🌲 Trail & Scale
Scale trucks driven on natural trails — judged on scale realism, accessories and how well they drive, not just raw capability.
Trail and scale driving is about realism and the experience of running a miniature 4x4 through real terrain. Events often use scale score sheets (points for functional accessories like winches, mirrors, spare tires, and for a clean, believable build) alongside a driven course. Scoring systems such as SORRCA are widely used; check the specific ruleset for your event.

📋 The exact rules vary. Tire diameter, wheelbase, motor and body limits differ by sanctioning body and event. Check the current rulebook for your competition — e.g. SORRCA for scale scoring, or your local club / series for comp classes. Blank beats a wrong number, so we don't publish measurements that change year to year.
