Truggy or Tube Bed

[Retrocosm]

Hi, would someone be kind enough to clarify whether this qualifies as a truggy or a tube bed? I have been going on the assumption that it's a tube bed.



Cheers, Charlie

Tube bed the frame rails extend past the back of the cab

[Retrocosm]

Thank you sir.

Now to confuse matters a little. Does this qualify as a tube bed and is it legal?

Looks like a plastic roll bar to me, and yes it's legal......you get -1 scale point for it.

[Retrocosm]

OK, thank you

Im having this built and it will be using frame rails cut right after the rear link mounts and tube the rest of the way back, what would it be considered? it's still class 2 legal since it has frame rails right?

So you're asking me about the rear portion of a truck but showing me a picture of the front? Looks like a tube buggy to me from that picture.

Sorry here's a better picture, I just want to know if it having frame rails would allow it to be class 2 legal

Yes frame rails will make it C2 legel. They must go from the tube rear behind the drivers compartment to the front where the bumper ties to.






What he said VVVVV Left that out detail out. Thanks Tim!

Frame has to be 3" longer than the wheelbase too.

So that's -3 for the metal tube bed and -2 for the metal roll bar for a total of -5 correct?

Correct.

English ain't my main language so I don't really understand the rules about c2 truggy. It says must have integrated shock mount. Does that mean that the shock mounts can't be mounted on the actual frame? Adding a picture on the frame I'm gona use.

Is true truggy does not have frame rails beyond the end of the cab. If there is frame after the cab it is a tube bed, not a truggy. At least that is my take on it, when I tech in trucks for a comp I judge it that way, there are whiners, but rules are rules.

So for that chassis to be legal I would have to do something like this

That's not a truggy, that is a chassis with a tube bed. I can't see the method of attachment of the rear mounts but if they are bolted on like the front ones they are not integrated either.

I am starting to build a Class 2 truck, and figuring out if this would be a truggy (-4) or roll bar with a tube bed and metal shock hoops (-6) .

The cab sits to the left so I am thinking that if I make Cut #1 and start the rear tubing from there it will be a Truggy, and if I instead make Cut #2 and start the lower tubing from there it will qualify for the roll bar, tube bed and metal shock hoops (once I make them). Is that correct?

[Big Daddy]

Either one would be a truggy as you need the chassis the be 3" longer than the wheelbase.

[COJeepin]

Okay thanks. I was curious because the specs for truggy points say there is supposed to be tube work from the back of the cab out, which with cut #2 there wouldn't be 100%. I didn't want to be called out for scoring it as a truggy when it wasn't. Thanks again.
