Hello!

I'm just curious to know how many people here would be interested in doing some truck trial or similar event here in Brisbane, Australia.

For those not in Australia, any advice on holding a truck trials would be greatly appreciated! Rules Regulations, ect.

:D

I'm trying to organize a race truck trial too .. the rules are the same as the real truck trial, a path divided into sections, the track is bordered by colored flags or goals; wins who crosses the path without errors in the shortest amount of time. If errors will be committed to a sanction that will affect the total time

Thanks for that! Just wondering the rules regarding construction? Anyone know what they are? Or where I can find them. :D

There's no official rules about it, you need to choose them. Rules related to the types of vehicles used, and their dimensions, generally vehicles used are in scale 1:16 Edited by The Ghost Racer

it would be nice having different categories

but probably the best thing to do is choosing a track, shooting a video about it, present it to all contenders and then just wait for everyone to build the model that they think is good for that track :sweet:

im so upset i can't partecipate :hmpf_bad:

In my town ther's a shop dedicat to modelism, RC, and lego, i will ask to the owner to expose a leaflet advertising on the race in his shop.

Motorsport is difficult to organize because it serves a very large lounge in which to run the car. For track trial just go to a park or in a forest and make the track.

you Could still design a model based on a track ect, and someone here could build and race it on your behalf!

Thanks for all the help guys!

I love this, regarding rules for trial trucks.

2.1 Modifier

The modifier is calculated:

(weight of the truck [g])/(sum of all motors’ power for 9V)

The trucks are weighted right before the competition

  • 2838/0,9W
  • 71427/0,58W
  • 43362/0,51W
  • 5292(RC)/2,38W
  • 47 154/0,74W
  • NXT/2,03W
  • PF Medium/1,04W
  • PF XL/2,21W

This looks like so much fun! I hope there are enough people in Brisbane area to do it!

We (our german legomforum) had a meeting with a truck trail race too. We told everyone just to bring some obstacles and build a truck, then we met and build the course. After that we drove trough it and measured the time evryone needed. Touching the sides of it gave 1/100 second plus.

We first build a parcour for the 9398 which everyone drove and then modified it for our models. The winner was who has the shortes time in the end. Second and third place were only 2/100 seconds away from each other!!!

Some races only allow models of real trucks, and they must be exactly too a certain scale. it might be more fun if you allow original cabin and suspension designs that dont strictly follow a real life truck.

Awesome! Well I'm not super Brisbane local, but will meet members there. :)

I would say in true Aussie style, "bush bashing" would be the way to go for the first time, so we all can just have fun with whatever we got! Then discuss some rules and regulations. :grin:

I ripped apart a 2nd hand 9398 I bought from eBay for the PF, suspension and portal parts and made my very own crawler.
