what classes do you run exactly and what rules do you have for the classes? (motors, batts, tires, bodys, etc)

what is the price to race per class or do you have a different system?

Will RC10s with a monster truck conversion be allowed to run in the "Heavy Metal" class??

I wanted to build a Heavy Metal RC10, with V-thread spiked tires, traction will suck, but it'll look awesome.

sweet, i can convert my eagle into a trx-1 and keep my srt as is

my big question is bodys? i normaly run odball stuff (a lotus body is on my srt for example) would the srt be allowed to run that body or do i have to suck it up and run a roar legal 1/10th st body?

As Brandon posted, the rules so far, haven't changed.

The SRT would definitely run with the 2wd competition trucks. The Eagle, not sure about where that would fall into

Entry fee is $35 for the 1st class, $25 each additional class.

No nitro vintage class.

Hope to see you there!!!

Go ahead and run your oddball body, It'll surely be different, last year Melvinsarmy, ran his Losi LXT with a beetle body on it.

an eagle would be in the stadium truck class.

i may convert it into a trx-1 buggy (halfway there as it is) or if my trx-3 is done in time run that in 2wd buggy instead

edit: biggest problem as it stands right now is getting there, 18, no drivers lisense and i may or may not be inlisting this summer

Thanks guys seems you got it while I was sleeping in the job. Yes those would be in the stadium truck class.

Rc10 is an RC10 so I'd put it in stadium truck as well. Think of heavy metal more like a truck version of classic. I had my second thoughts about letting king cabs (I ran one too) in there bc it's not really a monster truck but it's def no 10t either. If it gets to a point where people don't want to run in it bc everyone has king cabs etc then I'll make changes.

i'd really like to see the classic, aswell as the heavy metal class, become more of a "kit type" class with only period hopups. that would include tires, too. especially the heavy metal class. a class designed for monster trucks, and guys are running jconcept double d's. i mean, come on............
