Hello All,

I'm fan of the Craftsmans Truck series. I want to build a couple of trucks from my friends and myself. I'm finding it hard to find the truck bodies though. Also what would be a good chasis to start out with?

Thanks

For bodies http://www.mcallisterracing.com/racing/page2.htmlFor a chassis any pan car chassis is good. I use Hyperdrive.

well there is an organazation called orl outlaw racing league and it travles threw out pa delaware and nj and this is the first year they are doing a craftsmans truck series. for there web site go to www.outlawracingleague.com as far as boddies go hpi has some and so does protoform..

A few years ago 6 cell 1/10 Nastruck was the big class at the Granby QC club. At the time HotBodies and Protoform produced Ford and Chevy bodies. Now I do think only McAllister is producing some.

As for pan chassis you may think of L4 and Hyperdrive; simpler to setup especially for beginners. One other interesting rule was to allow only one stock motor.

We run this class here in NC,McCallister makes the finest truck bodies,and the L4 and Hyperdrive seem to be the choice of chassis.

Trucks are big down here in SC as well,it's a fun class for sure.

http://www.mcallisterracing.com/racing/ Has a nice selection of NASTRUCK bodies built for Oval racing , Ford, Dodge, Chevy and Toyotas availible.
The Trucks are a blast to drive!

Oh Ok, I,ve always called it Easley, I,ll have to look you up while I,m up there this summer.

in the PA., DE. & N.J. area we race NASCAR Craftsman style trucks on OVALS of various sizes and surface (carpet, concrete,& asphalt) we travel to 9 different tracks with a total of 10 races. Our group is called "The Outlaw Racing Leauge" add .com and you'll find the web site. Our 1st. race was 02-26-06 and 26 trucks showed up ready to roll. This is the 1st. year for the trucks and it has started off great. Besides the trucks we had 45 1/10th. scale cars and 10 1/12th. scale cars. :wave:

what motors are you all running in the Truck bodies? Do they handle alot different from a stock car body?

the orl is any roar stock motor with full f-brush ( you cant do anything to it)

now i dont have the hard #s im my head but pro stock car was something like 53 4:03 no brush rule in this class

the truck tq was 52 4:04 this is with full face f brush and the back of the truck must be 2 inch.

to see the rules go to www.outlawracingleague.com

to see the results between both classes go to j-lap and horsham rc date of 2/26.06

hope this helps

Thanks that was great
