Voted Yes. But it will need to be clear and not lose sight of them being 'trucks'. Things like minimum height from where the hood and windshield meet to the roof line should stay. With defined hood, roof, and sides with minimums for each, so that they continue to resemble vehicles and don't become just abstract shapes on wheels.

Voting yes and agree with DickyT - we should still have defined lines or we'll end up with octagons for bodies and any side could be called a hood. Then we'll be back here discussing where the hood has to be on a rig just so it meets that rule
:roll:

You know that funky thing that start this whole opera :lmao:
 
How are yall going to vote if the bodiless goes to the bodied measurement.
What if the rule committee changes it but they make the bodiless the same size as bodied. Either way someone can sell some more chassises. :roll:

You guys got to remember these are 1/10 scale rigs. I can't see 1/16 bodies ,being put on 1/10 scale rigs.

This same line was trying to be crossed in the scale comp rules. I don't think it's going to happen there.

Instead of killing the bodies we have now and killing the bodiless chassisses we have now. Make a new class and see if it takes off. You kill both at once, what kind of vendor support do you think crawling will get after that.

the rules committee should take into consideration what the people want. if you read properly it says "reduce" body to bodiless area, not the other way around:roll:

you cant see alot of things. if scale is so important to you there is a place for that but not in 2.2 comp crawling

that is where your argument should stay

you are not going to kill anything, all previous renditions of bodiless and bodied trucks will still be legal and it will allow people to CHOOSE what they like

edit*** and the comments in my vendor thread are a bit childish!

I have a little bit of a problem when a chassis vendor who wants to change the rules on chassises. If the rule gets changed you'll be selling chassises. Sure everyone can keep what they got, But you know and I know they won't."thumbsup"

Childish!, well I am a grown man playing with toy trucks. And I'm looking forword to seeing the new chassis, if this was to get passed.

i have a problem when the rules committee tries to rule with an iron fist against the wishes of the people they are supposed to represent.

i hope to see alot of new things from alot of vendors here (you know the ones that are supporting rc crawling almost compeletly by themselves)
so i guess we kind of agree...
 
Yes. All this does is eliminate the gray areas that could exist. Simplifying rules along with eliminating gray areas, I'm all for.

Edit - and like others said, these aren't scale trucks, they're full blown pro comp trucks.

If it changes, I'll rule that rule with an iron fist, cause thats what I do for the people I represent. Weather I agree or not with the rule. I'd buy 1 of your chassis too."thumbsup"
 
I voted yes, It would be a shame to to see the some off the wall contraption show up at a comp that doesn't look anything like any kind of vehicle with the exception of the 4 tires and wheels.
Just my 2 cents.

You can never get ride of grey areas, that will always be there, the rule pushers find them or make them up. Sorry fact of life, here we are now.

No there not scalers, I'm not talking about them being scalers. But when a newb walks up they seem more drawn to something they can relate to. Something that looks like a truck. Why do you think scale is taking off and comp is dieing, seem like it started about the time the bodiless came out. I never have liked bodiless rigs, but I run one, go figure.

Try it sometime, go to the hobby store and show some scalers and some bodiless rigs and some bodied rigs and see which one the newb is drawn too.
Heck at a comp we always have our scalers there too. I see which ones the newbs look at the most when they come to watch.
 
To me Comp rigs stopped resembling "real" rigs years ago. I voted yes. Why not make them just 4 wheels that go anywhere? IMO the bodiless craze has taken them that way anyway.

I agree, I think the bodiless rigs have been killing the sport already, might as well finish it off and get a Rally car.:ror: I really do believe the bodilees rig has hurt the sport more than it's helped. :cry: Just my opinion.

Watch the 2.2s for growth.
 
With the way bodiless chassis design seems to be going, the rules should be changed. Skids have been getting smaller and smaller, now there are a few designs with no skid at all. I'd like to see a 2" min. width myself, with panel sizes reduced accordingly. 1" cab height should stay IMO. Lets push that envelope!:)
