Poll: Who would want a race series for Trucks/SC10's
As per subject post..
who would be up for some sort of series for the SC10 trucks, basically keeping them stock as possible, with a motor limit of say 8.5 Brushless? Lipo would be allowed, but tyres would be the std ones. Post your votes (and comments) now, and I will try hard to get something arranged.. M.

Yeah, would be interesting but suggest a 10.5 "stock-spec" motor limit and stock suspension/tyres to keep it as equal as possible. What about cheapo hand-out motors included in race fees? Just a bit of blue-sky thinking.

8.5-10.5 motors would be fine,stock suspension and transmission would make it better and cheaper for us, also a voltage limit could be imposed 6cells or 2 cell lipo

Although I think they look fugly, EVERYONE who owns an SC10 seems to love them with all their heart!
I think an SC10/truck (T4 etc) series would be a great idea myself

I think a short course SC10 / Slash series is a top idea. It would be great way to get newcomers into the hobby too, with the realistic looks and handling. 10.5 motors fit the bill well imo. I also think it’s really important to keep strict control of tyres, I’d say allow the stock tyres from either of the manufacturers to be used on either truck, no mini pins etc. In my perfect world, with the two current trucks (AE & TRX), I'd allow the slash guys 8.5 motors and SC10 10.5 to spice it up, make truck choice more difficult and balance the playing field. But that kind of stuff's difficult to regulate so one motor for all's probably best. It wouldn't affect me, I'd be last anyway |

Deffo, 8.5 'limit', and stock kit and std tyres.
I'd love to. Or even do two classes, 8.5 and 10.5? After all they run 2 classes in the real world. |

it sounds good what we do at dirt arena is just have a huge selection of brushless motor running from 8.5 to about 5.5 i think and there is not a huge differents in the speed or control of the cars

Here's 2 X60's up against 2 x SC10's. Purely clowing around, but all have a 13.5 limit. The SC10's are standard stock set up. The X60's have been toyed with but I couldn't tell you how. They may appear a little slow on the straight, but it's hard to tell just how steep that hill is on the vid.
Great fun and would love to get more people out with the trucks. Very little to do, very little to break, and they can be slotted in amongst other classes to give breathing space. We ran the reverse track to the 4WD that day, not the greatest of ideas coming down a steep hill with bends, grippy tyres and jelly shocks.... but good fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xli58XreQNw If you're 50/50 about buying a truck. Do it. Satisfaction of tagging the back, watching them spin and finishing with a T-bone is worth every penny. |

Big up your bad self Craig
I think the more the merrier. Harris' SC10 looked wicked as it drifted around the tight and twisty bits. I tell ya, slow motors are the future! The ZX5 only has a standard 20turn brushed in and its more fun than my 6.5L

i agree - slow motors are the future - if everyone could agree on which slow one to run we'd have some mega close racing, just like the old school 27t buggy racing in the rrc champs from the early 90's. then we'd be looking at entire race meetings on one fully charged lipo pack! |

I think Haggis and Paul were all runnings 10.5's? Ive also read of others on here running 10.5's too? Seems to work, from a spectator point of view

Thanks guys...for all the feedback.
One thing I would like to know, is who are the 6 peeps who voted "No"!!!! I will see if we can perhaps do a weekend meeting with them at Hereford for starters, as I think we probably have one of the biggest groups of SC10's! I think the concensus is for slow motors. However, I think that we need to strike a balance on motor limit. I think most people are using 10.5's, but the 8.5 limit would allow a few more in I think (this would apply to the SC10/Slash class, as well as kit tyres only!). What about the X60/T4/XXXT-CR class, and tyres? Thanks, Mark
