Would this be an approved class 1 tire?

I wouldn't consider those legal in any class.
Rules state, "Tires should be scale appearing...".
Those would be crazy small. They have to be a O.D. of 4.19 (or smaller) without any tire modifications. So even if those are for a 2.2 rim they still be way to small. And a 2.2 is max rim size correct?

Yes, max rim size is 2.2. I have no idea what size the tires are by the pic, but they aren't scale tires so honestly I didn't put any effort into looking them up.

They are 1" wide and 2 3/4" tall. I am looking for a small 1.9 wheel. It was the scalest looking thing I could find between 2" and 3". Not many options out there. I think they look a lot like mud thrashers. Definitely not trying to gain the upper hand by using 1.9 rally car tires. Just trying to put together a small build and not have it look like a micro class 3. Thought it might be fun to take to a comp. Something different to look at.

That's rough on a 1.9" rim. IF you can go to a 1.55 RC5wd has these:
Dirt Grabber 1.55" All Terrain Tires
Could probably stretch these over a 1.9" rim:
Mickey Thompson 1.7 Baja ATZ Scale Tires

I looked at them. 3" is just too big. 2.25 would be perfect. Thanks for your effort.

Ok so I've got a question for the rear bumper on Scarlett. The first pic is without any extra tube and does not count as a metal rear bumper. The second picture has the tube I wanna add. Now would that count as a metal rear bumper separate from the tube bed?
There would be braces between the tube bed bar and the bumper bar. Just want to make sure it would count before I make it more difficult than it needs to be.

I'd be fine with them. Just saying... and they are scale looking in appearance.

If you ran "mounts" to the chassis rails I'd let it go. Rules state that bumpers must be chassis mounted and separate of the body. So if it wasn't mounted to the chassis it would be just part of the bed. IMHO

Anyone else on the committee have an opinion on this?
My .02...If the lower tube were to have a couple standoffs/braces I'd consider it a rear bumper but I'm very generous. :mrgreen:

The second bar he wants to put in just looks like the lower bar of the bed like most tube / flatbeds have to cover the frame.
It's a gray area but really to be counted as a bumper, I think it should look like a bumper not a lower extension of the bed.
It needs something added to be counted like the others are saying, braces / standoffs something to speperate it from the look of the bed

I was going to add d ring mounts in the middle. Aswell as have it mount to the frame. Just wanted to make sure I could braze it to the tube bed and have it still count.

Ex committee member opinion.....
Love your attitude and relaxed opinion on the rule,
My take
Local event- good to go
Nationals- needs to folow the rule to the the written definition.
Or, rewrite the rule set to be more open and accepting to encourage more wide spread acceptance qnd use.

A winch mounted on your axle is legal since it is done quite often in the 1:1 world.

Just make sure it's not carbon fiber.
