Santa was very good to my slot addiction this year; I have a LOT to spend on hobby related stuff.

I have a few questions on possible cars I'd like to have/do have but don't have "class legal" accoutrements.

1. I love the look of the Thunderslot McLaren Elva. As far as I can tell, it's only allowed to run in the "open" class. Is that true?
2. I love the Revo Slot Ueno Clinic McLaren. Does that run in the LMP class?
3. If I replace the motors in my Ninco classics with the H&R "Jackrabbit" (14K) motors, they're legal then?
4. Gears and tires can be replaced on Classic 1 cars, right? (as long as frame is solid and pods if any are glued)

Trying to ensure that I can run the cars I have without having to buy a bunch of new stuff. The $$ I got for Xmas will go to improving/making class legal the cars I already have.

Thanks for any info on the above.

Monte has sent out an e-mail about this, but in case you haven't heard...

I will be hosting a race on Sunday, October 3, at my place. Carroll Shelby chili on hand, snacks, beverages, etc. Racing starts at 2 pm, doors open at 1:30.

Racing will be open, no points, "run what you brung".
