WOW Dez, how does it feel to have the same approval rating with scale guys as Obama has in the state of Texas? |

I've said from the start that "Scale rules" are an oxymoron. Scale is subjective and all the issues that have been brought to light prove it. I applause you guys for trying, but there is way to much personal opinion involved to try and regulate it. | |

Why don't you simply buy a set of 1.9 tires that you like and stretch them over the 2.2 bead? That way you can run your precious wheels. | |

Unfortunately, you guys can't seem to see the forest for the trees. Scale has grown exponentially BECAUSE people just wanted to have fun, get together w/ their buds and play around on the rocks. They wanted to get away from the complexity of comp rules and way that they destroyed the aspect of having fun. I guees it's true that history has a way of repeating itself. | ||

| Not at all. What I'm saying is that "regulating" ever aspect of a "Scale" rig is counter productive. The new rules are much much better, but as you can see from many of the response, questions, comments, etc... It's very difficult to come to a point of agreement when the subject is so subjective and open to interpretation. IMO, a very simple set of "guidelines" is more appropriate to this genre. Scale is much more about free expression, divergence, and individuality. To force people to "conform" (which I've seen referenced several times) to rules instead of the rules conforming to what people wish to build is going to lead to animosity and resentment toward those rules. I feel like some on the committee are taking this personal, it's not. I just think that we need to be very careful how this is approached and implemented. |

At this point, I'm not sure. The rules are already in place, and the wheels are in motion(i.e. builds, events, etc..). I guess the only thing to do is sit back and see how it plays out. Hopefully the rules have been relaxed enough to allow for the individuality and uniqueness of the builds and builders to continue to prosper. I would really hate to see the "scale" competition vehicle turn into so many cookie cutters rigs like the comp classes have become. |

I think yall did a great job with the rules and kept them nice and simple. I'm not a big fan of the bonus system in general, but I like the class designations and rules. |

Though I do agree that it'd suck to have some uber strict scale rules. I think the new set is pretty flexable. Enough guidelines to keep rigs in order without limiting creativity. I am a little bummed that you only get a bonus for leaf springs while everything else (mainly 3 link/panhard bar) is lumped in with plain 'ol 4 links... | ||
