Just thought I would start a new thread for all things Super Stock Truck. One observation I made was:

It was very important to oil the bushing on both sides of the motor, and clean them out with out the motor running....

All I can say now is they are killer fun. I did learn not to spray out the 370 motor with it running using CRC electronic cleaner. That Baby lite up. I will take it apart and see what the damage was.

They handle sooo well and the speed is just about right for everyone.

I know it sure smelled ugly!!! :drunk:

yes they are a blast it will be great when its the cot stock motor lol.. are we gonna keep the truck class next year when the stock cars are running the 370 motor... :thumbsup:

At this point I'm thinking the stock class will run what We are in super stock with the 10/45 gear limit ?? bodies right now. Super stock will be what We are running now with open gearing ?? Body right now. Let's wait till 3/4 of the way into summer season to see how it goes.

ok just curious thanks bud..

Bud you have pm

Got it the body will go Tuesday. Have fun on your trip watch out for the crazy girls gone wild !!!!

watch out for the crazy girls gone wild !!!!

and if you see them, be sure to take a few pictures!
:devil: :thumbsup: ;)

a few ????? TAKE LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS and bring em to the race :cool: :cool:

Yo, BUD, how come ya dont try a off-road chassis?? that would be cool.

Too much to tool, lots of $$ unless You know someone in China.

Hey guys i was thinking about picking up a novak XRS speedo for the truck. My novak cyclone makes things a little too cramped. any thoughts?? I thought the price was reasonable.

the XRS is better than the spy! You may want to check out the Micro GT

I use a GTX

unless You know someone in China. :jest: damn, that hurts.

XRS is pretty good. You can use it in bigger things in future were as the others You can't.

The Novak GTS is great. I have 4 or 5 of them (2 in BRP's). It's basically the same speedo as the GTX without all the programming options and I think they are around $75.

I loved my LRP Quantum Pro, but they are hard to come by....

MICRO.. You get the mulch out of that truck???

you just wait...the wind tunnel testing supports my lower rear theory....

I knew it the Daytona squat :) But Tangs is higher check it out that may be his secret.

We are not racing at Daytona !

Thats right it's Freddies !!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like 2 new racers coming to the truck class at the next points race :)

Maybe 3 if ZOOM get's his done :lol:

my contract has not been finalized and i don't turn a wheel without compensation.

Where do I find the BRP super stock truck class rules and what will a complete roller with motor & body cost? Does a regular sized servo fit or do I need a mini or micro?:confused:

Jeff S.

look back in this thread for the rules http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=178894

Jeff, Are you going to come play with us at Freddies? The PA Posse needs some more members. The trucks are a blast!!! 1/12th scale servos work great. PM Bud and he should be able to set you up with a racer kit with every thing you need for a truck at a very reasonable price. I have 5 BRP cars now and am having the most fun I've ever had racing with them. A great group of guys and good eats!!! :thumbsup: :wave:

Did that truck go to PA? Bud you have a PM.

Bud - what is your secret for keeping your speed in the corners?

You have to have the front end set up soft like I have said in the past. I'm running no preload on the front silver springs. You will have to lenghten the king pins to get that. If your fronts are coneing it is too stiff.

I drive into the turn under power starting my turn well back from the actual turn as I get to the center of the turn I give it a quick blip of the throttle and get back on it. The way around each turn depends on the traffic. Most everyone drives in straight then trys to turn sharp and set there chassis up to do this but I think that way You scrub some speed off. You have to be smooth. If You may have noticed many times I will go wide in then turn early and exit low passing the cars as they go wide by driving too deep and pushing out on exit.
It is hard to explain after doing it for so long.
Maybe it will be able to see it in the video.

lengthen kingpins ?? is this accomplished by sanding corner of chassis or by unscrewing nut on kingpin or shortening steering blocks

BUD,PLEASE GIVE UP THE SECRET :thumbsup: :tongue: :tongue: :thumbsup:

all of the above bill and davon i already showed you that and you didn't listen :tongue:

Take king pin out. file front plate on bottom I would take like .020 off then reset king pin so You have the spring with the top shoulder washer just touching the e clip. Tighten down There may not be much for the bottom nut just make sure it has all the threads in the nut. I also glue both nuts when all is set. You may have to chamfer the bottom hole of the sterring block since it may snag the king pin were the threads are.
Try all this before shortening steering block. If You get that too short it may bind.

all of the above bill and davon i already showed you that and you didn't listen :tongue:
WHAT DID YOU SAY???? I WASN'T LISTENING :tongue: :tongue:

I hope to have longer king pins by the next race.
