I came in somewhere just behind those four in the LeMans class. I came in first in the Classic Sports Car Div ll, and first in Over 50. Chris won BRM I believe.

But Bill, you would actually have to be there. Like in person. I could even bring you a car or two, unless I get stuck on a late cement pour.

It turns out that that the NC2 is the only Ninco 180 can motor that is close to 14K, none of the currently Ninco made motors will work, however the adaptors to fit an FC 130 into an FK180 mount are readily available at almost every site I looked at.

Take whatever the motor rating is at 14.8 volts and subtract 19% and you'll get what the motor runs at twelve volts. I also have several in the garage with the 12V rating written on them, I'll check and get back to here.

Chime in Doc? Really?
First off this is great, I haven't seen a thread this active on this site since...forever.
As for Motors in any class for the tracks we have we don't need anything more that 21.5K, $7.99 Piranha, keep it cheap, I mean affordable.
Classic sports cars class 1&2, love them don't change a thing. Accept...
I wouldn't start a "Ninco" class I would take classic one and lower the motor RPM. I wouldn't set the NC1 or the BWA as spec as they are both out of production and basically a dead end. I would set a 14K limit which would include the H&R Jackrabbit motor which at $10.00 is the best bang for the buck in that area. There is a new company out there marketing a 16K motor but I don't have any idea how consistent they run or what RPM they actually turn. I've checked all of my H&R are motors with my tach and while slower than the Black stripe they all run very close to their rating.
By doing this it could include classic SCX cars some Fly Classics and some low budget scratch builds based on cheap, make that affordable PCS chassis.
GT class, there is nothing wrong here, If Rico wants to lap my souped up 962 with his soccer mom 4 door grocery getter BMW that's fine, it just gives me something to do till 1am when I get home from a good ass whoopin. Like working on my 4 door BMW grocery getter that is just slower than his.
Policar F1, they are fast and handle very well, but if the Polycar drivers are having a bad night I have a Scaley with a stock motor that can get around them, if that doesn't work I also have a Polycar of my own, so watch your mirrors.
Now we get to NSR and Thunderslot. My only experience with NSR is watching Rico take some very nice laps around Bills track with his. After driving Chris's Thunderslot I bought one, well actually two. These cars are something else. I do think that most of their magic lies in their rear wheels. I bought some Slot It "air ride" wheels for my Slot It GT40 and while I haven't had it at Al's, it has run some very fast laps at my house. I also have my Monogram bodied T70 on my Slot It chassis that is almost as fast as my Thunderslot. I have extra Thunderslot wheels and tires I'm going to install which might put them on the same footing. So whether or not these get a class of their own I'm more interested in building something to compete against them.
Carrera DTM? If we make a class, what am I going to enter in the next proxy? I'm not buying another one. Who am I kidding, sure I would. But if you want a DTM class let's not limit it to Carrera, let's open it up to any DTM cars.
That leaves us with Rally. I have an interior with two drivers already painted just waiting for somebody to spec out a car so I can give them a ride.
That's my 2 cents worth, well maybe 3 cents due to inflation or the Bourbon.

Re: NASTE Odd Thursday Night Racing Rules & Current Thread (2,128 replies, posted in NASTE)
Doc, I put that chassis under my CLK, and with a Flat 6 motor it was about as fast as the 956s and 962s, but with the body being heavier I couldn't get thru the curves as quick as the other guys, but that might be my driving style. Without Goose or Monte to lean on I had to go slower.
I took it apart so many times trying to get that extra little something out of it that I eventually broke the chassis. By then the body post were stripped and broken and in a moment of trying to clean the work bench it got tossed.
Best $8 eBay purchase I ever made even though I spent countless $$$ trying to make it go faster than it was ever meant to be.

Fernando was going to run his Ninco until Monte offered his Thunderslot. I believe that Fernando has been taken by the dark side now.
Monte, I've been working on building a car that could compete against the Thunderslot. After driving Chris's I realized how far yet I have to go. I haven't given up though. When I ordered a new car I also ordered extra wheels and tires for my scratchbuilds.

These both have after market chassis. This years 21.5K motor might be a bit much for the Alfa, they both run very smooth.

Yeah Doc, I drove Chris's later in the evening and even I had it in the mid sixes. I ordered one about five minutes later.
I ordered a yellow one so it wouldn't get confused with Montes.

Re: Trans Am Class Thoughts (24 replies, posted in NASTE)
I'm still waiting for my chassis to get here, but I did just get my Pioneer Mustang back from the Trans Am Proxy. Last year the motor limit was 18K and I used the NSR 17K Baby King in an inline configuration and was solidly in the bottom third. This year the motor limit is 21.5K So I'll switch to a Piranha motor set up as a sidewinder.
I will set up the Scalextrics as sidewinders because I felt that during testing last year the Mustang felt better as a sidewinder but I thought I would try to take advantage of the "Magnetic" effect and extra torque of the NSR motor over the Black Stripe motor which didn't pan out.
