AMSCO questions and concerns

[Datto]

I have started this thread for people going to Ohio this May to hash out what they are finding as we go forward with our Scaleauto cars.

Question: The “Track clearance” mentioned in the rules, Is that to the clearance of the plastic road surface, or the metal rails? From the rules:

Class
Min. Motor Height Track Clearance
GT3
0.8mm
GT4
1.0mm

Carrera Track rails look to be .33mm proud of the plastic surface, at least on the piece I grabbed. The Scaleauto rails according to marty’s writeup are .44mm proud of the plastic track. Will Carrera be close enough for tuning?

Concern: I bought the SC-4046F25 for fronts on my NSX. The inserts are too big for them though. And it’s a bit unclear in the rules anyway. Stock wheels are required to run “hubcaps” Does this mean non stock wheels are not? I really hate the way the rules are laid out, its so easy to get the classes mixed up.

Anyway that’s my gripe for today

I wondered the same thing about the nonstick wheels.

This is what happened under mild cornering with the stock wheels, and the SC-4756AS20 tires under mild cornering on Spottswood. Started to dismount on outside.

Did not have this trouble with tires shipped with car.
