anybody ever build their truck to race?


Recommended Posts

what mods did you do to your truck? where did you race. what did you run?????!!!!????

wheels?? cast or disc? Do they even make demountable rims for super singles?

CAB MODs ??  owww heavy rollcage🥴rops?

axle mods? wheel-end mods?? i looking for a front drive steer currently, who makes the best?

brake mods, suspension, electrical, motor mods ? fluids, oils?

any venues still open to race?

aero mods??

transmission mods? i like three countershafts and controlling my gears but rock climbing with a clutch idk about that. automated a good in-between?

id like to hear and see whats been done, whats possible i havent thought of. I am building a ultra 4 truck to run at king of hammers. On my bucket list at least, there is a unlimited weight class. i looking at my shortest wheelbase truck for agility but going fast maybe too short. Definitely super single in back maybe front. 4x4 for sure(mack t-case excited about this find), spare tire carrier. motor will be either swap to e6 or 671 from the e5 motor in now. drop it couple inches with dry oil sump, help with front drive shaft clearance as well. i dont think air brakes will stay, doesnt seem like a good fit. Maybe fit oil pump to compressor drive position or with it behind it.

No, not Albert.  It's a roundy round truck.

There is a member here that road races a Mack.  Been awhile since I have seen a post from him.  CRS makes it impossible for me to remember his name anymore.  Mike?

 

I've drag raced my B model a few times.  I even pulled it once for exhibition.
