ROAR drops MT and 1/10 Truck from Nats
 

"On April 22nd, ROAR President Dawn Sanchez met with manufacturer representatives and Fuel Off-road Committee members in attendance at this year's Truck Nationals held at The Nitro Pit in Phoenix, Arizona. This group discussed the viability of re-combining the 1:8 Buggy Nationals with 1:8 Truck Nationals. It was decided that in order for this to work effectively, Production Monster Truck and 1:10 Gas Truck would have to be dropped from the Nationals program.

Those in attendance at the meeting were unanimous in their decision that this would be the most cost-effective method of handling Fuel Nationals. Not only would this be more cost-effective for teams and manufacturers, it would mostly help the privateer who has to go out-of-pocket for their expenses."

Wow, say good-bye to racing the Revo 3.3 competitively... And the Associated GT2, Losi gas 1/10 truck, etc.

Just in time for the revo 3.3 platinum....

Yep, thinking the same thing

Roar blows!!!!!

Wow, and I have been upgrading my Revo to race with sway bars, wing, etc. Oh well, they help for bashing anyway...

Not if said privateer just bought either of the vehicles that are not raced now...

So are you guys saying that the Revo can't be competitive in the Truggy class? :whistle:

Why isn't there another organization like ROAR? It seems all I hear is how they follow the recommendations of anyone who has deep pockets. Not sure how true this is since I don't race nor do I follow the sport.

There is, It's called RC Pro. They are not affiliated with IFMAR though, may be a good thing. Instead of dropping their MT and gas ST classes, They opened them up for electric, 4 stroke and diesels. All the racing in my area run RC Pro rules, Except for the oval stuff. Here's a link, they cover onroad off road in both Nitro and electric

maybe it doesnt fit truggy specs?

I think it would be great if the REVO was aloud in the truggy class

Why wouldn't they allow it in the truggy class? Can't you put a center diff in it? Or is it because of the 2-speed?

I just looked through the 2008 rules and can't find the rules for the truggy class. I hate ROAR, which is why I didn't bother to renew my membership.

ROAR = Roar Obviously Afraid of Revo :rofl:

ROAR= Ruling Out Awesome Racers

ROAR seems to be run by folks who like to make rules that keeps real powerful technology from going main stream.
