Around my area, most tracks are saying 2S battery max, to keep the cost down, since most people already have 2S lipos from 1/10th racing.
6lb min. weight sounds heavy. Not sure what most trucks weigh out of the box with typical motor and esc running gear.

What about the Robitronic BR50 , its 1/8 buggy based . Or if Associated decided too market an RC8e based 1/10 bodied SCT (all the parts already exist from the SC8) ?
Battery limits are the only way to level the playing field IMO .
I would love to run my converted RC8 against the other 4x4 SCT's but it really wouldnt be fair IMO ....

Going by the rules the BR50, Losi 8 2.0 conversion, SC8 would not fit the width rule. They are all over 12.00" width

6lbs is HEAVY. My jammin weighs less than 6lbs ready to go. You don't need a minimum weight, you need a maximum weight to keep the 1/8 conversions out.
IMO the only rules you need are a 2s limit, SC tires only and no 1/8 conversions(this includes factory vehicles built from 1/8 platforms). You have to keep the 1/8 cars out of it for it to be fair to the true 1/10 trucks. The weight advantage of the 1/8 cars would destroy the 1/10 trucks when those intentional or otherwise hacks happen. Those are the rules at most tracks already and I think they are perfect.

That's where one big issue comes in. The rules need to dictate that the vehicle is not based on a 1/8 scale buggy platform whether or not it is sold as a SC truck from the factory. A MAXIMUM weight will keep 1/8 scale's out of it! Or you can simply say "No 1/8 scale based vehicles"

besides weight, why are 1/8 convertions so hated?? I really enjoy mine

The manufactures will then start simply labeling them as 1/10th since they fit all the same sizes as the Slash,Sc10's..etc. I imagine that is coming next. Manufactures want to sell kits foremost. Also ROAR and other sanctions don't have max weights, just minimums last I checked. A mugen mbx6T weighs 7.4lbs as a roller while a Tamiya 801XT weighs 9.5lbs as a roller. Part of the reason why they don't limit the maximum. My mugen is tons lighter then my friends 801XT, but the mugen eats him alive.....I will gladly let him be heavier.....takes away from his runtime and driveability. Also where do you draw the line on the max weight? My buddy's 2S 8000mah Slash PE is a heavy sucker. 7.2lbs RTR with that batt if I remember correctly. Freaking battery alone is like 640grams.

I think a sc8/ 1/8 class needs to be formed then, I think there are a lot of them out there.

It's definitely a tough issue. But one that needs to be addressed none the less.
1/8 conversions will have an edge up handling wise as well as durability wise. If you allow 1/8 conversions to run you will make a lot of guys that own the 1/10 trucks mad, that's a lot of people already and it continues to grow.

Maybe 7lbs limit RTR??? I don't think you can no way make a 1/8 scale conversion weigh that light with electronics. Still limit it to production only Corr trucks as well. No one makes one yet that is 1/8th scale that fits those requirements. Hell if they did then let them run with the SCT's cause now they are the same as the rest. I just don't see how you could run 1/8th scale drivetrain and parts and be that light. A Mugen buggy or maybe an Xray could be that light, but I doubt it with electronics and all.
