-25 posts about what the definition of a fart is each with widely inaccurate and misleading interpretations of things that have nothing to do with farts. -30 posts about how XJ's coil suspensions 'technically' fit under the definition of a fart because someone's cousin used to wheel one and logged into Pirate a few times and why it's RIDICULOUS they don't get scale points for it. -A side conversation about someone's flex-friday redcat post waxing lyrically how dumb scale points and winches are and how they'll never compete because they're too cool for that. - 2-5 posts that actual pertain to the topic at hand and might actually be useful. In short - Facebook is stupid, and people act like teenage girls on there. |

That page and SORRCA by association as a serious optics problem. |

Re: 2018 Scale Rules Quote:
Where is the balance between rewarding people who make the extra effort and the whole mess getting out of hand? I still think 20 points max, and that gets calculated to someone's overall score. Of course, I miss the simplicity of comp crawling, just make sure the WB is within spec and go... |
Re: 2018 Scale Rules Quote:
Funny thing is 98% of the people that post Sorrca sucks or they have to many rules, have never competed and never will but think that they could beat the over all National champ without breaking a sweat. And yes Jon farts stink and so does FACEBOOK. |

Touche my friend! FB is a big waste of time! |
Re: 2018 Scale Rules Quote:
FB is a business card, people are not going to find any given page, ignore the duechbagger occurring and assume it isn't representative of the people involved in the page. It really doen't matter what the truth is, it only matter what is perceived. Just an FYI, I have a friend that is a fishing guide who's only advertising presence is participating in several fishing FB groups. It is a side job for him, however he makes really good money from it, and turns away business. Just hanging out on FB makes him $450.00 a trip 60-80 days a year. Before FB when I guided I spent weeks going to fishing shows, running a web forum and writing for magazines to get the customer base he has. |
Re: 2018 Scale Rules Quote:
Thats all fair and well in some cases but I still prefer human interaction, business hand shakes, face to face and phone calls etc... Facebook just allows for low integrity, ignorance and people no longer having meaningful face to face conversation. Also, I agree with what's said above, most people complaining about SORRCA and events (which are a blast) through FB have never attended an event, but because of FB it gives our fierce "keyboard warriors" the opportunity to be ignorant. Just like every other thread in this damn forum now has turned into the same 6 or 8 morons arguing about the same ol crap. Gotta love our fierce warriors defending us from evil empires like SORRCA, Axial, HPI ETC.... |
Re: 2018 Scale Rules So im new to RCing and such but it seems like a lot of people dislike sorrca. I mean I dont like the fact that if one guy spent more time building his rig he could drive worse and still win but my big question is though. Why doesn't the community get together to replace it? |
Re: 2018 Scale Rules Quote:
That being said, I wish there was less emphasis on all the scale parts, and more on the driving. Im seriously considering a shafty for next year as well. Maybe I can get enough people interested to organize a comp. Who knows. What I do know is I just want to have fun with my toy trucks. |

Re: 2018 Scale Rules Class 1 - Details: • Truggies are not allowed, flatbeds with full length rail chassis are allowed. The bed must be as wide as the cab the entire length of the bed. Cab only not allowed. I have a question on this rule, and I couldn't find an answer in a search of here. As I understand it, an Axial SCX10/II Honcho is considered a truggie, correct? and this is because it doesn't have a full on pickup style bed, right? Would adding the Dinky RC Honcho Bedside kit change it from a truggie and into a legal Class 1 since it would look like a pickup bed with a roll cage? https://www.dinkyrc.com/collections/...nt=14053341574 |
Re: 2018 Scale Rules Quote:
Once you start attending comps, you'll quickly realise the FB drama is completely unfounded and silly. The people, camraderie and smiles is addicting. You will be absolutely hooked. Addressing your quote above, the "Scale Parts" and looks are what this is all about. The competetition is every bit as fierce as "Shafty Comp Crawling", but with a whole new dimension. Embrace it, don't fight it. The emphasis on driving is there. You will quickly learn 3 things about the Top Drivers at any SORRCA Comp: 1. They are MASTERS at reading terrain, strategizing and making split second decisions. 2. Their vehicles perform at the highest levels 100% of the time. 3. They are MAXED OUT on scale points. Its ALL part of the game if you want to be at the top. And its a fun game to play! ;-) |
Re: 2018 Scale Rules Quote:
If the framerails are fully intact (front to back), then its considered a tube bed and perfectly legal as long as all other dimensions/requirements are met. |
Re: 2018 Scale Rules Quote:
I think the Honcho still uses full length rails, and the Honcho cage/bed bolts to the cab and sits on top of the rails. |

Re: 2018 Scale Rules Hello quick question about boat sides. It says under class one any trimming behind the front tire is considered a boat side. Is this also true for class 2? Because I've already trimmed my fenders out and would like to pinch both the front and the back. Also going to bob the bed. Any input would be awesome. Thanks.
