Until you start dropping parts and start going 600+ kph on an uncrackable heavy.
This isn't the thread for discussing why the Pegs were banned, but what the hey, I'll say it anyway. Pegs are banned because they encouraged the hit and run-away style of play. This refers to getting the AP lead at the start of the match through rushing, or just being in the lead, then just dropping stuff to get as light as possible and run for the rest of the five minutes (or however long tournament rounds last in your area). Pegs buff the effectiveness of this tactic to the extreme, because they increase top speed and acceleration. Try fighting against that tactic, it's definitely not fun.
Even if your consciously trying not to play cheap, the fact is once you start dropping parts (to access your hangered weapons, for example) Pegs will still buff your evasion. You'll still get the benefit of not being hittable by anything LR has to offer, generally speaking. But it's not the player's fault. It's the game's. So the next best thing to hacking the game and changing the stats of the parts is to just exclude certain ones from play. The goal is to keep the playing field fair, but still competitive.
Anyway, as you'll see <a href='http://ravenrepublic.net/index.php?showtopic=274' target='_blank'>here</a>, we allow Pegs on hovers and tanks, since while they do boost speed, they also have more risks.
On the flipside,

jonevangelist here brings up a good point. Just because we're following it doesn't mean you have to also (unless of course, you're participating in our tourney).
Staying on topic, gimmick ACs are fun. You should try flamethrowers sometime, lol. XD
