I was looking at my Spec Truck from last year to get some lessons learned information on how I want to build my 2021 Spec Truck.
- I think the axle holes size should be to fit scout axles. The MV axles are a smaller diameter than aftermarket axles we use in BASX or other classes. My axle’s holes were just a tad too large last year and ended up gluing them in place.
- I need to look at how to cover the truck bed. Last season I used tape but it stretched out and was useless. I do not know what the rules say about covering the truck bed or what materials can or cannot be used but I think much speed can be gained by a good bed covering.
- I did not paint, seal or cover my truck body last year. A slicker body surface should result in additional speed.
Some Spec Truck thoughts:
- Joel got his Spec Truck to run 2.9474 last May. Will we see a truck go 2.9460 in 2021?
- Will there be 10 trucks to be able to have a Finals race each month?
- Will there be some questionable interpretations of the rules?
- Will we see a 3D Printed Spec Truck?
Umm... I hope there will be a finals race each month, but yes to the other three.
