I appreciate your input and agree with your points to a degree. I too never ran wing cars in the 70’s but did run AFX G-Plus cars in the 80’s and they did run foam in their stock configuration. Having said that, I am not married to foam but the big cars work so much better using them, or at least they did at one time. We need to figure out what we need to do to get the tires to get some grip. I will be at the track next Saturday working the problem. Any and all help would be welcome.
RevoSlot – the tires for RevoSlot were hard to come by and were very inconsistent. The idea was to move to a foam tire that would be far more consistent, easy to source and equally if not more drive-able. The other thing is the Scaleauto foam tire is the same width for everyone where the RevoSlot Porsche uses an 8mm rear tire compared to the Marcos 9mm and the Viper/Toyota 10mm. Now all the cars will run the same 10mm width foam tires.
Realistic Speeds – I don’t think the BRM Group C cars speed will be out of scale, in fact, I believe it will be closer to scale than the other series we run.
The Wear Lines on the Track – The wear lines on the track can be removed after we run the series or we can stick with foam tires moving forward. A question the club will have to answer.
