Totally pointless,
we all ready have a truck class,
not point diluting the field even more

Was talking with a couple of guys on friday night and there seems to be allot of interest in running a separate class for the full body trucks. The slash's are a rather big stk spec class in the US from what ive read.

is the slash and sc10 as similar as say a t4 and xxx-t? i like the look of the class, the racing i've looked at on youtube looks good as bumping and rubbing doesn't result in the same crashes as normal trucks.

The SC10 is basically a lengthened T4, but with different suspension geometry/roll centre. But with the body they're probably a bit more resilient to crashes since the arms arent exposed.

With the increasing number of manufacturers making them though, and new class was inevitable since the slash/sc10 dont fit current truck rules.
