Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi All, Thanks for a Fantastic Tuff Truck. We have only just returned to Sydney tonight. I will issues a post event statement within a few days.

There has been a Major Scoring Blunder at this years event. It was picked up on Monday. It was a very simple error and oversight. The related competitors ...

Fair point about the mud run tho as a competitor that needs to repair my truck will I be waiting to the last truck to run and wash there truck before I can return to the pit area then wait for a family work area bay?

You won't be waiting.

We have a separate road for competition vehicles & they ...

Its easy to get around the Booz restriction if you really want. You are allowed to leave and come back as many times as you want. They stop searching after a while and you can bring in more each time. Or just fill your water bottles with clear spirits.


Its guys that think like this we are happy ...

Hi All

There are a handful of new teams and many seasoned veterans. :D

Whilst we follow the pre-scruitineering guidelines for all teams, we do run a closer eye over new teams & old teams that have made vehicle changes since 2012 to ensure compliance & safety. And of course each team must be ready ...

TTC will never die !! Just the haters :finger:

It would be good if there are major rule changes coming for 2014 that it is flagged up sooner to let people building get it right and for people to plan any changes etc.

Please email the specs sheet of the material. petera@tuffevents.com

I have the full metallurgy breakdown for the steel I've used. It surpassed the minimum spec for ccda cage steel in every way.

Can I expect you to be able to take this into consideration ?

What material have you used? What is the OD & wall thickness in metric?

Cheers

70% of a MQ/GQ/GU/60/80/100/hilux is still huge compared to 80% of a car with seperated guards (jeep/40/etc)

Sorry, but No! 70% that's it. And yes a Hilux would be 70% ruling.

Hi All

We have amended the profile rule for vehicles that have a wider front grill/guard area as follows. i.e 60/80/100 Series Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol GQ/GU, Suzuki Vitara etc.


Front Vehicle Profile

This is applicable to all teams from today forward. 01/07/2012

Original Grill / headlight ...

Guys, we do listen, its not a closed book, its a progression, we will NEVER satisfy everybody even though we continue to try.

We are more than likely going to come up with an alternate percentage for front profile due to the fact that their is a disadvantage to teams using i.e Nissan Patrol GQ/GU ...

I'm not having a go or anything here guys but, the NB pipe i have used is Seamless, exceeds the minimum OD and ID and is of a tensile rating above 350Mpa

I cant help but feel a little annoyed at being tarred with the same brush as those using inferior seamed lower tensile pipe.

No where in the ...

5.3.11 GUIDANCE ON WELDING

All welding shall be of the highest possible quality with full penetration and preferably using a gas
shielded arc, and shall demonstrate good workmanship.

Are there any plans to change this in future?

You are a deat set oxygen theif :?

What do you reckon would happen to the event if there was an accident at TT, and someone ended up badly injured or worst case killed by a cage failing, and after an investigation it was found that the competing car did not comply to the rules which TT run under ...

How about answering some of the questions posted here to clarify the rules?

EG:
Just wanting to check. I'm assuming cutting sections out of the middle of the grill to clear winch motors and bar work dosnt affect my 80% so I can still cut a 1m grill down to 0.8. At a quick measure and ...

I thought it was quiet interesting at scrutineering, that the 'industry expert' testing wall thickness was also major sponsor handing out business cards.

So if I sponsor the event too can I get some custom made rules to benefit my business?

As far as I'm aware there has never been an injury to ...

Hey Guys,

We are looking into alternate solutions with CCDA regarding external cages. Will advise after CCDA confirms.

Regarding the Profile Rule. This was our written rule prior to this re-clarification:

This may sound dumb but how will the tt organisers figure out what people have made their cages from once is in the car? Someone could say its made from this sort of pipe when its not?

Its as simple as measuring the outer diameter in a few places. we want 44.45mm OD, Pipe size is 48.3mm & 42.2mm ...

Of course its overdue, but why wait so long to implement it. But to wrap my zook in 1 3/4 TUBE is stupid, may be needed to wrap your heavy weight patrol in it but the zooks don`t need such heavy shit.
