Trophy Truck is an off-road racing vehicle. Trophy Trucks is for high speed in off-road terrain competitions. This is an open production class and all components will be considered open by SCORE International unless restricted.
Although every truck that meets safety standards can follow the Trophy Truck class, they, for the most part, have long travel suspensions and high-powered engines. They are meant for desert racing only, and not legal avenues. This vehicle is known as Trophy Truck when it races in SCORE International sanction races, and Trick Trucks while racing at Best in the Desert with sanctioned races.
Since the introduction of the class in 1994, the development of Truck Trophy has been going fast. Previously, the Class-8 rule dictated that migrants should use the production framework. The introduction of Trophy Truck class is purchased with it's new freedom to competitors with minimal rules in its construction. The intense development in full tube chassis and suspension travel leads to previously unseen performance and speed.
The vehicle number has been established permanently for each driver. Numbers 1-9 are reserved for previous years as the rank of driver for positions 1-9. Figures 10-99 will be available for the task. Drivers who have used the number in the previous year's season will be given the first option for the same number this season.

Histori
After class introductions in 1994, without a proven formula, the initial designs of the Trophy Cup varied widely, usually without the same two Truck Troubles. During the development process for ten years, finally engineering companies such as Geiser Brothers, Jimco, Racer Engineering & amp; ID designs became known after their truck won the race as soon as possible. Arguably, this manufacturer became a success because it was able to fund the necessary time and cost of R & D needed to create a competitive Truck Trous platform.

Truck design
Trophies Trucks are generally two wheel drive, although four wheel drive classes are in operation. Most chassis chassis features 4150-chamolium steel tubes covered by an engineered aerodynamic composite body. Gasoline engines are naturally aspirated, and typically Ford or Chevrolet V8 powertrains, generating over 850-900 BHP (630-670 kW) and 900lb/foot (1200 N/m) of torque. Turbo-charged diesel motors are allowed, with a minimum size of 5.0 liters to a maximum size of 6.6 liters, with two turbo chargers. The turbo engine must be equipped with an air barrier.
Travel suspension is approximately two feet (26 ", 66 cm) wheel journey ahead and three legs (32", 81 cm) trips behind, although this can vary depending on the chassis design. Most Trophy Trucks use an independent A-arm suspension in front. At the rear, most trucks feature three or four-link setup with a solid rear axle, while some use different types of independent suspensions. Fox Racing Shox, Bilstein, and King Shocks are popular amongst competitors, who were previously self-produced Trophy Truck teams.
Duty suspension and damping is handled by one or two shock absorbers per wheel; usually consisting of one coil-over and one by-pass shock. The trucks are equipped with tubes of steel tube rolls.
High 39 "(98 cm) tire on light weight 17" (43 cm). Truck Trophies usually carry two spare tires if there is a puncture. The total weight of the wet is about 3500lbs minimum (two tons), with the mass needed to absorb the rough terrain in the desert race.
Transmission is a choice of three-speed automatic or six-speed sequential gearboxes. The TH400 three speed gearbox precedes the Baja 1000 but remains popular among its competitors due to its long gear ratio and the ability to handle the torque spikes caused by off-road racing. The six-speed sequential gear appeals to competitors because it's easy to change gear ratios quickly.
Lighting development has enabled competitors to switch from HID to viable LED technology. Rigid Industries is the first LED company to win Baja 1000 in 2012 with BJ Baldwin. LED light bar lighter & amp; smaller, creating less drag and better aerodynamics. The harder housing and the lack of filaments make them much stronger.
Cost
The typical cost of a trophy truck is $ 500,000 USD. This does not include the entry fee of the race, the cost of equipment, the cost of parts, and fuel. It can spend up to $ 30,000 to run each race and winners rarely receive more than $ 10,000. For 2016, there are four SCORE International races, all in Mexico for the first time.
In 2015, remote control car manufacturer Axial Racing partnered with SCORE International to produce Yeti SCORE Truck Trophy for fans. This model has a sturdy rear axle with independent front suspension from King Shocks, which can be adjusted to change the height of the vehicle. Axial later partnered with the official sponsor of the International Tire SCORE BF Goodrich to produce an accurate replica of Steel T/A KR2 that wrapped around 105 Racing Wheel Methods.
