|  Bodyless requirements
IF this chassis met the minimum dimensions , and had the side panels attached in the proper way , would it work for a "bodyless" competition rig ? Its the template marked "Manta" chassis , 2nd one down on the left. http://offroader5.freeservers.com/templates.html Thanks Dwane Last edited by DwaneO; 12-06-2008 at 04:52 PM. Reason: fixed link |

I am going to post this question here since Dwane has PM'd me about this also. I am kinda confused as to how you can have both of these rules under the bodiless class: • 2.1.3 - Bodiless vehicles: Must be a self-supporting, structurally complete, rigid frame. The roof must be raised a minimum of 1” from the main chassis to resemble a cockpit. The frame sides must be an overall minimum of 1” tall (The cockpit & frame side are to be measured vertically from where the hood intersects the cab). Bodiless vehicles should resemble a 1:1 vehicle. NOTE: These bodiless rules are in a 1 year trial period to see how people respond to it and after that time these rules & requirements may be revised. ...and than have size requirements here also: o 2.1.3.3 - Super class minimum overall bodiless dimensions must be 12” overall length, 3” overall width, & 3.75” overall height. o 2.1.3.4 - 2.2 class minimum overall bodiless dimensions must be 8” overall length, 3” overall width, & 3.75” overall height. o 2.1.3.5 - 1.9 class minimum overall bodiless dimensions must be 6.75” overall length, 2.5” overall width, & 3.25” overall height. Which is it...1" minimum overall height as stated in 2.1.3...or the sizes shown in the other sections? |

Both The 1" min is to define the cockpit area. So if your roof is only raised 1", then the sides would need to be 2.75" tall to make up the difference |

| Oh, I see..I thought when it said "frame sides" it was talking about the lower portion of the chassis below the cockpit. The line: The cockpit & frame side are to be measured vertically was telling me that the overall 1" of cockpit and 1" of "frame" side was going to total only 2" for the chassis height. Now I see the "frame side" they are talking about is the side of the cockpit....why didn't they just put "cockpit side" :-P |
