b) Light weight (racing version) trucks are not allowed. (These have vac formed interiors)
Truck Tune-up Rules:
The following rules are to ensure a competitive field of scale model race trucks. Proxy Race organizer decisions are final in the interpretation and application of these rules.
1. Body
a) No modifications to the body are allowed unless otherwise specified.
b) Bodies may be no wider than 72 mm, excluding mirrors, at the widest part. (There may be some (Buggys) that are a little wider and as long as they are not "made" by the racer to be wider and only factory mold issue it will be allowed)
c) If white body kit is used, exterior of body must be painted with at least one coat of paint (no clear coat only on white plastic).
c-1) Any paint, decals and markings may be used.
c-2) Both “fantasy liveries” and accurate reproductions of real trucks are encouraged.
d) Racing numbers are required one on each side of cab. NOTE returning trucks will get first pick of the numbers they used before.
e) Bodies must be removable to allow inspection and photography prior to the first race, and to allow maintenance and repair during the race series.
f) Stock interior including windshield must be used and not removed or lightened by grinding, cutting out of interior.
f-1) Interior may have added detail by painting, and or adding cab lighting.
g) Truck mirrors are not required and can be removed to prevent breaking or can be modified to reduce breakage in the case of a deslot.
h) Required body details such as trailer hitch, head lights, tail lights, engine, exhaust etc must be as stock prior to inspection (Now what falls off or breaks after starting may be left off if track host is unable to repair).
Note: Trucks from last year’s entries which may have been returned minus a few minor parts ie: air flasks/windows screens may be reused and those parts missing waived.
i) Truck Cab and body posts and other parts may be glued and reinforced with appropriate material. Body can float
Note: For the Buggyra it is highly encouraged that the side panels be reinforced to ensure they remain on during racing.
j) Some models are equipped with suspension (Buggyra). The suspension may remain in the vehicle, but only in its original condition, spring elements may also be removed completely. Working lights are not required but encouraged.
NOTE:
I have seen cracked chassis on Man trucks in the front. I raced mine last year and will post a pic of what I’m talking about if needed. The area in front of the guide may be cut out as I have 2 that had this problem. Trucks will be allowed to race with this area cut away if they had a cracked chassis on the Man trucks only. Let me know if any has seen this in other breeds of Fly trucks.
2. Chassis
a) Stock chassis, specific to the truck model is required.
b) Styrene, carbon Fiber or other suitable material may be used to stiffen chassis.

d) Motor maybe glued in place with appropriate adhesive or taped in place.
e) Motors drawing excessive current, which results in slowing other cars on the track, or tripping of overload protectors in track circuit, will be regarded as faulty and disqualified from racing on that track.
