Nice looking car there Chris.

Thanks, but all I did was buy it though.  I actually splurged on the one where the rear clip was also painted.

There are enough types of Revo's there could be multiple classes.

Agreed, but while I have been away, there has been a bit of restructuring of the classes and Classics 2 (where these would naturally land) has apparently gone away and the PGE sportscar class is now Policar only (the other natural fit for these cars).  The vintage Revo's don't fit Classics 1 due to their multi-piece chassis and I am not seeing another class where they'd be legal.

I think the Alfa may qualify for Trans Am, but it's not truly within the intent of the rules as I believe they were written (one-piece plastic chassis cars like Scaley's or Ninco's).

I was looking at picking one up but it would be silly to do so with no class in which to race it.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

The GT-1 is legal under current rules. As far as I know the saloon cars are not along with the Ferrari 333.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

And asking for a friend... Is there a class in which the Revoslot Alfa's, Escorts, and BMW's are legal?
Only class would be open. I don't they would be able to hang with what guys are running in that class. if enough guys in the club want to race them, we would have to make the rules and drop a class to bring those in. I believe are trying to put a cap on how many classes we run for the year. so it would have to be for the next race season before we could get them in. but nothing set in stone either. .

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

We tried running the Revoslot GT2/GT1 cars in the regular GT series wherever they fit. Though they only have a 21K motor they had enough torque to be quick enough on Al's track. It was the lack of traction that held them back so when we were discussing new classes it was decided to run them in their own class. It appears that many other clubs and proxies have made the same decision. The loss of traction appears to be related to the slight texture of the Magnetic primer. On my track for out at Bill's track the Revoslot tires seem to like the smooth surface allowing these cars to hang with the Slot Its and NSRs.
  When I hosted the Revoslot proxy the cars qualified close enough that it was literally anybody's race to win.
As for the smaller cars I have the Alfa and BMW. the first thing I did was replace the 21K motor with an H&R 18K making them legal for classics ll. However I never intended to race them, they are just perfect for my track this way. As for Trans Am racing they would probably also need their own U2 Revoslot class. You also wouldn't be able to fit the spec Black Stripe "trans am" motor as they are all bell driven and the Revo chassis are all can driven.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread

It  was good night of racing even  with heated discussions  on full size electric  cars and other things. I think I had something for Al in gfx but the back up car was not as quick as my primary  car. Really weird that photo edged part getting bent and contacting the gear.. all well we are even starting the second half so it anybody championship  to win. Going be interesting  with a new class  part of the points races. See you all in two weeks.

Your photo edge part and my car mysteriously slowing down for several laps and then fixing itself, weird night indeed.
