1. Any nitro engine, purchased modified or DIY as well as exhaust equipment.
2. Any commercially available platform and parts -vehicle weight factored into top speed to eliminate class types.
3. GPS, radar, or some other accurate form of speed measurement.
4. video showing 2 passes, top speed average of both.

vote your way, stake your claim.

Thought they tried something similar to this idea a while back than people started getting into arguments what was allowable, and whatnot.

These rules sound way more lax though than the ones last time from what I can recall.

I dont want it to be about rules. whatever motor, whatever pipe, whatever car. if i get enough positive response, ill come up with a formula to score cars based on engine size, weight, and MPH. id like for it to stay fun, and let the people who can accomplish something have a little street cred.

There really shouldn't be any rules besides the speed measurement requirements (GPS) and a video. You have a nitro powered surface vehicle with at least one drive wheel, see how fast it goes. I don't see a point for classes, this would be a competition for top speed and top speed only...

savagecommander

right, no classes. i think theres more of an accomplishment in making a revo hit 60 than a rustler though, dont you?

I dunno.. with thinks like this to a certain extent I prefer at least comparative classes, having tuning skill and setup being more important than who has the most money to put into their car.

savagecommander

Then dont vote in on it. If you like setup and tuning, race at a track. I'm looking to breathe some life back into nitro

my car is mesured in km/h.... so wont work lol

SyCo_VeNoM

you non-americans, and your whacky metric...

Here your problem solved
Mph X 1.609344 = Kph
Kph / 1.609344 = Mph

phmaximus

lol... if only the traxxas TQi could do that.

Hey have u guys seen how accurate the hot wheels radar gun is.... not bad for a toy. apparently its a real Radar gun, and there are a few cool hacks to turn it into a range finder

SyCo_VeNoM

Wish I knew about these sooner I might a picked one up, currently I can buy a normal radar gun for less than most places want for a new one on amazon [:@]

Here is the one I started several months ago. It never really took off and people were wanting to enter on road cars in an offroad challenge. IMO that should be where the classes should be divided. Onroad nitro and offroad nitro.
