Kubota, and Caterpillar will be the spec chassis manufacturers. Only Kubota, and Cat hop-ups will be allowed. It's open speedo, but an e-flite 800 mah 3.7v lipo will be the spec cell, so a high current speedo will only make you dump during the 14 min. quals/22 min. main. Throttle control will be key. The only banned speed controls will be ALL LRP products, since the fact that they can't catch up to the BD, MMP, and V2.03 really seems to be what's causing all these stupid speedo rules anyway

You are DQed if you lose your load.
I read its going to be a 16000g weight minimum. But you can add weight as necessary to get the front/back balance correct. Do we have to use the fork lift operator figure that comes with the kit?
I hear Tamiya is working on a chassis for this now. It will only cost $900 but you can save $5 by buying it in HK.

I think I am going to do well here. (Meaning: I am going to Destroy Vasas!) I am figuring myself for 3rd in stock touring. I haven't decided my other class(es) yet. VTA? 17.5 12th? Definetly forktruck racing!
See you punks soon! Just one week to go!

let's see, what other battles can i site??
rubber: sydor - v - reilly in rubber. thus far, sydor = 2xtq and no wins. can he keep the streak alive? and is jenkins going to trump both again? what about ulice at his home track? and the always focused, yet underperforming, mike peterson...
(vasas, you might want to get in on that, too).
