TSA gets to make their own rules, and enforce them when the feel like it.

UPS works great, send them to the camp site and put ATTN: Your Name and SITE number on it

I could see a drill as it could be more commonly used to cause danger but the batteries them self as long as you don't have a bunch it shouldn't matter. I usually travel with a laptop or two, tablet, mifi, and two cell phones. That would equal a few of our batteries. You could try to call and ask or look at the website. They might have info there.

Hey guys: I am prepping my body for the ECSC and had not been there last year wanted to pose a question... I saw in the rules (for Class 1) it states no trimming of the fenders, although, I see many fellers trimming the rear corner, and trimming off the front valence altogether. Is this legal in class 1? I wasn't sure if it was referring to trimming the radius of the fender, or any part whatsoever...
And, on another rule: Are batteries allowed in truck boxes like in my pic, or do they have to be strapped to the chassis?
Thanks fellers, and can't wait to meet you all in a few weeks...

I sure hope that's OK. Seems to be enough rules to play with toy trucks to have fun as it is. :ror:

This came right from the rule book for class1. seems pretty cut and dry to me
"The vehicles body must be mostly intact. Only mild trimming such as flairs & removing a hardtop are allowed"

Timmy...only thing I would suggest on this set up is some strong magnets and a grommet for the wires to go through. Excessive wheeling could cause the wire to rub through and short out the battery. :shock:
I put silicone around mine to create a grommet... "thumbsup"

Wait, wait.... You mean there's going to be excessive wheeling? :lmao:
I know for a fact that the KOTR will be at least 14 gates....
I mean 140 gates... :lmao:

That's the plan, my man! I filed the edges of the hole 'round' as well. I have some crazy-strong rare-earth magents glued on each end (as you can see in the pic) that I got from amazon dot com. They are so strong it bends my finger-nails backwards when I open the lid. :shock:
140 gates!?!?! I better pack a lunch, some 'depends', and a few dozen batteries.
