In my opinion maybe there should be a stock competitor class for stock twin hammer time vehicles. Thoughts!
What about 1.9 tires on 2.2 wheels?Is everyone ok with the rules the way they are? Is there anything that is confusing or needs attention?
Just having a hard time believing we got it right the first time. :ror:

1.9 class. What differance does it make on the wheel diameter? Is what I am getting at. Classes should be set by tire diameter not wheel size. 1.9 tires now are as big as some 2.2.For 2.2 or 1.9 class?
We talked about allowing rigs to move up in class but not down, time and participation allowing. IE: a 1.9 trail rig in both 1.9 trail and 1.9 comp in an effort to give drivers the option of more racing without having rigs for more than one class. If we happen to get twice the crowd, then this would not be an option. Anyone have opinions on that idea?
The exception would be Trophy 2.2, that will be a stand alone class. You either meet the specs for that class or not.

Well this sucks!! My exo with 2.2 wheels and tires won't make the rules. Shit even with SC wheels and tires it barely makes the 12.5 and even the 1.9's on it, its at 13'' We'll that was fun while it lastedI guess it goes back on the shelf.
So "technically" there should be no 2.2 class at all.Our thought was to keep the rigs looking as scale as possible in all classes without writing 100 page rule book. I am not aware of any Ultra 4 1:1 rigs running 22" wheels.
Thanks for the questions and input. RPD nailed it pretty good. We wrote the class specs that way for uniformity and simplicity reasons. I know in some forms of full size off road racing, classes may be seperated by tire diameter. But for the most part the r/c world is divided by rim diameter. So we decided to stick with that uniformity.1.9 class. What differance does it make on the wheel diameter? Is what I am getting at.

In my opinion....those rules/classes sound reasonable/compettitive, and as with real racing while trying to conform to the rules try to exploit them....meaning find the tallest tire manufactured in the class to exploit that rule...or buy a 4-pole motor instead of a 2 or 3 pole for more torque. Stay within the rules just figure out the best tire, motor, esc, servo, whatever is required to win...
Seems like the new system is the Wrexo....:evil:
Because if you start to win races cuz you have brushless, instead of brushed....(my case...), or whatever the case may be, then you can "cheat" within the rules and bring home trophies!
Good Luck!
See you on the 21st with the new setup...."thumbsup"
