Class 1 VS Class 2 What are the Differences? SORRCA Specs & How to modify Scale Crawler Comp Trucks 2020
Whenever we are out and competing, the most frequently asked question is,
"What is the difference between class 1 and class 2?"
Hence the video was made to answer this very question.
We know the SORRCA class rule is complicated. We tried to be as clear as possible for you to start building and modifying the truck in your favorite class. When you know your limit, you can build it as capable as possible while meeting all the requirements.
Scale national is right around the corner. Go build that awesome truck!

Great visual explanation of the rules, much easier to comprehend when seeing actual rigs and the various modifications.

[@slopppy75]

I'm glad it worked out! thanks for the kind words.

[@slopppy75]

I don't have instagram. You can always start a class 1 or even class 0 competition. There is class 0 in SORRCA LIGHT rules and it's more strict than class 1. Super scale guys love class 0

[@slopppy75]

Thank you!

[@thecarcollector8954]

Awesome video. Really helped out a lot but I do have a question. I have an element rc Enduro Sendero that I swapped out the rear shocks with cantilever shocks, but I have no rear mounts for the body anymore as they don't fit with the cantilever setup. Currently I just use a pair of zip ties to keep the body rear on with the original body mounts on the front. Would this break any rules or is it still good. I haven't had time to try out at a competition yet so I want to make sure I'm good or if I need to re modify it.

[@bradthomas3665]

Great video Just wondering the video show that class 2 trucks with a cage need rear shock hoops attached to the cage. Where does the Gmade BOM fit in with the cantilever rear end ?

[@brunogex2759]

Merci 👍

[@MAYERMAKES]

very interesting to see the differences to european class definitions I wittnessed so far. Especially how in some regards SORRCA strictly defines the tube requirements for a truggy, but In europe C1 does not allow the trie to portrude from the fenders, basically you can only drive what is considered Street legal in C1..and they always want a a license plate that has to be from the drivers home region. I see positives in all version!

[@slopppy75]

your c1 sounds a lot like C0 here. Not official class but it might be in the future

[@Infomonger]

This is great, can you cover scale points too?

[@crawleradventures8189]

Can you use cantilever suspension on a class 1 flatbed build ? Great video aswell very helpful as am attempting 1st class 1 build.

[@yfellimban]

Great video man. Keep up the good work. Is there any rules specifying the motor type (brushed /brushless)?

[@slopppy75]

You’re good with any types of motor. The motors can’t be mounted on axles however ( MOA - motor on axle is illegal )

[@yfellimban]

@@slopppy75 thank you man. Sadly, we just started to have championships here in my country and the rules are just totally different and ridiculous. All my trucks got disqualified for having a brushless sensored system. All the other rules are totally wrong. Not just for crawling as all other races have wrong rules. For example, I've seen 1/8 trucks racing with 1/10 trucks. Short Course trucks racing with buggies and druggies. Monster trucks also race with other categories. Now all this and the still have a rule against brushless motors for crawling. Not going to enter any championship until they evolve.

[@staypositive0108]

Great job on the video mate...🙂🙂🙂 do you have restrictions on electronic on c1 c2 and c3? And gearing ratio or 1st and 2nd speed on the transmission and dig... thanks mate sorry just new on comp build

[@slopppy75]

There is no restriction on gear ratio or electronics used in any class. DIG is only on class 3. Let me know if there is specific parts you want to use that could raise a question

[@yamahschector]

Great. I am just concerned about using my proline Ford bronco body that does not fit a stock axial scx10 frame. Can I modify the frame or find a shorter frame

[@joeg1129]

For C1 on metal chassis rails can we use carbon shock hoops for the rear? Great video! Thanks

[@slopppy75]

You can use any material for shock hoops.

[@WilsonsGarage330]

Nice rc crawler course

[@slopppy75]

Thank you

[@WilsonsGarage330]

Your welcome well done

[@baldguyforpar]

is there an in between? class 1.5, minimum front bumper and tires up to 4.73? i think it would be an interesting class. since you would still require class 1 specs such as front windshield and width and a few class 2 contingences' like tire size and front bumper.

[@patc8653]

HI im totally new to Crawl comp classes. I just purchased an SSD Trail Finder.. what is the best class for this rig to run on?

[@Labonlabonne]

Great video. I have a Vaterra Twin Hammers. I gess it only feet in the class 2? Unless adding wheel whels, and bumpers ?

[@slopppy75]

Sorrca states “Tub chassis are allowed, but chassis must be covered by the body and follow all other scale rules per class guidelines. An example of a tub chassis vehicle is CC-01, DF01, Twin Hammers, etc.” I think you can run in any classes as long as you meet all the other requirements

[@Labonlabonne]

CRAWLER75 ok. Thank you.

