This is a good example.

This would work too if your body closes the top.

Hey that second pic is of my rig. I did something right Did you see those awsome sliders on it

[sgtbham]

That was a helpful question! I was kinda dreading making perfectly round inner wheel wells - Now I see that I can just do it like Hotwheels! (I prefer the look of his anyway)

The wire from the LED will be hidden soon im waiting on light buckets to arrive and i understand what you mean about hiding everything. Thanks for all your help

Do you know if this is a valid class 3 rig and if you think it could hang at all?

Got a couple questions
1. In class 2 it states the inside of front tires cannot exceed width of doors. Is this measured at the bottom of door or top of door.
2. I have a winch that moves from front to rear with a reciver hitch does this give u winch scale points for front and rear?

Thanks for the help guys

Measure the doors at the widest point.
And only counts as one winch for scale points but that is one smart idea.

Yes it would if you use over a 4.75" tire. It might hang, but with that wheelbase, getting through gates could be tricky. That thing is huge! Very cool!

Any status updates on this?

(120mm vs. 121mm tire size for Class II)

Haha, its actually sitting on 2.2 ripsaws in that pic

Is a tube bed allowed in Class 1?

In other words can you use the Honcho body and bed in Class 1 as is?

Not yet, but 1mm is not a big deal. Also, most if not all of the 1.9 tires used are marked 4.75" as well.

Yea I seen that. It's going to need the max C3 tire at 5.75" and that will still be small. I know the Rip Saws are said to be 5.5" but they measure out at 5.25".

No, the tube bed does not meet C1 requirements. However, you could use the Honcho cab with a flatbed.

I've got a stupid ? I've seen happen a lot and everyone seems to have there on opinion on it... I didn't see anywhere in the rules where it clarifies this situation unless I'm just missing it somewhere ?

So on with the ? Say your at a CL 1 event with lots of sticks, small rocks, etc... So your tire pushes a stick or something and moves the gate ? Would it or would it not be considered a gate ?

No it should not be a gate. Your vehicle or something that is attached to your vehicle (winch, winch line, etc.) should have to touch it. Putting gates in a scurry field is just poor course design IMO, unless there is no way to avoid it. Courses should be in locations where the terrain doesn't change throughout the day, otherwise you are entering into unfare/uneven playing terms.

Does the ban on Losi claws translate into a ban on Vaterra Race Claws? (Since it's the same company)

If you rig "picks up" a sick or twig can it be removed without penalty as long a the vehicle is not touched?

The Vaterra race claws are a scalish looking tire, therefore they are legal. The Losi Claws are a comp truck tire, that's why there are illegal.

Typically if a rig picks up a stick, vine etc and it gets wound up we will let someone remove it. It's kind of at the discretion of the judges since it really isn't spelled out in the rules.

Thank you

This surprises me, If the driver drove into a situation causing something to bind up in his rig why should it be allowed to be removed, The rules do call it out as a touch for 10 points.(a touch is a touch no matter why). Seems to take something away from the driver that avoided the situation in a better way.

Note : I will be judging C1 at SWSC and I will call a touch and hope I would be called the same way for a touch of any kind.
