I might be wrong (it happens alot) but I believe that wooden beds are worth the same as metal. (Depending on the material of frame work attached to it. I.e. if your wooden flat be has a plastic or metal frame around it.)
to be mounted on the seat?
I have some more questions from italian scale drivers
- cage/rollbar: what if a truck has both an interior cage and an exterior exo cage (for the same row of seats) like the ones usually bolted on D90 bodies, something like this:
does it gets points for both interior and exterior cage or only one for every row of sets?
No, you only get points for interior cage OR Eco, not both.
what about a pickup truck that has an interior cage in the cab and a rollbar in the bed? gets points for both?
Yes, you can get points for a bed mounted roll bar and an interior cage.
- drop bed: i showed our drivers the same example pictures that had been posted here, but is there any chance to have a definitive answer on that? I mean a minimum drop bed depth that must be mandatory to consider it a 3d usable dropped bed to get points?
for example we consider a tf2 ok but have some doubts on tamiya hilux bed and similar ones.
A drop bed has to be as deep as the tailgate or to the top of the frame rails to get points.
Also does a trophy truck style bed get points? i mean something like this without the bottom of the bed:
No, I can see the ground and tires. How do you call it a drop bed if it doesn't cover anything?
- tires: for class 2 the rule says 120mm / 4.75" max tire but if I remember right 121 mm (4.76") tires like the proline tsl super swamper xl 1.9" are allowed...corrrect?
what about C1? someone is willing to use 1.9" proline flat Irons which are listed as 107mm (4.21") tires, while the rule says maximum 106.4mm (4.19")
TSL XL's are listed at 4.75". A tire must be listed by the manufacturer at 4.19" or shorter to be legal for Class 1 - period.
- lightbar: gest point only if metal? no points pfor plastic ones? what about 2 or more separated headlights instead of a one piece led strip/lightbar?
I guess bonnet or bumper mounted lightbars don't get points for that, but can be considered functional front lights if coupled with 2 rear red light to get -2 points in the functional items section?
Correct, only points for metal light bars.
Bumper mounted can be headlights if paired with taillights.
- tamiya driver: can this be considered a knees up driver even thought he has a "flat bottom and legs"
Yes, knees up points for that driver.
- hardbody: can a 1.5/2mm thick abs vacuum formed body like this:
or like the ones from kamtec, which weight about 200 gram and are a little more flexible than stock abs body get hard body points?
even if widely trimmed for C3 and/or without interior?
I have some more questions from italian scale drivers
- cage/rollbar: what if a truck has both an interior cage and an exterior exo cage (for the same row of seats) like the ones usually bolted on D90 bodies, something like this:
does it gets points for both interior and exterior cage or only one for every row of sets? I'd be inclined to say cage and metal roof rack points.
what about a pickup truck that has an interior cage in the cab and a rollbar in the bed? gets points for both? Yes
- drop bed: i showed our drivers the same example pictures that had been posted here, but is there any chance to have a definitive answer on that? I mean a minimum drop bed depth that must be mandatory to consider it a 3d usable dropped bed to get points?
for example we consider a tf2 ok but have some doubts on tamiya hilux bed and similar ones. Being/been discussed. I agree with where you are at with TF2 and hilux.
Also does a trophy truck style bed get points? i mean something like this without the bottom of the bed: From what I can see it looks like a tube bed.
- tires: for class 2 the rule says 120mm / 4.75" max tire but if I remember right 121 mm (4.76") tires like the proline tsl super swamper xl 1.9" are allowed...corrrect? The spec says 4.75" on the website.
what about C1? someone is willing to use 1.9" proline flat Irons which are listed as 107mm (4.21") tires, while the rule says maximum 106.4mm (4.19")
Seems pretty clear that they don't fit the rules.
- lightbar: gest point only if metal?YES no points pfor plastic ones? NOwhat about 2 or more separated headlights instead of a one piece led strip/lightbar?Not sure what the question is. But I'd only give light bar points once.
I guess bonnet or bumper mounted lightbars don't get points for that, but can be considered functional front lights if coupled with 2 rear red light to get -2 points in the functional items section? Don't see why not.
- tamiya driver: can this be considered a knees up driver even thought he has a "flat bottom and legs"
- hardbody: can a 1.5/2mm thick abs vacuum formed body like this: Not a hardbody in my book.
or like the ones from kamtec, which weight about 200 gram and are a little more flexible than stock abs body get hard body points? Not sure, I'd have to look into them.
even if widely trimmed for C3 and/or without interior? If it meets requirements of the class you can still claim hardbody points without an interior.
Thank you "thumbsup"
