electricBricks' Truck Trial Competition Results, March '11

[DLuders]

ElectricBricks recently sponsored a Truck Trial in Spain. There were seven different truck designs and videos of them in action.

"On Sunday the 7th of March was held the first competition organized by electricBricks Truck Trial. Participated in seven vehicles, with an amazing level, both in aesthetics as when passing the tests.

These were the pilots who dared to try":

The circuit consisted of eight tests with individual score, the score was:

•10 points: Perfect run (no touches)

•7 points: One touch

•5 points: 2 touches

•3 points: three or more touches

•1 point: Null (did not finish)

"Key points:

•Use or not use of a differential is important, because although no differential vehicles are more difficult to maneuver, do not lose traction at any time, which is not the case with those who do lead, which remained without traction to have a wheel in the air.

•In this type of competition must prevail power, which should gear down the output of the engines, but this leads to slow vehicles are also much more powerful.

•The choice of wheels is also critical, large wheels and grippy help us overcome the toughest obstacles.

•Integral traction proved to be the best solution for some evidence on which the wheels were in the air or stuck with some frequency."

"Thanks to all of them and the many who came to accompany or simply enjoy the competition!"

Here are two of the seven available videos on the electricBricks webpage:
