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?

[weeman]

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

[c0sie]

What do you class as a truck?

[blue_pinky]

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

[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

[peetbee]

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

stadium trucks, short course trucks, them sort of trucks

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

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

Round 1 of the truck championship was quite interesting as some drivers struggled to get used to the idea of racing and not bashing!
Others had to contend with me discovering that I had intermittent brakes, sorry DanH.

Anyway the results were:
Class1:
1) Rob West - Associated SC10 - 101 (TQ & Win)
2) Dan Harding - Associated SC10 - 90
3) Pete Belsten - Associated T3 - 80
4) Dan Osborne - Associated SC10 - 70
5) Si Osborne - Associated SC10 - 60
6) Luke Morgan - Associated SC10 - 50

Class 2:
1) Roy Stewart - Hong Nor SCRT10 - 101 (lonely TQ & Win!)

It was great fun and hopefully everyone is looking forward to round 2!
