BTW, the motors are a b___h to get out of these new chassis! They fit VERY tight in the motor pods and require some serious prying!!!

Re: SCX NASCAR Class for the Summer Season (25 replies, posted in BSCC)
The way I see it is if the majority of the cars have the older motor, and we are racing these cars non-magnetic, why go to the extra expense of the hotter motor? My preference would be the old motor. Faster is not necessarily better!
So I tore my two new cars down to see what motor is in them. Here's the lowdown:
Texaco /Havoline Dodge Charger #42 (Juan Pablo Montoya) REF 63420 - RX42B motor.
AT&T Impala SS #31 COT (Jeff Burton) REF 63400 - RX42 motor.
So how do I know if the COT was supposed to come with the RX42B or not? The bottom of both boxes are dated 2008.
Also just to note; the biggest difference between the COT chassis and the standard NASCAR chassis is the COT has independently rotating front wheels, the older standard chassis has a solid front axle.
On another note, my old, older style SCX NASCAR ran .10 second laps faster than my new #42 NASCAR on the BullRing........................and that was with the old RX42 motor............
So whatever the decision is, let's decide, set the rules (and leave them the hell alone!) so we can start buildin' and testin' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ---------------------Bill

Re: Heidelberg Raceway Visit (2 replies, posted in NASTE)
Me too Rico! I know you and AJ would have a great time! I'm going to work on the carpool info and details. Depending on who can go, we could rendezvous at the Denny's on I-5 at Wilsonville (where we would meet up for the chassis classes at Bob's). I'll have the Toaster and three available seats. I could also pick up riders along the way.

Topic: Heidelberg Raceway Visit (2 replies, posted in NASTE)
Hey Ya'll, I made a trip down to Kimm Marshall's Heidelberg Raceway in Eugene today. What a GREAT place! Two beautiful tracks to play on, surrounded by racing memorabilia of all kinds!
Kimm's 1/24 track is deceivingly fast! His ROUTED, magna-braid 1/32 track is super smooth and challenging!
If you have not raced on a MDF Routed, Magna-Braid track DESIGNED for 1/32 scale slot cars, YOU ARE MISSING THE BOAT! I warn you, once you race on Kimm's track you will want one!
The NASTE race at Heidelberg Raceway has been rescheduled for Saturday April 18th. If you can make this race I guarantee it will be worth the trip! You will not be disappointed!
We will be holding one race on each track. You will have two chances to take the hardware home, one in 1/32 and one in 1/24. Both races will be IROC style races.
The 1/24 race will be 4.5" wheelbase flexi type chassis, lexan bodied NASCARs. These things are REALLY fast on Kimm's track!
The 1/32 race will be mildly modified Carrera Aston Martin Vanquish's. These cars will surprise you! They do not handle like STOCK Carrera cars! And on Kimm's track they are a riot!
So get ready, the race is on! There will be local Eugene racers for us to meet and race against. They may have a track advantage, but we may have the car advantage?
Will we fare better than we did at Pelican Park? Maybe some NASTE Thursday practice before the 18th will help?
Mark your calendars, make some plans! This one is going to be great! -------------------------Bill

custom work for them. If you'd like to see examples of my work, you can go to eBay and under my name, 6pkk, you can click on the little 'me' button and it will take you to my homepage.
Thank you very much for your time
