does scale hardware in wheels count as a functional item?

Did you have your scale mechanic use his scale socket and wrench to install them?

Sorry - The door was open so I had too.....

I will let the big boys give the final word, but they all would only be worth a single point. Same as shackles or any other item that comes in multiples.

Forgive me if this has been covered. If the advertised specs of a tire specifically the new Proline SX Swamper XLs are 4.75" tall they're legal for class 2? (just wanted to be sure)

one thing i have wondered about is truggy frames. i get -4 for the truggy, but is that all i can get out of the rear?

can i add points for rollbar, rear shock mounts and bumper?

bumper would be one i think my truggy especially should be eligible for because the frame rail structure comes out to a point and the upper section forms a sort of tub creating a bumper, wider than the frame.

whats the ruling here?

His work is incredible and I asked this same question on his build thread and figured I'd throw it up here and see what you guys think. It's tube but doubled up like frame rails. Would this be considered legal in class 2 under the current rules?

that chassis is pretty rad... but seeing as it's made of tube/rod unfortunately it would be illegal in class 2

A quick question regarding wheel/tire combos. In C1 it limits the rim size to 1.9. but if someone (me) was to run a 2.2 rim with a class legal 1.9 tire stretched on, why would that not be legal as long as it still complies with the outer diameter/width limits?

There are no wheel size distinctions. For example, you can run a 1.55, 1.9, 2.0 or 2.2 rim in any class. Wheels larger than 2.2 are not allowed in any class and no short course style wheels with split diameters.
