Anyone still truck racing?

[racie34]

I'm wondering if there's anyone still racing these...or the scx or scalextric? I just picked up the scalextric gulf truck for a local race here. I don't see many threads on any of them here?

We run the Fly trucks as. Club series,using the same rules as the Proxy Seroes.
We have 12 guys racing them.

That's cool....I'm looking forward to racing this truck.

Was there ever a thread on the scalextric trucks or scx? I cannot find any.

Scalextric trucks are new, so no one has raced then in the FLY truck proxy.
SCX/matchbox trucks were not same speed (slower) as FLY trucks.
The FLY truck proxy was just for the 4 different FLY trucks. MAN, Mercedes, Sisu, and Buggyra

I'll have a report soon. We are racing these July 7th I think on a long oval. I'm gonna go with the stock motor which seems rather peppy and stock gears...change the guide and try the tires sanded before I swap em out.
A lot of this trucks height can be traced to its ground clearance...it's fairly high off the ground.

An old thread brought back! I have 6 or 7 Fly trucks and love to run them. I'm having a hard time trying to find springs for the guides - or an upgrade to the original setup. Is there anyone out there that still runs trucks? And where do you get parts for them!?
