why would a winch fitted to an offroad vehicle be frowned upon??

i use my winch because i build and drive my riggs like challenge trucks.

Because
a leafed truck will never be able to compete with a Linkd Honcho.

And a Truck fitted with a winch has an advantage over a truck that doesn't

I was trying to make it fairer on those without deep pockets

true on both counts, but I have to echo Denty's post.
In 1:1 offroading

you don't get penalised for a winch or two or coilovers instead of leaves, but you do generally go up a class or three depending on just how many traction aids you have ( lockers, winches, x-springs, tyre size)

Now I'm easy on the rules just as long long as we all know what we're playing to, but to bring deep pockets into it is a bit silly cos a winch doesn't have to cost a fortune ( as you found out recently) and I seem to recall that most of the vehicles that didn't have them last time weren't exactly pocket money models (don't count mine as they are w.i.p's and not really contenders either, just there for the fun).

Instead of penalising for carrying winch(es) why not reward for not using it. ie if a section necessated winching thru by 50% or more of the field, then those that drive it could earn/lose bonus points???

leaves vs links is an awkward one tho as lots of 1:1's have leaves as standard, and lots of others have coils/links and there's no difference in scoring them, but how about a similar appendix to the winch one above somehow if needed ??

Like I say, I'm not worried either way (altho some of the changes could well benefit me amongst others ) as long as I know what hymn sheet I'm singing from.

just my two penn'orth (and to take the heat off some of the others )

I just think it's tacking all the fun out off it mate, thats why i said just all agree on one set of rules and that will be that ..........

Any way how are you Gizwaz , are the kids still in to the rc trucks lol

Define Cheap?

I scratched a Complete steel Frame Rear Cage and a Full set of Hi-lift links for £12.00 plus paint.

agreed not a kit but you can pick up a Second hand hi-lift rolling chassis or Trailfinder for £100

[Dready]

I have adjusted the rules to my comp details in July Comp Post

Main changes:-
NO penalty for a Rollover
Winch it back No Penalty
Turn it by hand Penalty

Time limit on stage every minute over a Penalty.


I'm going to stick my neck out and say lets see how it goes but i'm organising it so this is the hymn sheet.
