The 2.2 Limited class is ment to provide beginners,or individuals who may happen to like a 'less comp' setup, a fun, fair, competitive class to run in. The 'restrictions' are not really that severe, in fact here at Battle Front I have yet to actually lay eyes on a rig that would not be able to run limited based on the definition in post#196.

Keeping the playing field level was my primary goal...I really liked the 1.9 class idea except that you can't just add parts your truck and move into the next class without buying a whole different rig. I was aiming to correct that with the creation of this class. Maybe that goal is off target? I was also hoping to somewhat limit the required investment to be competitive.

If MOA rigs aren't going to walk allover 'stock' shafties, then I guess the door is open. Worm gear rigs are allowed, so as far as torque twist, I guess it's not really any different.
I don't see an issue either way, because the guys who get MOA's are hellbent on ruling the world any way and would not be caught dead running in a 'stock' class.

As to the dig servo being disabled rule...I suppose a dig=dnf clause would work as well. I didn't figure anyone with a dig installed really wanting to run in this class....maybe I'm mistaken there too?

RANT...
Twisted's point about too many classes is well founded. If you really want my opinion, the 1.9 class should have never been started. A restricted 2.2 is a better way to get people into the sport and allow them to move up as they gain experiance.
For the record I have nothing against 1.9 crawlers. They are here to stay and chicks dig them, but I'm say'n that if less classes is the goal then I'm not the guy that started it!

On some crawlers, including mine. If you unplug the dig servo, the drivetrain will not stay in 4WD. The servo pushing against the linkage is the only thing keeping it in 4WD.

It would be better to 40 point DNF the person if they use dig while comping in the stock class.

It's getting closer and closer. Losi posted a link for the manual for the new crawler on their page. The end of May can't get here soon enough!

damn off by 1 number craig ordered me the ones i posted but i called him back and hes gonna get me the right ones and send back the others so its all good oops

Just to let everyone know, I will be at BFG tomorrow around 5:00pm to wash the rocks for Fri nights practice. So if you planed on crawling, the rocks will be wet.

I will not be available to crawl all this weekend. I have a family thing over in Midland. Have fun everyone.:wave:

02CooperS

A Main hobbies has the new Losi crawler list as May 18 09...... maybe we'll get lucky and It'll be released a little sooner.

Yeah I saw that too, But Rich has posted on RCCrawler that it will not budge from that date. I talked with Tyrone yesterday and mine is still on Pre-order

I am even going to Buy a losi shafty

Remember we have the Slash Bash going on tonight. Everybody is still welcome to come out and practice. We may set up tables in the other area for you to pit on and we will have to really watch frequencies, but I think it is a great opportunity to expose what should be a pretty good turnout to rock crawling.

See you tonight!!!!

Anyone crawling tonight?

If anyones crawling it's a good bet they arn't watching the forum like us loosers:freak:

Try the phone....sometimes old tricks are the best tricks!

I have never heard of a 1/14 scale crawler unless your talking about the losi MRC. Either way you would be better off getting a 1/10 scale 2.2 crawler.

Might be talking about the Duratrax 1/14 Cliff Climber with the all wheel steering and dual 380 motors. Unfortunately, that would put you in the Super class.

so is there no pics of this place???

I think he is referring to this.

http://www.duratrax.com/cars/dtxd18-cliff_climber/index.html

No... it doesn't fit the 2.2 class and it is to big for the 1.9 class. In both cases you would have to eliminate the rear steering.

1.9 the wheelbase is an 1" to long and 1" to wide. You might be able to shrink it down enough but it would take some work.

for 2.2.. the wheelbase is fine but very short compared to the 12.5" length and width that your allowed. Trust me your going to use most of that when competing.

Your best bet is to either go with the 1.9 scale (which is a Losi Mini Rock Crawler) which sell RTR for $240, or go with an Axial RTR (2.2 scale) which sells for $260. (all prices are approxiamate obviously).

We are have a big competition this weekend (Sunday). You should come out and check it out. You will be able to see what the 1.9 vs 2.2 difference.


Jim

We have pictures, but they are buried in the thread somewhere. maybe someone can repost some.

I don't have any up to date pictures. Sorry. I have been away from the course for a bit, and when I am there, I seem to be to busy crawling.

Jim

Here is some from before. I hope they help. I maybe out there Wednesday night. If I do get out there I will take some more pictures then.

Thanx for the advice you all... It is not a duratrax, it is a homemade one on ebay. Not sure of the measurments. I cannot come out on sunday. I will have to get measurments and restrictions from you guys sometime soon.
Thanks again.

Beef

Here is the rules. It is a decent read.

probably beef loves runnin junk he had 3 of them evaders sold a t4 to buy 1 hahahahah now hes got a slash:freak:

John - I posted this question a few pages back w/o a response. What's going to happen with the off-road program on this Sunday? I see on the outdoor thread that this weekend is the target date for the start of racing. What's your plan of action?

Been giving it some thought. I am not going to schedule a Sunday race program, but will allow off-road practice as we have been doing.

When crawlers check in, I will make a list of frequencies. No one will be allowed to practice using those frequencies. They will either have to change to a frequency not being used for the crawling competition or not practice.

Ok, thanks.

Well now I just looked at the duratrax one... that sux cuz i do like it... y is it everything that is affordable you cant use...lolol

I am not aware of any rule against it. Wouldn't be different from any other weekend..seems there is always a pile with a price tag kick'n around. Besides, theres not much else to do (except watch and clean tyres) between runs.

Don't see why not.

Yes he can run the same crawler. Rumble on the rocks will hopefully be a laid back club event aimed at having fun for kids and adults.
