Are you going to include HRS chassis as I think they would have an inherent advantage.   I picked up another 956 white kit last night on Ebay for $20.00 to set up for Randy's enduro or whatever.  My thought would be RTR cars only, include any that come with orange motor and black pod.  No Nissans, or McLarens- only Porsche's, Lancia's, Sauber/Mercedes, Jaguars.  Maybe even exclude the open cockpit cars, just to keep it simple and not end up with a race of one make like what happened during the summer when you had four red Ferrari's and it was hard to tell which was yours.
I do like the idea of doing some test races on different tracks and am always up for a race as long as the schedule permits.

Question- Are the gears from inlines the same as the ones from a sidewinder?  I don't think they are and that would create problems for those not able to change gears.  Might even be hard to id the difference. The orange endbells are ok with me.

Autumn Kills??????

If anyone is interested FantasyWorld has one last Fly Racing Kit for $63.74 but it is a Ford Capri with a less than attractive paint livery.

Brake parts cleaner will clean AFX, G-plus chassis and I haven't noticed any ill effects other than sometimes there is a whitish residue that can be removed with ArmourAll or good substitute.  I use Q-tips for both chemicals for application.  A can of compressed air (like for computers) is great for blowing off excess.

I have used the brake fluid method for models and it does a good job of removing paint. It will harm some plastics, but most seem to ok.  I also liked the soap and water clean up.  I tried soaking the Joe Dirt car but had limited success and ended up just primering the crap out of it which probably added to the over all effect.  Good ol' Joe finished second place in the November SCX Worldwide repaint contest. One guy said it was hard to make paint look bad on purpose but easy to do a bad paint job.

It's alive!!!!!  I figured out the pick-up set up, just a matter of proper assembly and some soldering on the leads.  Sounds kind of strong!!!! LOL

Mine are plastic, but I did not use them for the previously stated reasons.  Mine has Spirit "Sport" aluminum wheels and I have no idea what tires. Fly called the plastic strontium or something like that, but appear to just be plastic to me.
