So, here are the rules we will use.

You must start with a Losi MRC!

  • 9″ Max Wheelbase
  • 8″ Max Width
  • 1.9″ Wheels
  • NO Digs
  • 2 Wheel Steer only

We will use 12-inch minimum gate spacing on the course. I am evaluating different gates to use with the MRC. Seems like they should be smaller than the traditional tennis ball for 2.2 rigs. Racquet balls look good and are on the way!

I think out of the box this rig is very capable and a well driven stock Losi Mini Rock Crawler can be competitive. Modding can be a double edge sword. Gain in one area and lose in another. Part of the fun of crawling is trying new ideas so I can’t see how a Box Stock class will really work in practice even though it seems like a good idea at first.

That said, I am not planning major mods to my MRC and I think the only additional costs I am considering over and above the stock truck are a 2S LiPo and Blue tires when they come out. Everything else will be relocating stock parts. Probably! Maybe…

If we have enough participation I will consider scoring Box Stock rigs in their own class as well as in the overall scheme of things. You would not run separately simply scored as a subset of the overall.
