| Re: 2016 Scale Rules Please do...I asked bsturgeon to post a pic over here for clarification as he attends comps with my local club and I handle tech. I lean more with doublej but don't want to screw anybody out of points if the general consensus is it counts.

| Re: 2016 Scale Rules Yes, max rim size is 2.2. I have no idea what size the tires are by the pic, but they aren't scale tires so honestly I didn't put any effort into looking them up.

They are 1" wide and 2 3/4" tall. I am looking for a small 1.9 wheel. It was the scalest looking thing I could find between 2" and 3". Not many options out there. I think they look a lot like mud thrashers. Definitely not trying to gain the upper hand by using 1.9 rally car tires. Just trying to put together a small build and not have it look like a micro class 3. Thought it might be fun to take to a comp. Something different to look at.

I looked at them. 3" is just too big. 2.25 would be perfect. Thanks for your effort.

Ok so I've got a question for the rear bumper on Scarlett. The first pic is without any extra tube and does not count as a metal rear bumper. The second picture has the tube I wanna add. Now would that count as a metal rear bumper separate from the tube bed? There would be braces between the tube bed bar and the bumper bar. Just want to make sure it would count before I make it more difficult than it needs to be. |

My .02...If the lower tube were to have a couple standoffs/braces I'd consider it a rear bumper but I'm very generous. | |

It's a gray area but really to be counted as a bumper, I think it should look like a bumper not a lower extension of the bed. It needs something added to be counted like the others are saying, braces / standoffs something to speperate it from the look of the bed Last edited by boob dude; 02-17-2016 at 09:00 AM. | |

Ex committee member opinion..... Love your attitude and relaxed opinion on the rule, My take Local event- good to go Nationals- needs to folow the rule to the the written definition. Or, rewrite the rule set to be more open and accepting to encourage more wide spread acceptance qnd use. |

A winch mounted on your axle is legal since it is done quite often in the 1:1 world.
