Yes, we will be racing the Slot.it Porsche 962s in with traction magnets and the stock tires.

We're good on controllers, I have 4 that work fine if just a little on the mushy side. But better mushy than too quick on Bob's track!

I did not try out my Trans Am car, although I did see Bob run his Trans Am Mustang around. His Mustang stuck REALLY well with the urethane tires! Not sure where he has his traction magnet. I'm sticking with the rear most position for my Camaro. We'll see how it works out!

I'm making a list.

I'd also like to add that I am not trying to discourage folks from buying Paul gage tires. He has treated our club very well in supplying us tires. I will also say that Paul Gage tires are of a higher quality than ours.

I will be making molds for some of the Fly cars soon, maybe next week. I could use a list of potential cars we'd like to have tires for. I think our tires are softer. We are still in the developement stage. I will have more data soon.

We're workin' on tires!

Come by whenever you want on Thursday Chris. I am going to call Glenn and see if I can go over and pick him up sometime during the day.

I'm good with that.

How about we start out the class with NO trimming of any kind? Not for adding weight, chassis clearance or anything. Then we can see how the cars run, and as Goose noted we can make changes to the class as we go?

That would be an easy fix for Fly's pinion gear problems.

If a crown or spur gear were bad, wouldn't it be easier to swap out the whole rear axle assembly if we are limited to using the original plastic wheels?

This is starting to look a lot like our Trans Am Class.............

That's a good point Rico. I've had Fly cars with split pinion gears right out of the box (wheels wouldn't even turn).

From Goose:

Chris: Do you feel it would be necessary to add (modification?) to the rules the use of super glue on the rear stock bushing/axle to true them up like we allow on scaly t/a & F-1 cars? Also i feel it might be helpful to allow cars run smoother by allowing the "filing" of the chassis edges to just clear any body contact areas. Comments(?).
