| Re: 2016 season Radio Control Rock Crawling rule changes
With the new body rules for 2.2S, I thought I'd try out a mini body to see how it looks. Body is 8.5" long, 3.25" wide and 3" high including chassis. It's a TA body for the 18T and certainly a cheap option at $10 Personally, I'm all for the more relaxed rules for body dimensions, but it's going to take a while to get used to the new look. It's rather cartoonish. |

| Re: 2016 season Radio Control Rock Crawling rule changes Certainly doesn't look to have a 1" hood/roof seperation.

I don't see where it says Body's must have that separation. Last edited by Robbob; 10-13-2015 at 05:35 AM. | |

I think maybe this. Below does sound like a bodiless guidelines. Question I have is this for both Bodied & bodiless rigs? I'd assume yes for both Bodied & bodiless rigs. Last edited by tapped-out; 10-13-2015 at 10:45 AM. |

Correct, the 1" roof over hood measurement is for all vehicles regardless of body/bodiless style.

OK, that TA body doesn't quite cut it then. .8" from base of windshield to top of roof. Let's see what else is out there.

| Re: 2016 season Radio Control Rock Crawling rule changes But the 2.1.5 rule clearly state roof over chassis! The hood isn't mentioned other than that it must exist. With a body the hood can be located above or below the chassis. Even on a bodiless design the hood can be placed underneath some chassis beam. |

Yes, it is a bit contradictory. I think the 2.1.5 rule was originally designed for bodiless.

| Re: 2016 season Radio Control Rock Crawling rule changes
Measured vertically from where the hood intersects the cab. Therefore, roof measurement is in relation to the hood, which on a bodiless is also the chassis.

Sumquak has been looking for a while..... I'm not sure what he's come up with outside of the lattice innovations body "the derringer" which meats this requirement. I don't know what the answer is, but I think that TA body looks a bit better than the trimmed up exciter. | |

| Re: 2016 season Radio Control Rock Crawling rule changes
I am building a rig now and just want to clarify, The body requirerments for bodyless chassis have been removed? so, you no longer need a hood, roof or side panels on bodyless rigs? can i run my chassis without any skins as long as it meets the minimum dimensions? just want to get it right the first time. also when do the rules go into effect?

I still think side panels help with sliding around jaggies and certainly a covered roof slides a lot better when trying to upright your truck. Personally, for the little extra weight the panels are, I'll keep 'em mounted. They also add some much-needed color to the truck.
