This isn't a class for just any truck with a set of crawler tires.
The Texas Two Step calls for a realistic, street-legal-style trail truck in true 1/10 scale. That means a full hard body, a full-width windshield, a complete interior with a realistically sized human driver, front and rear bumpers, inner fenders, functional headlights and running lights, and realistic tires no larger than 4.19 inches in outer diameter.
There are mechanical and appearance requirements, too. Tucked or pinched bodies, axle-mounted servos, trailing arms, 6x6 configurations, bare-metal chassis, and easily visible electronics don't meet the class requirements. If the hood opens, a scale engine is required.
And don't forget the recovery gear. It needs to look the part and be suitable for actual scale recovery.
In other words, this is about building a rig that looks believable, carries the right equipment, and can back up its appearance on the trail.
It's Not Just About the Build
One of the things we love about the TPRC Texas Two Step is that it brings together two sides of the scale RC hobby.
There's the creativity and craftsmanship that go into building a realistic rig. Then there's the driving, problem-solving, and teamwork that happen when that rig meets the trail.
A beautiful build is worth appreciating. But watching a driver use a winch, work through a difficult obstacle, or help another crawler get moving again? That's part of the fun, too.
The trail run gives every qualified rig a story. The Show & Shine gives drivers a chance to share that story with the community. Somewhere between the mud, the scratches, the recovery gear, and the friendly trail-side commentary, there's a whole lot of RC fun to be had.
Ready to Take the Two-Step Challenge?
If you're building a rig for the TPRC Texas Two Step, start with the requirements, check your scale details, and make sure your recovery gear is ready for more than decoration.
Then get out there and put your build to work. We believe a true scale masterpiece should be more than shelf candy. It should be built to explore, prepared to recover, and ready to come home with a few stories to tell.
So bring your best build, bring your trail skills, and bring your sense of adventure. Just don't bring the detailing kit to clean off your trail-earned patina.
Built for the Stage. Proven on the Trail.
Stay wild. Keep crawling.
