Beau did an excellent job on this chassis. He soldered 10 of these chassis together and presented them at the Rapid 500 race. I am in the process of getting one together to try out at the Oct. 17th. race. A BIG round of THANKS to Beau. He only charged $45.00 for this chassis, that is a one time deal. If anyone else wants one, the price will go much higher depending if he solders it or you do.

Here is the latest on the Beau Can-Am chassis: Beau is soldering the chassis together and will hand them out at the Rapid 500 on Oct. 3rd.

The chassis building session for the new Can-Am chassis by Beau is not going to be much of a chassis building as it will be an "add your own running gear session". Beau is soldering up all the chassis. I checked out the chassis he has already soldered together and they are really nice and has some very impressive features on them. You will need tires, motor, guide flag, wires, gears, axles. Date for the "assembly" coming as soon as he completes all of the chassis.

Beau has the Can-Am chassis in hand. When the calendar clears up ( Hot August Nights etc. ) then we will schedule a chassis building session.

Beau's 10 new laser cut Can-Am chassis are sold out. If he gets a request for more he will have more made.

A new chassis has been added to the rules: Scaleauto SC8002c. Beau found this chassis ( Porfessor Motor ) and it is very much like the Scholer.

Racing schedule for 2016 is on the Calender page.
Rules for GT-3 are pretty much complete. Remember the GT-3 can run the Pro Slot S16D. All of the rules are in the Classes/Rules page.
I have scheduled the Indy cars for the last two races of the season, I am hoping they will be a success!

All the GT-3 bodies from Pattos Place are listed on the Rules page under GT-3. If you want to know what the car looks like, Google it.

Changes for the 2016 season that was voted on at the last race of the season, May 9 2015:
1. Voted to do away with GT-1 as the hard bodies are getting expensive. Replace GT-1 with GT-3. Basically you can replace the GT-1 body for the GT-3 body on the same chassis. Rules for GT-3 will be added to the rules page soon.
2. GT-3 is a Lexan (PETG) clear body. Pattos place has about 14 bodies available, $9.00. Decals are $14.00. Beau has a few bodies and decals available for sale if any one wants to get a head start. Check out the bodies on Pattos place under "New bodies" GT-3.
Beau and I are going to get together and measure the tracking of the bodies, the widest one will be the tracking rules for all of the bodies.
3. Motors: It was voted on to replace the Parma sealed S16D with the Pro Slot sealed S16D, about $15.00. The Pro Slot will be phased in with the new GT-3 class for the 2016 season. All the rest of the classes will have the same motor as before.
4. After a couple ties, finally two classes came out ahead to be the points classes for 2016. They are: Can-Am and Early Modified. Thanks to all who took the time to vote. We will run all the classes next season. I am thinking about putting on the schedule three classes each race night. If so I will write up a schedule so everyone will know what we are running on race night

Looking forward to the possibility of running the GT3 style bodies. There are about fourteen different marks available at Patto's Place. Decals are plentiful and also available. Do a search on the internet for photos of 2014 FIA GT3 race cars to get an idea of the types and styles. I will bring some bodies to the next race for everyone to check out. See you then......Bea

Coming up on the last race of the season ( May 9 ) will be a discussion and a vote on whether to switch from hard bodies to Lexan for GT-1. Also it has been suggested that if we do make the switch, to combine the 962's and GT-1's into one class, maybe call it GT-3. If so, it would take effect right after the race to give racers the summer to get prepared.
Pattos Place has a lot of GT-3 cars.
Any feedback?

During the off season there will be a Can-Am chassis building session. So far we have 6 people who have shown interest. No date has been set yet.
Beau is getting a motor/rear axle and a front axle assembly together for the build to add to your parts or you can build it with your parts only.
Can-Am could become just an open chassis for the future ( 2016 season and beyond ) as not many are running a Scholer any more.

I would like to thank Bill Bostic and Monte Saager for helping to get the new Home page up and running, I really like the new look. I will add and subtract pictures and news as races and events take place.
by howie » Thu Apr 30, 2015 9:45 pm
Thanks to Bill Bostic for finding a chassis to compete along with the Scholer. This is the Sloting Plus SP800001. This chassis looks like a direct copy of the Sholer only made out if stainless steel and looks like an improved motor mount and good coolant holes already in the chassis. $49.95 from Porfessor Motor. I have added this chassis to the NWTSR rules.
SP800001-2T

Race of March 1st. 2014. Only four 962's showed up to race. Gary and Dima raced Can-Am cars. Dima is doing an excellent job of learning the track. Marty overwhelmed us with his super handling and fast Jack Daniels 962, the rest of us have our work cut out to get up to speed with him! Marty and Beau challenged for the track record. Marty won that also with a run of 4.5023 sec. Beau ran a very respectable 4.5167 sec. The two man team enduro was mentioned as a possibility for next season.

Turn out the lights, it is time to race!! Finally, we had enough 962's to have a night race. I heard there are a couple new 962's on the drawing board for the next night race in March.
Beau came through with a very decisive race with his new 962 and Gearloose who had no lights, took an impressive second, evidently he knows the track!!
Thanks to Hugh and Kirk for staying and corner marshaling for this race.
Even though I took last place in both races tonight, I had a good time, there is more to it than just racing.
Some lights did not come on 'till track power was on.
Beau's winning 962.

This class will be added to the classes next ( 2014 ) season. This class was designed for the enduro, but not enough teams entered to race. So to those who built cars, you will have a chance to race them next season. This is the class that will have headlights and will be raced at night. It will be a blast!!

Good racing with the GT-1 class. This may be one of the classes for points for the 2015 season. A vote will decide later in the year.

Start of the 2014 season. Race of Oct. 5, 2013. This was a very close race and a lot of fun. Thanks to those who showed up on such a nice day to make it a great start to the new season.

Race of March 30th. 2013. These cars are fast and nice looking!
