2016 RC4WD Scale Challenge Series - New Castle, PA (August 26-28)

[Creepy Inc.]

Golly, well that's news to me. Is that a recent change or have I dimwittingly never trimmed a tire in C2 before?

I guess things are different up there in Australia, England, eh?

Geez John... it's bigger than the both of us now "thumbsup"

Who else is bringing their monster trucks?

I most possibly may or may not be bringing something that could be considered a monster truck.

You guys are bad news.

What body is on your SCX10? Does it have rear bumpers molded into the body or a bumper attached to the chassis? If you don't have one of those it's illegal

Wondering if a stock honcho body is considered a flat bed and whether it needs a bumper. Any Judges out there could you answer this question for me

I just went back through the rules...again lol...the Honcho bed is considered a "tube bed" and is therefore not legal for class 1. It is legal for class 2.

From my interpretation of the rules for C1. A flat bed does NOT require a rear bumper. You will not be awarded points for a drop bed or for a rear bumper unless you add a full width rear bumper. Again, I just looked at the rules and that is my interpretation.

Yep, they consider the Honcho bed to be a tube bed. I wish they would just put that in the darn ruleset. I had to go back to the 2012 rules discussion. Thank goodness for the search function!

Just checked 2012 rules anfd it says :Tuber: metal -8, plastic -4
A tuber consists of a complete body structure where the front, cab, and rear sections are
comprised entirely of structural tubework. a honcho only has tube on the front and rear of the bed where it attaches to the full frame. Anyone else got a clarification, all it says are flatbeds are allowed not that tube beds are not.... so confused!
Bed: Not available to tubers.
• Tube bed OR flatbed: metal -3, plastic -1
• Bed mounted headache rack or roll bar: metal -2 plastic -1
• Truggy/back halved truck: metal -4, plastic -2
(Must replace the ladder frame behind the cab with tube, and must extend past the rear axle pumpkin to be legal.
The bed must have a roll bar hoop and integrated shock mounts. It also must be a structural part of the rear of the
vehicle. (If your bed does not meet ALL of the preceding criteria, it does not count as a truggy bed).Tube bed, roll
bar, shock mount points not available in addition to truggy bed points....still confused, does not qualify as truggy

Here's the only thing with the Honcho bed it's dove tailed at the rear.


The bed must be as wide as the cab the entire length of the bed. Cab only not allowed.

Get a dinky bed side kit and you'd be OK other than Class one tires. Oh and a rear bumper.

Max points for C1 is 50 this year? Wasn't it 60 last year or am I going crazy? I don't even run C1, just curious.

 

[Tin Soldier]

Does the campground have anything planned for the wives and kids?

The 50 point max is the course penalty max. Scale point max I'm am unsure of at the moment.

Also I'm starting a thread for judges. I need to see who is interested and going to be dedicated to help judge.
