The Truggy thing really doesn't have the same consiquence as buggies with panels unless someone is importing the Terrible Herbst truggy. A Pro Buggy with truck panels is a far more competitive option in Extreme 2wd than a truck without, in Pro Buggy at this point. Imagine if the Mickey Thompson Truck was something other than a Southern cross (no disrespect Bob). If others are putting a truck body on a buggy and running in Pro class then thats where they should be.
Great disscusion. Aorcom should have there own forum site, or at least keep a close eye on this one.

What we are all discussing now wasn't a "problem" until someone did it. If there is a problem with a regulation now, now is the time to speak up - not wait until somebody uses the regulation to their advantage, and then try to retrospectively "fix" it by regulating someone out.

to bad the car will have to be in proclass.
what is with pink.
do the people with pink cars love barbie or the mardi gra.
that rexona thing on tv with the rush buggy was a good hint that the panels of the buggy is still under the the truck ones. if u wanted to have the panels of truck on it wouldn't u have them on good with plates going to the panels instead of just having crapy bracing to the panels.
isn't the rule of shrinking the size of the panels around any more. because the panels look a lot smaller than the ones on the grants ford powered trophy truck.
and the look the same shape and everything as there panels.

I know the panels have been shrunk from the original size and why has nothing been done. By the rules this illegal for class four and when is the national pannel going to address this breach of the rules. I have submited recomidations in writing to the pannel and have not recivied any answers from them to date. I feel that the pannel has to stop hideing and make a decision before the national series commencies .

I must agree about the 'rexona rush' show.
I havn't seen the truck in the flesh, and therefore have not commented....but the closeup shots on TV showed an obvious buggy underneath, even with the old signwriting!
Maybe the rush crew could at least repanel the underskins to make the vehicle look a bit better, and maybe enclose the engine area a bit?
Just constructive critisism, no offence intended.....just MY opinion:)
Good on the rush team for more exposure, it can never hurt!

so with the ruling to continue as is, I guess the next thing to do would be to have a big group hug, and enjoy racing in the best class of off road racing, extreeeeme 2wd !

You might need a hug Warren but i would rather keep trying to get what most of the class seems to want. Next week i will be contacting those on my email list to see if the majority want to continue our fight. This time we will only put forward one rule change so as not to cause any great change to the class, all we want is a clear line between trucks and buggies.
More to follow next week.
Just for the record, the new class regs and new class proposal was put together by Dan Rogers AORCom member for WA. With no disrespect to Dan this proposal got our original plan a little sidetracked, that being one of just bringing in a simple rule to make it virtually impossible to have any more buggies with bodies in our class.

Followed the link about the trophy karts in NZ (gee they've got there act together) and had a look at there thunder truck class. It looks to have some interesting rules to allow for rear engine trophy trucks but not transaxle style. That is that the engine flywheel must be located forward of the diff. While that doesn't completely eliminate transaxles it would be difficult to have a forward mounted motor on a transaxle and get a truck body on it.

this has been a great thread with much heated discussion and everyone has had their chance to voice their opinion, but like any good discussion it has fizzled out, and is no longer constructive.

I would encourage members of the affected class to continue to fight for what they believe should happen in the future of this class through the appropriate channels.
