We wanted to create an equality in the class without going as far as saying you have to run this specific battery! So to make that happen we had to account for people running nimh packs as well as lipo packs. Most of our guys last summer running lipos had to add 5-6oz of weight (honestly the car handled better). And after a few practice laps some clay stuck to the chassis will help that weight :lol: and the weight is race ready so, bodies, and transponders are included in that weight. So if you would be running a house transponder you can add that weight on.

Can you link us to that kit you were mentioning? i dont remember the 2wd kits coming with the different tires even on the special editions but havent seen new kits.

Sean, 1/8 tires WILL NOT be allowed need to be SC specific designed tires




Changing Rx is fine, adding weight is a simple fix but we never had any trouble 6 cell nimh guys making weight with just a stock truck except a few who were running 3000 stick packs, which is why you may be running into issues with a 3200. We based the weight off of 3600 6 cell with a plug attached, as most nimh batteries being run last year were 3800, 4200, and 4600 packs so anything with less mah than 3600 on the nimh side may need a touch of weight. And lipos will need a good chunk

And I beleive the bridgestone tires are the 4X4 kit tires and do not come in the 2WD kit versions so they will not be allowed most likely
