Hi, i'd like to have an official answer from the committee on these questions:
- are Proline hammer 2.2" tires legal for class 3?
They aren't the scalest looking tire, or the best performer.... but they also aren't on the tire ban list.
- does a 3d interior made of lexan or vacuum formed plastic get points, if it is deep enough and the parts (dashboard, steering wheel, floor, seats) are separate and assembled together, so interior is made of different 3d parts and not made with a unique molded piece?
As long as the interior has a complete floor, dash, steering wheel and seats, (and it meets spec for depth), it's a legal full interior
- can a strap be used not only during winching recovery or tu pull the truck, but also to prevent a rollover during side hill driving, by connecting it to the truck and to an existing winching point or natural element on the trail?
Of course getting a self recovery penalty each time you use it or change the point you connect it to the elements on the trail, and getting a penalty if the strop touches a gate.
A strap can be used like a winch line, but you must connect it at both ends and then let go. Each time it is hooked up you get a +3 penalty. The strap cannot be held while you use it without getting the +10 penalty.
- if any part or scale item falls off on the trail from your truck, you have to put it on the truck again and get a touch penalty?
Your Scale items must be securely attached to your rig. One small part falling off/out isn't a big deal, but if multiple items fall off along the course, the judge can either ask you to replace them for a touch penalty or can make a note to have scale points removed before your final score is tabulated.
