I like that idea too. Stock axles. The only thing allowed is locking the diffs if they weren't stock.
Aw man. So we can't use the $7 (a pair) Yeah Racing knuckles for the TLT.:lol:
What about supers?
Lets get the TXT's,Juggy's,Maxx's and junk back out.:mrgreen:
Savage shocks,75-90 turn motors with GD600's and 6 cell sub C's.

I'd also like to see all the "mini" sized bodies out. Full size replica bodies only.
Tupers
Rock Crawler
Yep HPI Wranglers and Broncos cut to the factory lines. :twisted:
Landcruisers, powerwagons, Cj8's.

You can't run a CJ8 they're far to rare now. :mrgreen:
I have 2 that I cut the flares off, ready to paint. Then the mini bodies hit & back on the shelf they went. 1 more NIP too.
I'd run one for this class.

OK, I gotta throw in on this one. Its buggin me.
First off. I absolutely love this whole idea. We have toyed with the idea locally, calling it a Sportsman class.
There are a number of things I have a problem with in some of the comments made here. But I will sum it up by saying that if you were to be a complete newbie to this, then you would want to be able to have fun for least amount possible right off. Limiting the class to brushes only, 7.4v max, 2WS, and NO dig/disco means you can actually be competitive with a RTC. Which in the end will get more people crawling.
If you have 3s, and brushless, the latest links and chassis, and mondo steering servo's, GREAT, they already have a class for you. It's called 2.2. Get over it, or build one legal for that class.

Is this the Spec Class or the Nostalgia Class?
You can't do everything for everybody.
Let the newbs run in Spec and make the Nostalgia Class a class by itself.
For gear: Anything you run has to have been available pre 2005. Done.
For rules: Single motor, 55t 2S, no dig, no rear steer. Done.
The pre 2005 limit solves most of the problems.
If you cry because you don't have anything to run in the class. Too bad. Buy something or enjoy watching from the sidelines.

I was actually thinking something like this for a "kids" comp class...basic no dig shafty rigs, low buck and easy to throw together and to keep running. I'm putting the finishing pieces on a TLT/SW2/Pede trans rig together for the boys right now, with early RD400/Erickson aluminum beadlocks and some Rc for Friends machined aluminum C's for the front end. I was thinking of getting a bug body and replicate one of BENDER's National Rig's from 2006.
I've never been able to crawl with a dig, or maybe at all

I'm building a project right now that I call "Old School" do to the fact that I have a couple of beginners in my family and I just wanted a basis beater to for them to learn with.
I do like your idea of class a class like this at the club level. It would be fun and the focus would be about driving the lines.
Something with a lower price tag might even attract those who either don't want to or can't provide the appropriate budget to be competitive in the current "unlimited class" helping grow the hobby.
Good luck with it. "thumbsup"

hell if we're doing no rear steer ill run my rock racer tuber with a 45t in it. tubers are definitely old school. i ran a stadium truck body on my 2.2 SW2 back in 06 so i don't see a point in limiting it to full bodies like the rubicon and bronco.

If its gonna be nostaglia, I say everyone has to run a cut TLT chassis with a pede tranny.

the nostalgia name will probably not stick, its just something to call it currently. dont take it too literally...
its not about building and running old school rigs, its about simplicity. its about not over complicating it with MOAs, digs, dual ESCs, $150+ wheels and shit... making it so that someone that just bought an ax10 and put a few dollars into it doesn't come out to a local comp and compete against a bunch of $1000+ MOAs. and not wanna come back because they're intimidated or overwhelmed or something...
part of the reason we're working on this here in vegas is to help increase the size of our club and turnout at GTGs/comps. we've had more than a few guys join up and come out to compete with a box stock AX10 or one with a goat in it and some aluminum upgrades. and when they get there they see all the high dollar MOAs, sponsor t-shirts, stacks of extra wheels and tires and shit and decide they dont even wanna compete. then we never see them again.
