Default memphis area rc crawling interest

A buddy and I are looking to start holding some 2.2 & 1.9/scale comps up at 4wheel parts. We will also consider a mini class if there are enough drivers. We figured there should be a couple of scx10 owners in the area by now. Post up if you are interested, and post up what rig(s) you would be competing with




I will start:

  • 2.2 comp rig
  • 1.9 rock racer/scaler

There are 3 comp classes. 1.9., 2.2, and super. They are all based on tire size, wheel base and track width. There are a few other limitations and they can be found here.

I would assume your edge is a 2.2 since that is a 2.2 chassis. You may just have to worry about your wheelbase to make your rig comp legal. I know the Edge chassis dimensions are made to be comp legal.

Not that I know of, but Jacob and I talked and he said that they are having a big sale on the 8th (i think) and that would be a good day to come out.

There are about 5 of us that have them up here now that would be entering the comp all of us are 2.2. And yes sat. The 8th is the day of our big sale so that would be a great day to do it. The course is open everyday from 9-6.

So who has started on their rock racer builds yet? I know some of you are racers at heart, so why not combine racing and crawling?
