The K-truck looked good at cactus. Rhode won the SRS truck class with his. Survived the whole 15 minute main.

That would be a surprising move. But after seeing him race in person a couple times, I'm convinced he could wheel anything to a podium spot!

I am curious to see how with the push for longer mains at least, any changes we will see in how the vehicles are designed and the material they use.

Heck, I would like to see a truggy style wing on these in some way!

Brian Kinwald recently made the A at the Cactus with his prototype X Factory X - 60 truck.

Progress on the X Factory truck is going well - prototyping is near complete and we're starting to draw up stuff as a precursor to starting on molds. If everything continues well we're looking at a release date sometime in the late fall.

The RC Pro Series-Nitro is letting 2wd 1/10th scale electric stadium trucks run with the Gas Truck class this year. The mains will be 30 minutes long so run time is not a problem with a 7.5 brushless motor and an 8000 mah li-po.

More info here: http://nitrooffroad.rcprosites.com/s...view/year/2008

1/10 2WD OFF-ROAD TRUCK SPECS

The appropriate number to be determined at each event which will be equal to the number of stops for the largest majority of nitro powered truck. This addition is to help increase interest in the truck class.
