What exactly do you mean they make rules to fit their business needs??

Do you guys even realize these rules were established BEFORE alot of those business' were in existence. AND those business were established Becuase of the needs of the rules. The OG crawlers had to MAKE all the parts themselves until a business stepped up to it better and cheaper.

And this is NOT 1:1 Crawling, this hobby crawling and these hobby rigs are far more capable then the 1:1 by comparison thats why certain restrictions/rules need to be in place.

So beat away at that dead horse, but as Dezfan says get enough of your friend together to join a USRCCA club and have your voice heard. Good luck
