Truck Championship

[peetbee]

We're in the early stages of organising a championship for trucks, so I'm looking for feedback as to what everyone would like.

It will be a 6 round series, with the best 4 to count. The dates will be published in advance but will in all likelihood be one Friday per month for 6 months.

The rules will be:
1) Trucks have to be 1/10th electric
2) see 1)

Any thoughts?

i think we should only be aloud to run standard tyres (gives everyone a fair chance)
:thumbsup:

[c0sie]

What do you class as a truck?

[blue_pinky]

Not sure, but how about...must have 'truck' in it's name? :p :woot: :thumbsup:

[evilbert]

if andy did rules, they'd probably be the best rules in the world lol...

you've got a water tight plan there fella lol :p

[peetbee]

Truck means
not a buggy, hope that's clearer now:woot::woot:

stadium trucks, short course trucks, them sort of trucks:D

I noticed when watching February's edition of rc racing they had truck racing from the pda and one of the sc10's had a b4 body on it.

Would that be allowed? as I don't think it's right. Trucks should have truck bodies

[mrspeedy]

Sounds like a good idea to me, I'm in :thumbsup:

Defo stock tyres tho, non of Paul's dirty cheatin' tyres ....
