The time has come, there has been too much watching and not enough "doing" so I'm going to try to control my fear and chuck my hat into the ring and sign up for the last round of XRCC.

What are the vehicle rules, that I need to conform to? :?:

My Jeep Wrangler is not over the top, but it is not road registered which means I'll be in the unlimited (or whatever it is called) class.

There are no XRCC build rules on the Extreme 4x4 Sport site, or will MMM send me those after I send him the cash. He's at the winch comp ATM otherwise I would have just asked him personally.

Thanks guys

MMM posted this in the thread about the 2nd round of XRCC

Back yet again, If you go by last years XRCC rules you will not have any troubles entering the last 2 Rounds. There will be a new set of easy to follow rules for next year.

Base rules are "OUTLAW" Anything goes, but the vehicle must be built to engineer type standards (workmanship) & not a heap of rusty pipe / vehicle tossed together to make a "Outlaw" entry. As per last year all vehicles will be approved by MMM before being allowed to start. A full rollcage (internal or external using material as stated in the XWC rules) & full harness plus window nets or wrist restrain. If any part of roof opening will allow a standard size soccer ball to pass through it, you then must cover it with 3mm alloy or 1.6mm steel sheet. Radiators & engine must be covered. Fuel & oil must be contained. Winches must be fitted & working for self recovery.

"MODTRUCK" Must be registered & backed up by current rego papers and apart from tyres must be legal !!!!. Roll cage, harness etc as above. Tyre size 38'' measured at 24psi. Winches as per above.

Scoring will be the person with the least points win. Each gate is worth 50 points etc. if you have 10 gates you start with 500 points & for every gate you pass you loss 50 points. So if you get through the 10 gates you will receive 0 (zero) points plus any other penalties for that course.

Reverse:- 1 point.

Spotter strap:- 2 points per gate.

Kone:- 10 points. NOTE all kones are live unless touched they are then taken out of play.

Off Course:-DNF. Your score will be up to where you went off course.

Rock stacking:- 10 points per gate & you must return rocks.

Outside assistance:- DNF Your score up to that point .

Any other questions drop us a line.

Regards David (MMM)

Thanks antt, your memory is much better than mine.

Sounds pretty easy to conform to his "base rules"

Any idea where I can get a set of last year's rules

Matt,

Your Rig would be fine!

Like ANTT said, full cage harness and window net/wrist restraint and a fire extinguisher and your pretty well set!

No worries then, I'll have these basics sorted and just rock up!

Oh looky here, look who jus turned up. I will have no such smut on my vehicle. That sort of display is just cheap, childish and plain unprofessional Mr Gordo.

does this mean a car that someone uses as a daily driver, pays rego and funs smaller than 38" tyres would be in mod class. However if that truck was running suspension with extended shackles, it would have to compete with outlaw class??? as it would not be FULLY road legal????

just though i would ask

Beebee's rig runs a coiled rear , was he in mod class before

Yes he is in Mod Class. What is wrong with that? A coil conversion can be complied. Extended shackles can not.

Yes i know thats why i just asked if he was in mod class before he did the coil conversion

I would say your best bet would be to ask him. Preferably via PM.

One very easy to guarantee that your rig classes as a mod truck is to drive your rig to the event. I think that MMM would put any rig thats driven to the event in modtruck. I guess as the sport progresses things will become more controlled and require more paperwork.
