Topic: trans am up dated rules
well after last Thursday night racing there was some concern that the brass am class would be to open of a class with the builds so it was decided to just go with the 3d chassis class instead. with that being said the rules need up dating.
Body:
Bodies must be injection molded or resin cast in 1/32 scale.
Lightweight interiors allowed, but must be 3 dimensional and painted to show drivers head, shoulders, arms, steering wheel and dash.
Tires must be fully under the fenders. Tires may NOT project beyond body work when viewed from above. Bodies may be realistically flared if proven the car ran that way in T/A from 1966-1976. Group 5-type flaring is NOT permitted
Chassis:
Chassis 3D printed.
Podded chassis are allowed.
motor configuration: IL,
Underside of car chassis and body must clear track road surface (not rails), on level track, by 1.0mm minimum.
Guide must be entirely under body, and NOT visible when viewed from above.
Traction magnets are NOT permitted.
Bearing-type of axle bushings are NOT permitted.
Body Mounting: All chassis MUST be mounted like an RTR car - meaning screws through the chassis to body mounting points and no pins THROUGH the body, Velcro, etc. However, a chassis with side mounts such as the HRS can be used - as long as the pins do NOT go through the body
Gears:
ANY aftermarket gears and ratios of your choice may be used.
Motor:
Any FC-130/S-can or FK-180 long can motor up to 21.5k in RPM is permitted / there is no torque spec.. This will allow for the new Scalextric motors as well as the Piranha, Slot.it and NSR. NOTE: We are aware that motors that may list at a particular RPM can come in higher or lower. Therefore, if the motor is MANUFACTURER RATED at or below 21.5k RPM - it qualifies
Motors may not be opened; only stock motors as the come from the manufacturer are allowed.
Tires:
ONLY Rubber or Urethane Tires permitted
Nail polish or clear coating of front tires is permitted.
Tires are NOT permitted to be wider than 11.0 mm as measured inner-to-outer sidewall

Wheels must have period inserts or look reasonably period for the car - no blank aluminum wheels please.
