Quick question, First post with rules was done in Feb. Has there been updates/changes to these rules? Or are we good to use this as a starting point for our clubs?

These are the rules. There will be some small revisions and improvements to them for 2012 (just as the USRCCA does each year), but for now, those are the rules in use. "thumbsup"

Thank You
We had a question about what constitutes a custom built body. Is that starting with flat pieces and going from there? Or, can you count a highly modified existing body. For example, say you made a 4 door into a 2 door. Another example might be gutting the doors, roof and then replacing with custom plastic and metal pieces. What happens if you graft an existing piece of a body onto a fully custom piece? Thanks for any help on this.

It means from scratch or flat pieces as you put it..

Pertaining to the bottom, where does this measurement start? If I ran a skid that mounted the transfer case lower than the frame (like the shape of a xr10 skid) is it included in hieght?
From skid to roof.

Would flat fenders up front be allowed in a class 1 wrangler... ?
Most the body still remains... And it would still be within rule of +/- 1/2" tire exposure

Class 2:
• The body (including bumpers) must be 3" longer than the wheelbase
Does this mean 3" longer total front and back combined or 3" in the front and 3" in the back?
• The body (including bumpers) must be 3" longer than the wheelbase
Does this mean 3" longer total front and back combined or 3" in the front and 3" in the back?

i'm sure it is combined between the front and rear, other wise 3" hanging out front and rear would look :shock: well picture it yourself :lmao: ..........bob

First off let me begin by saying Im extremely new to the Scaler/Crawler RC hobby. Forgive the newb question about tires. Currently I have Pro-Line 2.2 Chisels (they are on the Ban List) so these will be replaced shortly. I was looking at the Pro-Line 2.2 TSL's Super Swampers. The specs for the TSL's say <TABLE style="MARGIN-LEFT: 15px" border=0 cellSpacing=3 cellPadding=0 width=400><TBODY><TR><TD height=19 width=75 align=right>Height:</TD><TD width=10> </TD><TD width=125>5.40" (137mm)</TD></TR><TR><TD align=right>Width:</TD><TD> </TD><TD>2.05" (52mm)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
So according to the 4.75" height rule are these tires good or no good? I just dont want to buy another set of tires that I cant use. The 1.9's TSL's are @4.30" so well under the limit. Im just curious, thank you for any help.
Another question, Im trying to build and prepare an area here in Florida (Sanford Boat Ramp) is there something I need to post or request before trying to hold an SORRCA event. We will be trying to follow the SORRCA rules to the best of our abilities as there are a majority of us that are very new to the sport and must learn a lot still. Thanks again for the help "thumbsup"
