What do they mean by Mini Truck class? Is it CRT.5's or is it 1/18th scale trucks?

Bubs · 04-21-2008, 08:14 AM

Im this close to bringing my electric truck out for some fun! Im just not so interested in getting it so dirty! Ive got the novak Brushelss system in it! and it looks pretty much like it's sealed but dirt always seems to find its way in any motor!

How many ppl have ran Electric out at Steves...whats your opionion?

Just start with recomended for the wind. Its a really great place to start and normally for 1/8th scale tracks i run one or two teeth over recomended.

Any body know the scoop on the mini truck class?

MG247 · 04-21-2008, 05:44 PM

Hey! Sorry guys for the confusion! The race will be held July 5-6. As for the Mini truck class...there will actually be two classes. One will be nitro and electric 1/18th scale, and the other will be for the CRT.5's only. It takes three to make a class. If anyone has any further questions, please feel free to email me at info@247designworks.net! Hope to see everyone there!

The Novak GTB 4300 or 5800 will work sweet. I ran the 4300 last season with no regrets and was beating the gas trucks. They had me in the straight but I got'em back in the turns. I was running 20 minute mains with 6000 mah Max Amp packs.
If you run the 5800 its perfect speeds to and will smoke the gas trucks in the straight. Watch your gearing and temps I never had a thermal and was running the fan at all times. The Novak motors will repel dirt great no worries there at all.

I ran a Losi and added 100 grams all over the chassis to get a good balance but the reason was so I could get more stability on the coarse.
The added weight will help the truck absorb the bumps.
The last couple of events have been perfect for electric. I ran my B-4 out there and did real well. But it was a bit much for the little feller. Chris Rupert was smoking the track with his academy. I believe right now he holds the record speed for electrics.
See you around. Troll heartland and get updates and give some heads up roll call to let people know so we can bring an electric out with ya.
