2014 scale rules discussion or question thead Please ask any questions here for 2014 SORRCA Scale Rules. Thanks! |
Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead Great job clarifying and expanding the definitions"thumbsup" Question for you guys. Here is the statement in the rules. A self-recovery penalty will be assessed every time the vehicles winch cable is connected/reconnected, or self-recovery tools are positioned/repositioned. If at any time during the process of removing recovery tools and/or winch line from vehicle, the vehicle is moved by any force other than it's winch or its own power, a touch penalty will be assessed and the vehicle repositioned to the last cleared gate (see vehicle touch rule). All self-recovery tools (sand ladders, etc.) must be carried on the vehicle. Seems like sand ladders have been added along with "etc". At the comp this weekend we were talking about the changes and the above change came up. Would a fella be allowed to pull their spare tire off and use it to fill a gap or ease the incline level of a ledge or etc....as long as it was reinstalled just like the rest of the recovery tools. Looks to fall under "etc" fairly easy. Thanks for any insight you have. |
Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead That's a really interesting question! I don't see why you couldn't use a spare to fill a gap. As long as you are carrying something on your rig, you can use it for whatever you want. |
Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead I was curious, I'm currently rebuilding a rig to be g6 and class2 competitive. Now, I was thinking of installing a dig unit and possibly rear steer since these are useable in g6 competitions. I know these aren't usable in class 2, but is it possible as long as all other requirements are met, to "lock out" these items be it unplugging the servos from the receiver, or physically locking out the linkage. |

Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead Thanks Tim, plan is just to have a couple solid tabs to bolt linkage to and lock em out. Appreciate the reponse sir. |
Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead About self recovery points. How much penalty do I recieve for the following? Winching of a tree using a tree saver and a shackle while using two sand ladders to bridge a gap. Winching +3, tree saver +3, shackle +3, sand ladders +3 per pair or +3 each? 12 or 15 points or am I not getting this. |

Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead Devlin is correct, but I can give you all those penalties if you really want :lmao: |
Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead Hi guys! For tire sizes for Class II the rules state that the maximum tire size is 4.75" or 120 mm. But 4.75" is actually 120,65 mm, which when rounded is actually 121 mm. This is a pretty significant problem, because for example the PL Super Swamper XL tires are (as per the manufacturer specs) 4.75" or 121 mm. See the Specs tab here Since we'll be using the same rules here in Finland for this season, it would be a lot less confusing for us (since we don't use the legacy measuring system) if it'd be possible for you to update the rules on this part. Thanks! |

In class 1 it states that your rail chassis must be as long as your wheelbase, but in class 2 it must be 3" longer than your wheelbase. What are the reasons for this difference? Sent from my DROIDX |

Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead C1 requires bumpers and states your tires cannot stick out past them so chassis length isnt as important Edit: Piggy is a faster pecker than me:lmao: |

I like the clarification of custom hard body! Good work guys.. I think the touch/ movement while winching rule is going to be tough for everybody.. There is going to be a lot more touch / roll over penalties this year :evil: |
Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead I see this was also in effect last year but our local clubs never inforced it ... My bad |
Re: 2014 scale rules discussion or question thead i had a question i've been wondering about and since i'm about to start a C3 build, now's the time to ask.. i'm planning a tuber build with body panels from a hacked up hilux. my question is, if i drop the tubework into a bed formation in between the rear bed panels, would i get drop bed points? also would it need some type of floor decking? |
