| Re: 2017 Scale Rules If you don't care then why are you even commenting in this thread? Rules are rules. But why must I or anybody else not ask why the rules are the way they are?

On the new traxxas trx4 would the locking/unlocking diffs being switched on course be the same as dig? It would essentially cause a variance change in ratio of the drivers/passenger side axles. Just curious as it was brought up in a debate and I would like yalls opinion on it. Thanks Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk |

Not in my opinion. Someone else might disagree with me but unless you have cutting breaks I don't see it as a dig.

Does the rule basically mean "Do not attach battery mount to your axles/links" or do batteries ACTUALLY have to be mounted to the chassis/frame, not body? | |

They literally held my seats up off the floor so my passengers required no amputations... They just sat a little cross-legged, lol. Can you flip you battery on its side? It may squeeze up into the console Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk | |

Thanks for your reply but I need a committee member answer because the rule is very specific.

I would just ask yourself it it looks realistic. Motors are worth 4 points, which is a pretty large amount of points, so I would say it needs to be as close (proportionally) to the real deal as possible.

Dash, and steering wheel are separate but the seats are molded into the floor. I wanna say it would be the same as a dinky interior that has the floor/seat combo but would like an official ruling on if this body with interior will get 3d points or no. Thanks for your response in advance. |

How about a sawback body. Would it get 3d interior points?

In my opinion I would say no, the rules says they must be seperate pieces. Is the floor and seat formed into the body? Or are they a seperate piece?

| Re: 2017 Scale Rules If thats the sticking point couldnt you just cut the interior out and then re-attach? It meets all the other criteria

Which in all honesty would be pointless and it wouldn't look as nice as the molded interior. Sometimes things should be looked at on a case by case basis. This is one of those times. If it meets all those other criteria why not let it go? Sorry. Not trying to be rude, but why make someone go through all that trouble to count points for something that already meets the criteria?

I don't like the 'separate' language and IMO it should say 'complete'. People keep mentioning cutting an interior apart and then rebuilding it but that would never turn an interior cover into a full 3D interior. As an example the apache interior below gets cover points because there isn't a complete seat / steering wheel / dash as they're all mashed together. The drivers hands take up part of the steering wheel, part of the seat, the steering wheel is part of the dash, ect. Even if you cut this up and glued it back together these attributes of the interior would not be complete. | |

A reasonable answer, takes into account the possibility of verifying legality in a simple and clear and identified way. In this case, have you thought about what are the minimum requirements for the pre-race checks ? Excuse me again, but i always have the impression that in many responses of the Committee, there is awareness that this rules has now become one of the most popular in the world, this consideration should also provide clear answers in the way of expression, as well as easy identification of the limit, you have to think that the various local committees of other nations must translate your answers into another language. I apologize again with you, but my observation wants to be a constructive criticism, to facilitate the dissemination and application of the regulation also to the extra US Committees, without misunderstanding or "dark sides" | ||

I'm no committee member but I'd judge that as a full 3D interior.
