Having actually now read the entire thread (instead of just the last few posts) I realize that the idea was to have a class that was as much "box stock" as possible. I can vouch for the Flys being a fun class box stock, as that was the way we ran them in my old SoCal club. I would say, however, that replacing the front stubs with a solid axle would really help, putting good (as opposed to Fly stock) tires on the rear, and allowing weight makes a big difference in handling. I could live with just those mods. I have a bunch of Fly cars that would qualify, since that was what we ran in SoCal, including 512s, 908s, a 906, a T70.
I just made a (really bad) conversion of my Scaley P330 to Slot-It motor pod, axle and gears, and GT40 chassis. It could use some better tires on the rear, but otherwise runs nicely. I'm assuming it's legal for the other "classic" class.
