      Getting the rear track (tire wall to wall) out to 68mm yesterday was quite a trial finding the right combo of spacers.  I am hoping it was worth it.  I did also change the front tire/wheel combo to the optional setup.  This car could have been an excellent class strictly out of the box, as shipped, and save your time and energy instead of all of the mods we are making.  rant completed.

        Randy – I agree with you.  It would have been good to just keep this as stock as possible.  There is always next time.

          For some of us, the puttering is a big part of the fun.

            WOW!  That is a whole other level.  I like what you are working on.  I think you and Russell are the masters at that type of work.  I am always impressed with the quality of work you both create.  Impressive.

              REMINDER: the 68MM sidewall-to-sidewall *is* the out-of-the-box spec; as a Limit, Not mandatory minimum.
              RULES: have been on the site since January and do not require changes; just Allowed options; and this summer we allowed the Slot.IT crown gears to avoid problems reported by at least one racer. Discussions have been open since January.
              Anyone can ran the car stock-as note in #5810 PERFORMANCE, they in general run fairly well out-of-the-box.

                #17147 – this note is not germane to the F1 discussion, but I echo Marty. Marc – it would be very cool if you brought some of your projects to ASCC and gave us a “demo” of how to create a body from wood, or how you create a Buck from wood to use for resin or 3DP bodies.

                  Randy, perhaps the Policar F1 would be a good future candidate for “box-stock” because the reality is that other than the tires, there is Not much at all you can actually change with the Policar modern F1s.

                  Performance would not match the NSR F1, but it would require significant driver skill to counter-act the engineering and handling challenges of the stock configuration.

                  Hence – a Policar F1  “drivers series” would be a fun challenge 🙂

                  Perhaps you can propose a future “box-stock” series, and be the Series Manager 🙂

                At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
