I asked this question a month or so ago.

Can you take the typical 1/16" or so from the body at the FDW , say the length of the hood or so? With just a small notch at the hub, there is going to be clearance issues with the wheel rubbing the body.

Bed Cover is okay, you don't have to show off how you weight the truck. No weight removal on the body of the truck. They only weigh 23-25 gram before any light finish sanding. You can index the side of the body where the wheel is mounted in order to get it to track correctly down the track.

So what exactly does NO MODIFICATIONS mean? LOL!

Seriously though... So no reshaping of the body at all correct? And I'm assuming no removing of wood from the bottom to lighten the body either right? And lastly are bed covers ok or does the bed have to remain open?

Downfall, see above.... Looks like the answer is yes to narrowing the body in the front so as to get it centered.

Thanks Scott. I'm not sure that means you can notch more than just the hub area though. I remember Joel posting a photo of his truck being built, and I believe he only indexed a small area right at the hub.

Wish I would have known there was a difference in the speed axles. I had to buy one of the axles tonight. The ones that I got were the Nickle coated. Oh well at least they will be here prior to the date when I need them. 24 I will have to ship it all in.

I sent a couple people the Nickel axles. Your good to run them. I’m on the zinc, I don’t believe there is much of any speed difference in the Zinc or Nickel. The nickel do start out nicer.

The nickel are fine. Just don't over-sand them. You remove the nickel which is good for speed. The best way to sand them is to use buffing compound. I start with the green, then blue and finally rouge. I've compared both methods in getting the axles ready and the buffing is faster. Leaves most of the nickel.

Anyone else notice that the trucks look different now. My special truck was ordered from the link in this discription but when I go to the MV website, the kit looks different now. Will this affect the race at all?

The truck spec body is the one sold on DE. derbyevolution.com/all-products/ols/products/spec-class-speed-truck-with-maximum-velocity-wheels-and-axles

The truck on the MV site is just a Scout body. www.maximum-velocity.com/product/truck-kit-special/
