hi guy. a question: "No bolt on or stick on external axle or knuckle weights of any kind." all of this is illegal? I think yes, because are all weight bolt to the knuckle. But we have the problem that someone is able to create the same knuckle-weight in one piece. like this: Obviusly it is make to add weight and bypass the rules. No attemp to copy the real . this is legal? I hope no. in case one piece is allowed, How the judge can discover a "hiden" piece? Someone can easily bolt the weight and use liquid steel glue or putty and after paint to simulate one block piece. Can the local "judge" make something in case of this? We don't have x-ray :( thanks for all. Last edited by devilman_76; 01-10-2017 at 06:21 AM. |

an other question from italian user: Code: • The vehicles body must be mostly intact. Only mild trimming is allowed, such as removing: flairs, trim, molding & a hardtop. If the hardtop is removed, a full interior is required (no extreme trimming of bodies allowed *Seebelow.) • Bodies should be mounted in a realistic position in relation to the chassis (like a 1:1 would be). • Any removal of material from behind the front wheel well (except trim/molding) is considered a boat side. • Boat sides are not allowed. • Dovetailing is not allowed. We have the 2 case.. 1) toyota: can I trim all the part under the front bumper? It is legal? can I trim all the part under the grill and replace the bumper with a smaller tube one? can I trim all the part under the hood and replace the grill and the light with lower ones? It is not exactly mild... 2) front of Defender: cut 45° the lighthouse is legal? cut more and replace the light with a little one is legal? obviusly cut the front side of the front of vehicle give a better approach angle so a significant advantage. thanks for answers.

So I understand that brass weights bolted to the knuckles are illegal but could you bolt a faux brake disc/drum to the knuckle for exterior points if it was made of a lightweight material? Something made of thin aluminum or plastic wouldn't add any significant weight (a couple grams maybe) but would anything bolted to a knuckle be considered a "knuckle weight"? |

Why do people respond with bright colored text on a white background? You understand some people won't be able to see it right? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

For The knuckle hand made doesn t need a new rule. Nobody like rulez... But simple say "remade knockle must be similar to real One" Very easy. | |

| 2017 Scale Rules If you're color blind this is all a blob... I'm sure there's a way to manipulate resolution to make it clearer to sight impaired, just saying it's a pain in the ass..

I have a question for this rules point : "Flat plate may be any thickness with a minimum of 1/2”. IE, it can be bent but 2 measured sides added together must equal at least 1/2” Please, which of the three hypotheses is correct? : 1 the sum of two sides (base + height) 2 the sum of 3 sides (base + base + height) 3 the vertical development (Height difference) of the height created by the bumper |

Is that adjustment in the app, the forum, or on the device? I've got the same coloring on all three.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

.060 white vacuum form = -12 .060 clear vacuum form = -0 ......Still blows my mind. Are there updated 2017 scale point tally sheets posted anywhere yet? We definitely need those asap. |
