2016 Scale Rules

[baconbits]

would these count as a non-functional scale point? People count wipers, mirrors, shifters... it's not a sticker it's a actual realistic emblem.

No biggie if they don't count.

As the rules are now for 2016 they don't have to be chassis mounted they can be body mounted.

These were questioned so figured I'd get a official response from the committee. These new prolines that were teased just a bit ago. They are gonna be a legal scale tire correct? To me they are just a pre siped flat iron. But with people questioning them I'd like to ask here

Tread wise they're fine (no worse than a KLR). Not sure what their listed height is.

[xXxCheeziexXx]

They will be listed at 4.75x1.76" per info from some proline reps. So I knew that part was good

Yup should be good to go for C2 then.

This was brought up on facebook. And i figured id bring it up here. If i were to make a bumper, sliders, flatbed... ect out of CF its not metal, or plastic its technically a ceramic according to google. So its worth -0 points correct? Or is it by default plastic.

Any more thought by the rules committee to release the new 2017 rules early? Or maybe a "teaser" of some new rules already voted on?

Ive been hearing rumors of some substantial changes. In particular to C1...


I know its early September, but several people are already planning new builds and amassing parts for 2017.

If there are changes on the horizon, maybe someone from SORRCA could give a heads up so builds can start?


Much Appreciated!

I would say that any carbon fiber parts would receive no points.

The rules committee has hit a bit of a wall as far as participation and excitement the last couple weeks. I wouldn't count on anything being released early. I'll discuss it with them and see what we can do to get things up and moving again.

[badhoopty]

at what point do advertised manufacturer specs vs the actual size of the tire create an issue with the rules?

i certainly dont see the new pitbull being banned from c2 since i know a bunch of you sorrca guys favor them and knew what was coming, and its a cool tire... but i gotta say im surprised to see it.

i just saw that.

its very typical of me to go half cocked before knowing all the details, and then issuing out a heartfelt apology.

edit- so i got a set of the pitbull 1.9 xl's and along with being kickass they are right on the money at 4.75.

I didnt see it anywhere but since batteries must be chassis mounted is putting the battery in a toolbox that is mounted to the tubing in the back of a truggy legal?

Yes it's legal as long as the tool box is not attached to the links or axle in any way.

[baconbits]

So CMS is chassis mounted servo.... but if I have my steering servo attached to the skid and utilize a series of push rods, bell cranks (attached to the chassis) and wizardry similar to metal mashers old class3 steering. Or a Tamiya bruiser steering, Would that still receive the cms points?

Yes it would get cms points it's not axle mounted
