Doc, how big was your layout again? How far did you break it down?

Hello all, I have been shopping for a couple cars for some of the new classes that are on the calendar.

I am eyeballing the C5R from revoslot for the revoslot class, it is not currently on the approved list per the rules. I am guessing however it would be permissible since it raced along side the Porsche and Vipers that are currently on the list.

I just want to check here before ordering!

Thanks!
Zack

Hey guys, we have a little carrera digital track in our meeting room down here at the new shop. I am trying to revamp the layout and add some details to make it a little more fun.

Thought I would see if any of you guys have some random sets/track sections or scenery laying around I could buy up before just ordering new stuff online.

Thanks,
Zack

I was bummed I didn't get my schedule cleared up early enough to make this race happen. I was however pleased to see Shaun's result using the chassis I built! He certainly did better with it than I have in the past....

Are you planning to have these cut and sold as a kit? Looks like a easy to build performer.

Had a great time racing last night.

Thanks to Bill and John for coming out and helping us fill the field and have sufficient marshals. It made a big difference!

Bill's Lancia was FAST!

I put this together after the last race to hopefully help some of the newer guys, but there may be a couple good ideas for everyone.

I hope to do something similar for other chassis as we race them throughout the season, I will do my best to put one out BEFORE we run them.

Thanks for having us Howie!

I had a couple more thoughts on these rules. Just seeking input on whether or not we need to add clarification.

Track width. Seems to me that adding spacers should be legal on these cars. The DTM cars especially look terrible and would likely improve on performance with some spacers. This is a very low cost and easy to do upgrade. Also, anglewinder type cars will have this built in.

The second is tape, I know taping the screws is needed to but adding tape to the pod as a tuning tool seems like something that would be worthwhile and cheap.

just a couple things to think about.

I was sad to miss this one, but you gotta have money to buy slot cars!

Sound good I will make the adjustments. the revo slot tire spec may be hard to in force, but I think the fast tire drop off will be enough to police that rule

Doc, upon reflecting on this more. I do think it would be smart to limit the revoslot class to a certain type of car. We could open this up or add others in down the road, but they clearly make cars that are meant to compete with one another.

I would recommend going with the "GT" category to start, since there is a massive range of liveries and cars available.

Porsche GT2
Viper GTS
Toyota Supra
Marcos
F40
McLaren F1
Mercedes clk.

(this is just a suggestion, i would be fine limiting it even further to GT2 cars only, supra, marcos, viper, porsche)

Staying away from the open top and LMP cars will keep the class more consistent IMO.

I also think Al should have the final review and say on this classing, since he is the primary support for this section of the club at this time.

I think these classes look like a good start Doc.

A couple things that I would submit to be added.

1-make the changing of the guide legal in all classes. Not just because it can help increase performance but also because they can fail, and replacing them with an aftermarket guide just makes sense.

2-For the Revoslot spec class. I think the Factory installed 30shore tires should be the spec. This is partly because they work very well as is, and because this is a higher priced car it will limit the investment further.

As far as the motor limit in LMP, I think the 22k limit is a good one for this class. The reason the other classes include the 23k rule I believe is because many of the cars in that class came with a 23k slot.it motor. This basically just means that there isn't much need to change the motor since it is already near the legal limit. I think this is a good thing.

I also agree with the removal of Classis 2, unless you want to exclude the GT40 etc instead. PGE has easily take the place of this class, and well the cars just work better with the larger tires installed etc.

I should point out. I don't think we need to get rid of "all" of the classes.

I think we should simply remove the ones we haven't ran in the last couple of years, and replace them with some lower barrier to entry but still race-grade classes.

I still think the primary issue is finding the people to come out, but having a few more easy to buy and race classes would help retain them IMO.
