Looks pretty neat...I've got a T4 to convert if a class ever gets going at Pegasus.

Andy, can you give more info on those front wheels/tires? I have a 10T I am doing a "resto-mod" on and was struggling what to do for the narrow fronts. Are these similar/exactly the same in dimension to the original truck narrows?

What's the price and availability? KInd of cool idea. Ias thinking of going back to buggy anyway. We need a class at Pegasus!

Back in 90s Pro-line brought the Associated team narrow front wheels and tires down to the big winter race in Florida and dominated the competition that weekend. I believe after the weekend the manufactures met along with the officials to not move forward with that size wheel and tire as it took away the scale appearance of the truck class. I tested a narrow front wheel and tire a few years ago and had great results with it. It was probably the best my truck ever was outdoor but I could not run them as they where not legal.

I do like this concept as I prefer buggies over truck any day of the week.

It would be a good class to run if you are on a track thats too rough for 1/10th scale buggy.

tcmerf · 02-16-2008, 12:26 PM

Are the rears just truck wheels? I am running the GT2 set up and dont really want to go back to the old axles. I do think i may get one though.

artie's liver · 02-16-2008, 12:38 PM

I guess I don't get it

does this run against 1/10 buggies?

tcmerf · 02-16-2008, 12:47 PM

I think the point is it would be its own class on 1/8 scale type tracks. Not sure it will happen but i just think it looks cool!

D Hunt 3 · 02-16-2008, 01:01 PM

Why spend the amount this thing will cost to run on outdoor tracks, when a normal truck would run just as good? I dont get it.

BillyCaldwell · 02-16-2008, 01:09 PM

I have to agree. People have been asking for rb5 wheels, cr wheels, things there are established markets and classes for, and instead something new is made to start yet another class. I wish jc all the luck with it, they have some awesome products, but I guess I dont understand the need to start another class.
