Semi-trucks?

Post by Colibri »

I know that the Boy Scouts aren’t producing the semi truck kits anymore. Is there anyone out there building semis? Also are there plans available. I know I would need to race them on a track that has a starting area long enough for the tractor and trailer.

This site has some information on the semi-truck races http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge ... ubkar.html.

This other site shows some photos, http://members.rogers.com/cub15bur/kubkar/trucks.htm. It looks like they are using their regular track and maybe built an extension on the back to fit the trucks. However, in one picture I see a couple of adults holding what appears to be a hockey stick to hold back the trucks.
