That's cool. I think 20 minutes is doable for LiPo users, but still a bit out of reach for NiMh which I would consider the mainstream battery type for the next few years until the LiPo prices come down and people in general become more comfortable w/ their use. In a less restricted organization I believe these technologies (and new ones) will flourish.

My philosophy is that less restrictions are better, just keep it safe and ensure vehicles competing against one another are dimensionally correct.




Ha! That's good for the electric business.


What are some of your thoughts on the monster truck class having trucks that still resemble MT's by their ride height and bodies? I know a lot of you like the truggy look (stadium truck body, low ride height, and a 1/8th wing but I believe that "look" is what in my mind is the 1/8 truck class (like the 1/10 truck class, only bigger)). IMHO MT's should have 3.5" clearance (1/10) and 4.0" clearance (1/8) and run a transmission (no center diffs, multi speed is ok), a truck/suv body (sorry, no stadium bodies), and no wing! The ride height btw is my guess at what makes sense for the scale...its still subject to review.

This would be extremely easy to tech at the club level and would keep MT's as monster trucks w/ all those fun MT behaviors on a track.

Anyhoo, don't wanna give too much away as I'm still formulating things above and beyond ride height. ;-)

Lemme know what you think!

I think MT's are MT's and truggies are modern stadium trucks. Remember when people converted 1/10 buggies to trucks, thats what is happening right now and they need their own class so they can progressand evolve.
The current crop of MT's should have seperate classes for sm block and b block, because you have a problem with $600 on road motors running with a TRX 2.5 and thats not fair.


To answer the question you proposed to MacII. I would want to race against the nitro's anytime, anywhere and anyplace
