Last I checked this was a discussion thread. But since we're gonna be 12, point fingers and call each other stupid, I don't know why its so hard for you to understand that this is axle mounted And this is not. Axle mounted, stationary, does not move. Hinged, moves with the suspension. Sent using magic |

And maybe you should bring it up with Vaterra as well, because they even describe it as a floating tray. Vaterra 1/10 1986 Chevrolet K-5 Blazer Ascender 4WD Rock Crawler Kit | Horizon Hobby |

It is the same thing, whether it's strapped to it or solidly mounted, battery is mounted to the axle in both pics. Your the one who doesn't get it. Believe me we have discussed this in depth. Last edited by R2j; 01-19-2015 at 03:47 PM. |

Lets start from square one. Axle mounted batteries are illegal because they are not scale, correct? Or what is the reason they are illegal Sent using magic |

| Re: 2015 scale rules discussion or question thead Because you can not use the axle for mounting the battery. No battery strapped to it or used as a place to mount to. No plates zip tied to the links or anything in that nature.

I got that part, what I'm asking is why is it illegal, scale looks? Weight advantage or disadvantage? Or is it "we said so, do as we say" Sent using magic |

if the battery tray is screwed, velcroed, anything.. its mounted to the axle. i see a bar running from the tray to the axle on the ascender. its mounted. for whatever the reason, its not legal. if you wanna run that truck, just move the mount for the battery tray... why the 5.4" tall tsl xl's are illegal in the 5.75 tire class baffles me too, but a rule is a rule and if i wanna play in their sand box, they say what the rules are Last edited by stevem50; 01-19-2015 at 06:08 PM. |

Wait what? The 5.4" tsl swampers are illegal? I know the xl is as it's 5.8 but never heard the original 2.2 was illegal

Manufacturer specs, 1.9 tsl xs's are tall enough for c1, but the manufacturer specs say otherwise. I just want to know the reasoning behind why its not legal in the first place, I didn't think I was asking a lot. Sent using magic |

Sounds to me like he is saying the 2.2 xl's are only 5.4" tall.

i was talking about the advertised 5.8" tsl 2.2 xl, in reality they measure in 5 5/8" in as delivered with stupid big foams and after you swap in a real, actual useable foam you have maybe 5.4"... proline has lil' fella complex and exagerates their claimed size.

If they are under 5.75 they should be legal.

should be, yes, but advertised as 5.8, so no they arent. this pisses me off for many reasons. all prolines size specs are exagerrated, i say f*** them. if they cant give a real spec and it bans them then so be it, between that and their stupid bead design that doesnt work with 95% of the beadlocks on the market im over proline tires

Actually, looking at the pic, wouldn't that battery tray technically be mounted to the links, not the axle? Neither the battery tray nor the mount actually interface with the axle. Looks legal to me...

Who cares about this flipping battery mount. My ? Is why did the knuckle weights become illegal, leaving me with $50 scale boat anchors?
