First off, I am really happy to see acknowledgement that it is too much work for one person to do. It's a step in the right direction that needs to be followed through on. There is no way one person would be able to do everything needed to run an entire sanctioning body and make it succeed. All of my statements on rules committee was based strictly on observation, the observation still stands whether or not the new members were inducted today, last month, or last year; the pattern is still there. Also, removing krawlfreak for starting a controversial discussion goes against exactly what you said you wanted in a committee member. I still believe there needs to be members there from a larger spectrum of the comp crawling spectrum including both small and large vendors, top drivers, new drivers, judges, and event organizers. I understand that more members might make it harder to make quick decisions, they will however make it easier to make the best decisions. I do believe that deleting the threads were the wrong way to approach the situation. It comes off as trying to hide a problem instead of acknowledging it. Certain things need to be uncensored, the opinion of the people who make RCC and the USRCCA possible is one of them I also want to add that RC Crawling in general is facing a double edged sword at the moment. People don't want to put in the time, because others don't want to put in the effort. I am friends and or know many people in RC related media, and whenever I ask about crawling related coverage I get the same 2 responses; "we weren't approached about the event" or "no one has shown that there is any current interest." This is one of the issues needing addressing. Not only for the growth of the hobby but as a way to thank the vendors and drivers who have spent their money to support this segment of the hobby market As I have told you before for many years, I am happy to volunteer my assistance for anything you need assistance in. It was previously related to rules committee when you were solely in charge of that, and now includes anything usrcca related. If you ask and I am able to do it, I will. I want to see this segment of the RC industry grow, and will always do anything in my power to help. There is still time to turn this around, but things need to start now.

Seriously you need to call me back when I call you. I have had several things I want to run by you but you never called me back. Not blaming you in anyway, but I have reached out several times. | |

I don't have a phone number for you in my phone, and don't recall any voicemails ever. I feel for some reason the only contact outside of events we have ever had is through pm. You might have the wrong number for me. Also, I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know but will always call back after business hours to find out who or what called me. I am sending you my current number now, I would appreciate if you did the same

I normally don't get in on big debates, but something just jumped out at me while reading through this. Quote:
I say yes, we still have a body. Even though you cut out the roof, windows, hood, and sides, it is still a single piece of material. By what you quoted a body is, this fits that definition. That being said, I applaud you for being innovative and trying to find the edge, I just think you went a little past the edge with this one. | |

That definition can be one defintion of a body, but that defintion can also define more than just a body. That definiton can describe a unibody, which falls under the bodiless deminsions. also there is noting I found in the rules stating a body must be a single piece of material Last edited by rock hard; 11-26-2012 at 06:26 PM. |

| Re: Legal Body Panels Help Guide and Disscussion It actually doesnt have to have a skid so it can be used as is as a unidody ( so long as the min measurments are meet ), it may not hande the abuse, but I saw many carbon fiber cabs and chassis that also was unable to handle the abuse of a hard hit, and even one balsa prototype.

I have seen this before but didn't know if it was legal....so if the side panel is mounted on the inside of the cab allowing you to see a different color through the cutouts of the chassis is it still legal or does the panel have to be on the exterior of the chassis? I can post pics to help clarify my question if needed.

After reading the rules more closely, I think the answer comes from: ▪ 2.1.5.4 - All panels (roof, hood, and sides) must have at least 2x measurements greater than 1", and a minimum of 3.5 square inches of exposed solid surface area. The key words being Exposed Solid Surface Area. If the panels are mounted inside the chassis plates, you'd need an opening in the side large enough to fit within that rule. |

Thanks! I played it safe and put a clear panel on the outside and mounted my painted one on the inside.
