Trucks for winter series or fun?

[wylie]

I would happily give up a round of qualiyfing to do longer finals, I see no sense in doing 5 minute qualifying to do a a 5 minute final. seems very outdated.
Perhaps the other classes would like to consider these options later. ( not to be discussed here though )

Hmmm, I wish I had kept my XXT now.

ok, who's got a 1/10th leccy truck they wanna swap for an RC8 roller? lol

[Crazy L]

So, this subject has died a quiet death. I was keeping an eye on this too. Anymore for anymore?

Mine is ready to roll, if weather is good it will be rolling Sunday.

Guys

My thoughts are that they will envolve and become a regular class, we need to use as a bit of fun and then a believe at the first winter series meeting become an active part of the series, this had not been discussed with the full commitee yet. I do not believe there will be an issue with running a truck class, as long as min of 7 support each meeting.

So there's me and cammers, who else has one?

Not thought about wet tyres yet, but will find out what works lol

This will be a class that I run along with 2 or 4wd class btw

Thanks Steve

Dms racing are doing some good deals.

This caught my attention

£114.95 for a brushless truck with transmitter seems to be a no brainer.

Any thoughts on it?

If you are looking at the RTR stuff I think you might be better looking at something like this:

£140 for a RTR RC10T4 seems a pretty good price and spares will be a bit easier to get hold of.

Personally if I was going to get a truck I think I would probably go for a Losi 22T like Steve and Cammers - £170 and stick some old spare electrics in it.

Despite the likelihood of not being being able to race much over winter I am still tempted. Hoping to pop down on Sunday and to have a look at the trucks and try and steal a go on someone's - I'll take it easy I promise.

It's only when you start to look like him you have to worry

'TRUCKS'. Yes. Mine will be with me this week. Busy for the next few weeks though; then away for a week. With any luck , may have built for start of Winter Series. I am away all that week, and not home till the Saturday, (27th October), so will have to see. Should be fun. Watched a video on Youtube. The Losi 22T was on the track with several other 1/10 buggies. Every time the truck caught a buggy, the buggies seemed to fall over in amazement. Or was it intimidation. Class!! Bring it on

I'm up for a bit of trucking action . I am after all, the Last Monster Trucker .

Just gotta look at bank balance etc.

[Cammers]

So far with people who have trucks, me and Steve, and people who have ordered trucks and people that say they are getting a truck, I count 9 trucks, so be a good heat.
Come on you guys, get them ordered, get them built and get them on the track.
You know it doesn't make sense but be a laugh

[Briangb]

Hi Truckers.
Well I have mine now. With any luck, I may be able to start build this weekend. In all honesty, I am doubtful that it will be ready for 28th, for reason stated previously. I have a good feeling about November though. Must see Mr. Magoo for a paint job. I will try and get to the track Sunday morning to see what set ups people have. Looking forward to this. Should be fun.

Where is everyone getting there TRUCKS from?

[DHB]

Hi,

I believe most people went to MB Models.
