So I have had some questions about adding a spec class. I do not want to add any more classes to the MOTM at this time. However in May and December we have a Demolition derby, we can run a spec class those months to see if some are really willing to race it. My thoughts on the class would be something like,

-The Speed Truck body, No aero except for bed cover
-Maximum Velocity wheels, Wheels can be machined to no less than 1.5gr, 7.5mm tread, all lettering spokes must remain on out side of wheels.
-Maximum Velocity axles, Standard zinc axles, no modifications except for polish, slot in head for tunning, and bend for steer.

All other specs would be like the BASX class.

Let know what you guys think.

Price for the kit would be in the 25.95-30.95 depending on if we have to drill it.
it would include, Truck body, stock Maximum Velocity wheels(4), and axles(4).

Ooooh Interesting...

So you're talking a one design class using the truck body on the maximum velocity site right? Any modifications allowed to the body, I.E. removing weight from the front by hollowing out the block. Or would it have to be left as it is just sanded and painted? And I'm assuming we could use all the wheels and axles we want to find a set we like the best right?

I'd be interested... Be fun to build something simpler than a street rod but has more character than a BASX car.

Mr. B Racing See ya! To succeed you will soon learn as I did the importance of a solid foundation in PWD basics. Posts: 523	Any desire for a Spec Class?

Even if it was not part of MOTM I would race it monthly.

Can we make mods to the truck body, or is painting the body the only thing that's allowed?

No body modifications just light sand and paint.

Okay, sounds like fun! Are the lathed sets okay to run? And, on the website, is there a certain heading for the lathed sets?

The current Maximum Velocity Speed Wheels are 1.0 gram HERE

I am sure Joel would offer a 1.5 gram version for this spec tuner class.

Might wanna offer a shipping box cut for truck also

Maybe offer it as a kit also? Body, lathed wheels, axles, maybe weight, & shipping box? The Newb Package!

It'd be an interesting class to race, it would let you compare your prep and tuning skills to everyone else using the same (well, similar!) aero package?
