Re: 2013 scale rules discussion or question thead class 2? • Flatbeds that run the full length of the rail chassis are allowed. The bed must be as wide as the cab the entire length of the bed. http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz276/crawle/s-4.jpg would i not get flatbed points for this or could it be grouped in with the below statement and still get flatbed points? - Dovetailing the rear *a truggy/tube bed that is narrower than the cab counts as a dovetail |
Re: 2013 scale rules discussion or question thead I have never understood this, you get -3 for having a functional winch, yet every time you use it, you get +3. Why is that? Isn't the time it takes you to use it penalty enough? |

I guess my point is why follow a size that's not real? So if I build a set of super swamper sx's using the sidewall from a new pitbull2 I'm not legal if I make it the same size as the pitbull2. Something seems off with a rule that allows the supplier to make up what ever they want on the package of the product. |

You could stuff a tire with enough foam to make it out of spec, thus why we go by factory specs. I don't have a pitbull in front of me to measure. If it hasn't been mod, there would be no need to measure it cause we go by the factory specs. A pic of your over sized pitbull would be cool. |
Re: 2013 scale rules discussion or question thead • Tube fenders: Must be mounted to chassis - metal -1 (per pair) What's the reasoning for this. On the JK tube fenders on a real 1:1 are fender mounted, but yet on a 1:10 they have to be chassis mounted. That's one of the popular body's out there. The only time I really see a tube fender chassis mounted is on a tuber or a truck that has a full exo cage. So again I ask what's the reasoning for this? |

Re: 2013 scale rules discussion or question thead Don't mention Class 3 Tim!!! |
Re: 2013 scale rules discussion or question thead I woke up this morning expecting all hell to break loose and there was no mention. Either it's easy to understand or people completely glossed over it "thumbsup". |

Re: 2013 scale rules discussion or question thead Seen it. I fall within spec. I think it should keep the 1/12 bodies off AR60 axles now. :ror: |

Re: 2013 scale rules discussion or question thead I think the easiest way to check the Class 3 width restrictions is to buy a piece of 5/8" dowel 18" long. Drop it between the body and your tires on one side. If it hits the axle.... too wide, if it gets stuck.... you're legal! Check the other side just to make sure. Of course there will be instances where the axle won't be perfectly centered on the body (due to builder error or other reasons :oops:) but the dowel is an easy way to check real quick. |

if i have 7 inch from inside to inside..... and i subtract 1.25 inches per side..... being 2.5 inches total, this leaves me with 4.5 inches.... but the min of the body must be a min of 5 inches.... so if i ran a body of 5 inches wide with a width of 7 inches between inside to inside of each tire this will leave me with 1 inch per side between body and inside of tire. The max is 1.25 inches so im not seeing how the body would have to be a width of 5.75 and not just the min of 5 inch. also if i went with the min body of 5 inch and then added the max of 1.25 per side I would end up with the min i could run between tire to tire would be 7.5 inches and the example is a half inch under that measurement. So this would mean with the narrowest you could go with your measurement between tire to tire with the narrowest body width would be 7.5 inches or am i getting to the end of all this and realizing that you are saying 1.25 total??? LOL. Me math and driving down the road texting all of this is retarded. also just so im clarified on this..... we measure from the inside of the tire??? or the rim? if so how do i get an exact number of this??? do i measure where the tire is not contacting the ground? what if a rig is toed in or out? And some of the foam and tire combo allow to slide the foam around and actually move the tire one way or the other. I just want to be clear on this before i start setting my offsets on my rims and such. "thumbsup" |
