It seems not to matter what the parts came off of as long as the new chassis has the right name, i.e. 1/10 scale.
+1 . As long as the vehicle is meeting the dimension requirements, it can be legal.

Personally, I am not sure how they could really police it any other way as then you get into splitting hairs on how much of a "change" is present in the vehicle for it not to be considered a conversion? I mean technically, since losi has that 1/8 810 buggy that they call 1/8 scale and the SCTE appears to share alot of stuff with it, someone could argue its a "conversion" of a 1/8.


I am very curious to see how the ground up 4x4 SCTs are going to be able to complete with the 1/8 buggy based 4x4 SCTs.

If the whole SC104x4 thing doesn't work out, wouldn't be surprised to see an RC8 based one in the future.
