All Classes are required to have the following attached or carried in the vehicle including a 2D or 3D interior. A driver &/or passenger is not mandatory, but highly recommended.

Show & Shine categories are “Best in Show”, “Most Trail Ready”, & “Peoples Choice”. Guest Judges will vote on the Best in Show & Most Trail Ready, but the public will determine who takes home the Peoples Choice award.

Trials Sections - Drivers will be judged. Penalties will be assessed for hitting a gate marker, course ribbon, and/or the driver has to upright their vehicle on course. Ties will be broke by the time.

Pull Sled - Drivers will have one attempt at a full pull. Once forward momentum has stopped, the attempt is over and the distance will be recorded. Full Pulls will result in a pull off to determine the winner.

Mud Pit - Drivers will have one attempt to complete the mud pit. The quickest time wins or the furthest distance travelled. A tie will result in another run to break the tie.

Scale Drag Race - Drivers will draw for lane choice. Each driver will enter the staging area to start the race. A red light will result in a DQ. Points will be given for a win or lose. The 16 fastest times will be placed in a shootout to determine the winner. The course will consist of a variety of terrain. Good Luck & Have Fun.

Driver Challenge - Drivers will have an opportunity to perform a task for additional points.

The 25 Drivers earning the most combined points out of all the disciplines will advance to the Finals on Sunday. The Drivers points will resest and the driver with the most points will be crowned the 2015 US RC Scale Trials Champion.

Clarification question for Parker. When we talked you said to me no 1.9 tires stretched on 2.2 wheels. Does the same go for 1.55 tires stretched on 1.9 wheels? I know we are going for stockish scale realism with the ST and Open Class. I am being asked questions I do not have answers for.

I have a rule of thumb, Keep it scale. It looks scale to me. I just seen a JK with 22s. How well it works, who knows, but we will find out.

[winnerone23]

One more for ya Parker..

What decides which rig is ran in the classes?

Like: I would want to run my TF2 in ST class and enter it in show an shine.

My scx in open class, mud bog, drag race, and pulling.

Is that the competitor's choice or are there set things each is put in?

Thanks

Troy

Troy, A driver will use the same truck for each stage. The emphasis is on scale trials, so each stage will be geared for maximum driving. Scale mud depth, sled weight will be class specific, the trials courses will have a heavy European influence all focused on fun!

I am not a big fan of rig carnage. Driving ability and vehicle capability will be tested and those drivers that can balance those two things, will be crowned champion. Breakage will occur. Murphy is going to ride shotgun with a driver a three, but drive smart & you will be fine. Stomp and Steer driving style in the Drag race, you may be in the pits replacing an axle with the roar of the crowd still causing your ears to ring.

OH MY!

Great looking rigs!

[Scionizer07]

If I wasn't racing I'd be all over this! Hope to check it out!

[sgil2001]

I have a question about tires. I registered for the open class and I have a honcho with 1.9 tires with cut tread. Is that permitted?
