed cylinders for Emergency Escape Slides and Lifrafts,so I have access to scales.

pics of the rubicon shell i will be using at moab. i'm sure it's legal, but just want to run it by the powers. the side and rear windows are cut out as well.

Someone asked me if there is a limit on tire weight. I didn't think there was but figured I'd ask.

PinchFlat · 07-28-2006, 09:27 AM

Everyone... If your worried about your body not within the guidelines, just bring another body for backup. And remeber ... if you want to push the limits you may get screwed and there are no hobby shops in moab to buy a different body.

NaZ-T... I kind of like the idea of a tire weight limit. OR ... even a crawler weight minimum (like the big boys).

We haven't figured out how to enforce a rule that's already in place and y'all are wanting to add more rules!?!?

I think if a guy wants to add a pound of weight to each of his tires he should be allowed to do so. He's only screwing himself.... when his pig won't pull itself up a rock!

TRUE!

NaZ-T · 07-28-2006, 04:53 PM

I don't want to add any rules. Someone asked if they had a limit on tire weight at the nationals and I wasn't sure so I wanted to double check.

Yes I agree if they want to run a pound of weight let 'em.

So as far as the nationals are concerned there is NO limit on tire weight, right?????

BENDER · 07-30-2006, 06:11 PM

There's no tire weight rule. I suggest people go with round concrete slugs.

OK, if there are no ojections, my freshly painted "Nationals winning body" will be trimmed exactly the same as this one......

I just don't see how that should be ok.

X2........the cab needs to be closer to a real vehicle

according to the rules this one is very marginal

it is supposed to represent a real vehicle

rockwerks · 08-21-2006, 10:02 AM

reading the intent of the rules, none of these bodies would pass the 70% rule. and 70% is of surface area not weight.

The cab is intact, the sides are there but are folded under.

What's not OK about it? This thread has been here for weeks, I had at least 3 people that regularly compete say the body was perfectly legal in their opinions, now that the event is almost here people are nit-picking......

Time is running out. I am going to have to paint another body to keep the crybabies happy?

I hope that's legal because it was posted earlier that it was. Mine is cut the same.

Reading the intent of the rules? :?

So I could add a Proline cargo rack to my body and bump my surface area back up to over 100%?
