In the Tom Woods Rock-and-Roll roller driveshaft thread http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=113141 Jess showed pictures of his Spy-Roll shaft.

Looks kinda cool, dunno how it will work, unless you're climbing rock with a matching threadcount. Seriously, though, it can't hurt and might help...

But I ran across this when I was reading the rules section of the CalROCs site: Tires are to be the only source of forward, side, or back movement of the vehicle. Any device used to move the vehicle in these directions other than the tires is considered a tool or winch and points will be assessed accordingly.

Whatta-ya-think? Will CalROCs/RCAA count this?

Good question.... I have the one and only spy-roll on my rig.... Haven't been able to put it to the ultimate test yet though. I need to get up to Nevada and go wheelin. BAD!!!!

Ribbed for whose enjoyment?

One more thing... if you really read that rule quoted above to its fullest meaning, I guess they's penalize gravity, since it doesn't always pull in the same direction as the tires.

according to those rules for Calroc it looks/sounds like it won't be allowed.. How about you lingering officials what you guys say.......

it wont drive the vehicle, or have the capacity to drive it out of tight spots, looks like more of a slider for a driveshaft, and only THE will it offer any protection, maybe slitghtly move the rgi, but doubtful at best

i dont think it can be counted as a movement device

but cool idea!

say the thing actually did grab enough thread to move it along..... wouldnt it just move it sideways????

Its no different then spy-rolling the hell out of your shaft almost to the point of ripping it in two - Run it- ! that's arguement- Jess
