I'll make a vehicle for this in the next day or two, put me down for ACF and probably 4 or 8 wheel. do 'skid steer' vehicles count?
[QUOTE=iwancoppa;44542865][B]do 'skid steer' vehicles count?[/B][/QUOTE] Yes, you can enter those but you would struggle like crazy in my opinion.
PTuga and I are joining in a 4x4 electric (E2 simulated, non infinite torque). will try to get some pictures going after it's done being coloured.
HEY MY TIRES ARN'T UNREALIST- Oh yeah they are.
what wheel size do you suggest i use for this competition? because i have put wheel size 45's and they look tiny going over bumps and stuff on carconstruct... anyway here it is: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dTaTZwz.jpg?1[/IMG]
so many classes. You need to simplify it.
Could probably stop at 8 wheels, any more than that and it gets rather overkill and pointless. Also, do stock and unlimited only, no point in having the others...

Well it's really short notice but I can try to make it out. Ill be using this: [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/xk9zXXV.jpg[/img_thumb] My LPT 150 but with some offroading modifications, of course. Wheel size 35, ACF driven. Steam name is Steely Johnson
Can I enter with a thruster engine powered vehicle?
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;44559627]Can I enter with a thruster engine powered vehicle?[/QUOTE] I don't see why not actually Alright, PTuga and I decided to make a thruster engine instead of the simulated electric engine.
As long as it's got some realistic specs maybe
[QUOTE=Ldesu;44562632]As long as it's got some realistic specs maybe[/QUOTE] I withdraw my entry.
I am postponing the competition as I have just remembered I am free next week too, this gives me more time organise and all of you guys more time to build your vehicles, it will run Wednesday-Saturday next week.
I think you should specify the difference between stock and unlimited, that seems kind of arbitrary in gmod. Also, probably simplify the classes [editline]17th April 2014[/editline] I think wheel diameter should be the clarifier for that. [editline]17th April 2014[/editline] Stock: 45s and below, wheel wells, 4 wheels only, maybe some power restriction Unlimited: 4-8 wheels, body not required, no power restriction (trial trucks and stuff)

Pro stock is modified stock cars, lift kits bigger wheels etc. Unlimited is highly modifed new chassis etc. An example would be the Bowler Wildcat is the unlimited Land Rover Defender. Super unlimited, is 100% purpose built completely from scratch. Full tubeframe body etc (Showtime crawler is a good example)

[QUOTE=NO.;44579540]Yeeaaahhhh :/ I didn't know how to.[/QUOTE] Click on the link you just tried to use, click the big green "view image" button, right click the picture on the next page, click "copy image URL" in the context menu that appears, and paste that url inbetween [noparse][img][/img] tags (or better yet use [t][/t] tags so people don't complain about it stretching the page horizontally and breaking out of Facepunch).[/noparse]
[QUOTE=NO.;44579540]Yeeaaahhhh :/ I didn't know how to.[/QUOTE] Use an actual image hosting site like imgur, or puush. Much less hassle to get pics to work on forums like that.
