Vehicle Legality Questions

Tue May 15, 2007 6:50PM

I've been asked leading up to each Nitro Offroad event this year "Can we run the Jammin .5 with the Gas Trucks?"
No! Just by the design of the vehicle it isn't fair for them to race against the Gas Trucks especially for points in a national series.

The Gas Truck rules state with the name "1/10 FUEL 2WD OFF-ROAD TRUCK SPECS"
what is legal in the class. A 1/12 4wd drive truck is not legal in that class.

Next question will RC Pro make a class for the .5?
I have driven one and looked at them closely and they ARE really cool and fun. Plus I would love to see them in competition but we can not make a class for something only made by one company. If more companies produce a comparable vehicle we will strongly consider a class for them in 2008.

We have done and will do more exibition races for the .5 at some of our division races as time permits.

who cares how many companies build 'em, these things are a blast to race and we definitely need a class for them.

round 1 of northeast is over. I had a good time up in rome, the track was outrageous, but I was not pleased about how the the first two qualifiers were run in the 1/8th expert buggy.  My biggest issue was that the one of qualifiers was all A main drivers! they got to run a track with no intermediate drivers with them!  Simply u are able to put down a much better time when there is no one on the track who "gets in the way" so to speak. If they were driving with the rest of the class, I would feel this to be a more level playing field. I feel that they were put together for just that reason! I respect better drivers, but I dont think they should be put together,that is just not right. of course after the re-sort everything changes, but there round did NOT!  Again, it was a good time but I feel it was not a fair 1/8th expert class,
