are there any basic rules with what you use to set up a competative comp truck?? ie wheel base, weight etc.
i am guessing that if these 2 are good then wouldn't matter a bit what the vehicle was obviously preferable to have coils.
For instance the 40 series, there really isn't any reason it couldn't be a successfull comp truck so long as the suspension and power/drive train is good.

Does it have rego? This will affect what comps you can do and where you can drive it? And if not you have to think of how you will cart it around.

what comps? how much to spend / budget ? how competitive?

FFS a GQ with 33" AT's is a comp truck and so is a $600,000 trophy truck, maybe you can tell us where you want to fit in the big scheme?

QLD rego rules dont allow for mods that mods comp trucks do for rego.
If it is rego'd and you are towing it to comps. Remove the plates while on the trailer. That way no wanker will report you or pull you over and give you hassel over defects on a rego'd car.

Cheers for the advice, i didn't think that that would be a problem.

As for what i want to do I don't know, i am fishing for options at the moment.
I will be towing either by trailer or on truck not sure yet.
Am thinking starting maybe on the cheaper side, maybe $10,000 to start with as i am new to comping (or will be when i start) so am thinking wise to start small and if i stick at it then maybe re-think it and go for something better or build up what i have.

start by looking at what comps are in your area and what sort of cars the guys are driving. comps with a stock class may be a good start
