RATIONALE FOR THE ABOVE SPECIFICATIONS:

  • The width was easy. The model needs to run on a standard Kub Kar track (with minor modifications to the starting length). This number was taken from the specifications of the Truck model kit.
  • The height was determined by the dimension of the electronic finish line.
  • The length was derived from the truck model kit from the Scout Shop.
  • The weight was derived from a consensus of various groups who have run Scoutrucks.
  • The remaining specifications were taken (nearly word-for-word) from the Kub Kar Racing Specifications.
