Is 1:10 Off Road Still a Non Contact Sport
Is 1:10 Off road racing still a non contact sport. In the late 80 and early 90s I would say yes.
But now with brushless systems and Lipo's is this still the case with all car's being very fast. And how many drivers still know that It is a non contact sport. Please note I have not added this post to slag people off but to see how many people are aware that 1:10 off road racing was and still should be as much as possible non contact.

Rubbing is racing
 It seems to be pretty much encouraged with the SC trucks!!

The SC trucks have a rulebook of their own for contact...that's for sure!!!
I've only been racing a few years and would def say the intention is non contact, and I've not thought otherwise.

I don't think the intent has ever changed, what has changed seemingly is the unwritten gentlemans agreement that if you take someone out you stop, wait for them to be marshalled and then go. This used to be the norm, now it is the extreme exception.
