Monster Truck Madness – Watch the light boys, we’re going racing!
Hey people, it’s time to announce the 2023 Trigger King RC Monster Truck Racing Series schedule! It ought to be a enjoyable summer season of racing in the grime over in Waterloo, IL at JB Graphics Raceway.
There are 3 lessons this 12 months – Outlaw Retro Clod Buster, Sport Modified, and Pro Modified.
Sport Mod and Pro Mod are trendy model monster vans and the automobiles are shut in building with the major distinction that Sport Mod is proscribed to 17t brushed motors and has a battery restrict, whereas Pro-Mod you may just about do what you need.
There is not any regulation as to the kind of stable axle monster truck it needs to be in both of those lessons, so you have got motor on axle versus shafty, or Clod vs SMT10 vs LMT vs house brews.
This is 12 months 9 of Trigger King and over the years the vans appear to be pretty balanced in how they’ve competed. These days there’s a lot energy obtainable for the vans, that each one of them can simply overpower the observe so it’s extra driver desire.
The LMT has shaken up the judged freestyle although, because it’s develop into the defacto platform for that. The vans are simply rugged, backside line. I don’t see that altering this 12 months!
The greatest change for this 12 months is in the Retro class- Outlaw Retro is now Outlaw Retro Clod and is proscribed to Tamiya Clod Busters that appear to be old style monster vans from the late 80’s/early 90’s. Over the years, I’d say 95 p.c of entries have been Clod primarily based so we bit the bullet and made it Clod solely so it’s simple to manipulate.
We are attempting to determine a scale leaf spring/shaft drive retro class and see who all is and what sort of guidelines to make use of to race them, however proper now we’re simply speaking about it. I do assume it might be a number of enjoyable to race tremendous scale retros finally although!
I’ll be racing an Outlaw Retro Clod, two Sport Mods and two Pro Mods. A Clod, SMT10, LMT, and two customs. One of these customs is but to be constructed so I have to get shifting on it!
I’ll be sharing particulars on the construct as I get to it.
I’d like to see a few of you come out and race! Full guidelines can be found on TriggerKingRC.com and when you’ve got any questions please e-mail me at doug @ bigsquidrc.com
