Default What are the guidelines for a Cross Country/Trail rig?

i've been thinking about getting a toureag/S-10/humvee for a cross crountry rig. i also have a line on a associated TC-3 with the rally conversion kit. could(or would)the TC-3 be considered a CC rig, or does a CC need to have a solid rear axle?

As far as I understand, it doesn't matter if it's solid axle or not.

Yup, the Hummer, S-10 and the F-150 are all independent.

Yeah, you'd have to run the 1.9" wheels tires so you wouldn't have much ground clearance. Bruiser axles would be better.

For our comps, you have to run a Tamiya car, 150, S10, hummer, pajero, touareg, ect.

You will only be allowed 1 locker, your choice front or rear. A winch, any motor/gearing choice. Must run the stock tires, unmodded. Along with some other stuff.

Why is that? A TC3 is going to be just like a TA02. Both are IFS/IRS with shaft drive front to rear. I don't see why a touring/rally car that is relatively equal but not necessarily "tamiya" couldn't participate. I thought the point was ultra scale, not as capable rigs. Like trail trucks.

thats why it says, "ect" as long as they had the same width, wheelbase, and tires you can use it.

The reason for this is because we are making this a spec class where the rigs have to be 99% the same and it only comes down to driving.
