There will be three SCX30 classes allowed in the contest. Classes are based on the upgraded condition of the truck, Class 1 being stock/out of box. Class specifics are below.
So the competitors are aware, the competition course has been built using the SCX30 scale RC crawler. The Redcat Ascent 32 can be used however the SCX30 may have an advantage over it in stock form.
The SCX30 Chevy K10 gets an automatic 5 point penalty due to its longer stock shocks and bigger tires.
