We run a cross platform rule at bridgford so if you want to use a Slash tyre on a Sc10 and you can get it to fit then you can use it. Personally I think it works to a degree, although no-one has actually tried it yet but the option is availiable.
Kit tyres is a good idea but it always comes undone when there is a shortage of availibilty, trust me i used to race Tamiya eurocup where you had to run tamiya only tyres and there was usually one round every season where there was a shortage of tyres and the people who had them benefited it from it. We even had it this year at the bridgford Short course truck championship. I would say there are enough tyres on the market now that mean people should be able to have a choice about what they run providing they are designed for short course truck use.
I think, based on what we have run at bridgford and what people on this forum suggested when the trucks came out the rules should be as follows.
- Any availiable 1/10 scale 2wd electric short course truck.
- Any availiable tyre can be used provided it has been designed for short course truck use, (No 1/8th wheel adaptors allowed)
- 10.5 Brushless or 19 turn motor limit
- Must use Short course style bodyshell.
- Battery and motor rules as per BRCA 2010 lists.
