Rules Question - Reverse

[Culetto]

Normally this is only on super class rigs but any dual esc rig can do it.

Running the front esc in forward and the rear esc in reverse. Should this count as a reverse if the truck is not moving backwards?

1.2 - Back Up/ Reverse:

(1 pt) point is given when a vehicle reverses course after making forward progress.
Reversing is defined as at any time if the tires move the vehicle backward or spin in the reverse direction,
whether intentional or not. Once a reverse penalty is given, no further reverse penalty can be given until
the vehicle makes forward progress. No penalty is given if the backward movement is part of a penalized

rollover. (See Reverse examples and explanations, sec. 7.1.)

7.1.6 -

Reverse penalties are assigned at the Judge’s discretion if the actions performed by the

vehicle/driver are not clearly defined by the rule.

[Tanis]

Anytime a tire rotates backwards is a reverse.
