Randy,
I posted this in the Tips and Tricks section about a month ago:

Mark,
In my testing, the difference between the 2 chassis were negligible. In other words, there was no difference between the 2 chassis which is why both chassis are allowed. If there was a difference in performance, I would have selected 1 chassis over the other based on availability. This is the job of the series manager for a new series and I have done that.
What are you trying to accomplish here? What are you trying to learn?
In response to Q1, if it didn’t come on the chassis out of the box, it’s not allowed. The carbon fiber and full metal chassis have a set of parts that are standard. Those are what’s allowed.
In response to Q2, Mark, I tested all tires that were available to us included the Paul Gage tires. They didn’t perform as well as the MJK thus they were removed from contention.
All tires appear to be in Austrailia so allow for 2 weeks shipping. Tires can also be sourced from this eBay seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ScaleAuto-1-24-Sports-GT-Race-tyres-MJK-4118/392035360419?hash=item5b4720dea3:g:5fIAAOSwL2NakLto
I have already purchased 5 pair from him and all but 2 pair have arrived as of the writing of this post. I’ve also got tires coming from Armchair and got an email yesterday that MJK is making the tires this week and Armchair will be shipping to me next week. I had ordered 5 pair and 4 pair are already spoken and paid for.
As the series manager, I’ve tried to make the series as even as possible and getting the resources necessary for racers prior to the race.
Is the Scaleauto discussion something we can postpone until the May meeting as that’s my series and I’ll not be there to participate?
I had a great time doing my first race today, even with a wonky car. Tight body screws, tyres need a little more truing. All thd club members are great, welcoming and very very helpful. Its a learning experience and I am looking forward to the next race and growing.
I appreciate it very much!
Thank you y’allShe’s stock plus lead weight up front behind the guide.
She tends to flip or fly off.
I have a stock guide and I do have a famous slot spacer that can fit the post of the guide. I’m not gonna install it.
Tried to fit slot rear tires off the slot it matra, fit well will bring it just case.
Can race the first half tomorrowAttachments:
I’m fine with letting the long can anglewinders run. Honestly, the benefit of the anglewinder is to get the long can in a sidewinder configuration. It also allows for the magnet affect of the motor to help traction but is nullified on the rally track as it’s copper tape and not magnabraid. They will have oodles of torque out of the hole but might be a serious handful to control without lowering the track power. There is a point where lowering it doesn’t give the motor enough power to fully run and motor variances now come more into play.
I’ve already got a car that came with a sidewinder configuration so I’m just making my thoughts known for the newer racers.
Randy,
That’s going to be Marty’s call as the series manager, but as the rules are written now, you can NOT use an anglewinder pod with long can motor.
Restoring it. It’s my brothers car when we’re kids
We 5 cars 2 strombecker 1/32 and the 2 tamiya and Otaku 1/24
The other famous needs a lot of work same goes with the otaku last time I saw them in the closet 15 years ago. I’ll try to work on these as I go.