[@michaelrichardson3899]

I am interested in class 2 … question about wheel base … is there a set wheel base for c2 I’m under the impression that it is 12.5” ? I do understand the bumper and chassis combined must be 3” longer than the wheel base .

[@Labonlabonne]

Hi to all. One question. Where would you categorize a car like the vaterra twin hammers. It is also a crawler, but the chassis don’t have rails. About the body, it can be custom made to fit C1 or C2, but the chassis... Also it is front independant suspension and rear solid axle.

[@primordial_bear6332]

I saw my dads truck, sweet!

[@slopppy75]

Very cool!

[@morocho1979]

Question I have element enduro sendero with proline cage and mojave front cab is class 2 or can be use on class 1, and nice video

[@slopppy75]

Thanks. Proline back cage is dovetailed flat/tube bed. Class 2 only

[@evoxer87]

Excellent video! btw is there any class 0? They would be stock or factory rc rigs? or more a scale rc just like a real 1:1 street legals?? Thank you!

[@slopppy75]

evoxer87 class0 is not official but the crawl space Colorado has C0 rules laid out. Basically, hard body only, no trimming, max 4.0” tires and higher scale point cap are the notable differences.

[@evoxer87]

@@slopppy75 thank you for the info! 🙏🏼👍🏼👌🏼

[@ArmanRC]

oo i see now class 1 most for realistic scale, class 2 more for custom to be push the limit of crawler ability, thanks for explanation

[@SidewaysCars]

Cool vid! And I do have a question. For windshields. The TRX4 uses a sticker. Would that be considered a windshield or does it have to be see through (for class 1)?

[@cardboardjunkie4291]

Does the Redcat Gen8 Axe have a legal C1 chassis? Great Video thanks

[@slopppy75]

Yes of course. Portals(Gen8/scx10.3/ trx4) are legal in all classes. Thanks for watching

[@DavidVanderWyst]

By tire size definition the TRX4 Defender would be considered a class 2 truck at stock. Is that correct? 117mm stock tire is 4.6 inches, video claims 4.19 before moving into class 2. Am i understanding this correctly?

[@GearDownCrawlerz]

The segmemt abought chassis. I have a custom carbon chassis 15 inch long rails.. resembles a few of the pro style chassis I seen in vid. Is their a class 2 rule for a custom 2 rail chassis ...its 15inch long but shock points made in to chassis an its low center gravity skid

[@darirussell5676]

I just got my first rc truck. It's the easy rc 1/18 glacier square body. I'm deciding on getting into rc crawling and competition. I removed my rear bumper for more clearance. Is that against class 1 rules?.

[@41sniper]

I want to build a C2 rig from the SCX10 Pro Kit and would like to do a half cab... what are the rules around the bed area for C2?

[@unc13buck]

I think I know the answer but it doesn't really say definitively anywhere... can you cut the chassis to shorten it at all in class 1? It says full length but then also says must be as long as wheelbase.

[@rikwedgwood1164]

Any axle restrictions in class 1 or 2? What classes do portals , ie: Trx4 &Gen8 fit into? I know of some groups that bump your truck up 1 class on account of portals. Ie: build class 2 Trx4, & it gets bumped up to class 3 on account of portals. What are SORRCA rules on portals? Thx in advance for any info. 🤙

[@slopppy75]

there is no restriction on portals in any class. You can run in c1 c2 and c3. The biggest drawback of portals are less steering angle and elevated center of gravity

[@iroquoispliskin6077]

Are there certain chassis, tires or other parts that excel, or seem good but actually suck, at these competitions?

[@Gustavo-ld1sr]

The Everest gen 7 sport/pro has integrated shock mounts, would it be class 2?

[@sb4pro]

So is the rc4wd c2x REALLY considered class 2 out of the box or does it need more ?

[@Mad_Max1069]

1. Are there restrictions on motor size and how many you have? 2. Is a solid Axel required? 3. Any restrictine on batteries or components. 4. Max and min ride hight? 5. Max length and width? 6. Is there a restriction on finder width? 7. Weight restriction? 8. How are you allowed to use winches?

[@GuyonaMoose]

Is redcat gen 8 chassis class 1 legal? I thought to have portals on truck it must have them in its real life counterpart. Unimog for example.

[@slopppy75]

Yes gen8 chassis is class 1 legal to my knowledge.

are the new carbon fiber frames C-1 LEGAL...such as BANGGOOD

[@rcmike09]

I have a trx4 with a tube rear, but not technically a truggy. Is that not class 2 legal then?

[@slopppy75]

You’re fine. You just don’t get a truggy scale point. It would be tube bed and class 2 legal assuming everything else is within the spec.
