Remote Control Competition Announced [Updated: Prize winners added]
While a legal way for kids to get involved in this great sport, remote control rock crawlers are also an affordable way for big kids to have some great 4×4 fun in the outdoors. Mini Tuff Trucks have been seen around Tuff Truck for years, but hopefully we see a lot more as we announce the Mini Tuff Truck Challenge.
An Australian RC Crawling official will design 2 courses in the Mini Tuff Truck RockCrawl course on Friday. The course is open all weekend to anyone prior to the Sunday morning competition. This is part of the great kids activities on offer.
Prizes
The guys at Go Hard Hobbies have generously offered some great prizes for the little Trucks of Tuff Truck turning this into a real competition.
Two classes will be run, each with a different prizes:

Stage Manager’s Report
The Go Hard Hobbies Mini Tuff Truck RockCrawl was a roaring success, with over 50 entrants across 3 classes and many spectators to cheer them on. Most entrants were under 16 and therefore were eligible for prizes. Everyone put in a great effort and competition was fierce but friendly. A few kids even owned their dads on the course!
Outlaw class was won by Cooper of Mullion Ck, and 2.2 class was taken out by Drew. Both kids are keen to return next year to defend their title. They’ll have to work hard, because numbers of competitors are sure to be up next year, with more tracks to complete and harder lines to conquer.

My bro and I are running one truck do we enter it seperatly and compete against each other or enter as a group and i drive on 1 and my bro drives on the other track or will we need to do something else?
Would like to keep it to one entrant per truck, but if things arent to busy then I dont think it will be a problem if you both have a crack.
so when is this going to be held and where is the destination?
It was held on the Sunday of the Tuff Truck event at the Mini Tuff Truck RockCrawl course (Milbrodale).
My son had a great time competing in this competition. Thanks to the organisers. Here’s an idea. How about a tuff truck competitor shirt to the winners next year? Or not. Thanks again.
