Thanks Erich...that sorted that dilemma :sneaky:

Scr8p,
I agree, heavy metal should be run with Monster Truck tires, my favorite MT tires are the super Blackfoot tires...

Are super Blackfoot tires time specific? I too would like to see era specific additions/modifications for heavy metal/ classics. But you do need tires for certain vehicles, like Alyssa's Hornet...

tamiya has been using these tires forever, starting with the monster beetle.

The stock tractor treads got very little grip in the rear. Without the jc tires out back I would never get the lunchbox to clear that big double

don't worry. if the class goes to a silver can tamiya handout, you won't clear them no matter what tires you have on it.

I plan on running a King Cab in the Heavy class... If we are thinking about changing up tire or motor rules, I need to know now before I start buying rubber and a motor.

Hey Brandon,

I doubt any more changes are going to happen, besides the motors for the "Classics Class".

Are you still racing 2wd and truck class??

i think the silver cans should go for the heavy metal class too. for guys wanting to run clods, it's their only choice besides 2 mild mods. you need to reverse the rotation of the rear motor. you can't do that with 27 turn stockers with fixed timing.

Yup, still got the other 2 classes planned.

is their a list of what class everyone is running? I am on the fence of running a truck or buggy? I have a RS4mt what class would that be in?

why not run both?

I ran 3 classes using a jrx-2, jrx-T and lunchbox. lots of fun.

This september I will have my daughter with me running her frog in classics, so I may have to cut one class myself due to logistics of driving/marshalling and vehicle prep.

Is this a trick question??

Woah, tough one there Rick, that would be something that I would run in 4wd against all the Schumachers, so I can "Monster Truck" my way to victory....

Makes you wonder, where would the Tamiya Toyota Pre-runner 4wd fall into?? It was released in 1994, it's in one of the R/C Car Action Mag scans.

Hey Aconsola,

If your daughter runs in "Classics" I'll let my daughter run my "Classics" entry, I really hope they do a separate class for the young ones...

well that would be great if I had a job. I am haveing a hard enough time finding the money for 1 brushless system much less two plus the cost of the trip. I was looking for a LRP 17.5 to replace my 10.5 motor but mine melted down this weekend so now I am really in the hole now. not working is putting a big dent in my racing budget so its going to be my prose or a jrxt? plus with no tracks within a 100 miles of me, I want the lesser class as I dont get to race but about once a year. you know I need a chance I dont think they will let me run with the kids
