Re: NASTE 2024 Point Series Championship - Results & Standings
I have a comment/question.
1. All these rules to make the car faster yet no independent front wheels?
What is the reasoning here?
2. Which of the ScaleAuto cars have metal chassis if any?
Also, I added some bolding and white space to make the post a bit easier to digest.

Do these rules need to be posted under the "NASTE Rules" to replace the current GT3 rules?
This is just an open discussion at this point

Re: NASTE 2024 Point Series Championship - Results & Standings
I object to the no independent front wheels. That is a basic tuning practice going back to the 60s.
Painting the front tires with glue or nail polish makes it sound like we're racing matchbox cars.
OEM anglewinder is odd as many of the listed cars come with inline & siderwinder pods.
As for motors most of the 23K seem to be low on torque allowing the Black Stripe and 21.5K motors to compete.
Monte our aim in discussion wasn't really about speed but rather better handleing, increasing the "fun" factor. A Scalextric with a pod can run well with an NSR we've found.

all the sideways gt3 cars are factory-installed anglewinder pods

yeah, but we're not making a Sideways Class are we? We are including NSR, Scaleauto, 3D chassis for Scalextric, ect. Otherwise we may as well leave the GT3 class just the way it is and start racing Sideways cars against themselves..

I know I’m a little late to the party but I too am curious about no independent front wheels. My better cars all have them. It costs almost nothing to convert cars with alloy wheels, so it can’t be cost.
Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Well nothing written in stone . Rules can be updated or we can just ignore that if someone shows up with a car set up that way.

Good thing you go through the trouble to make rules!

I think most of those rules were copied from another clubs site. Who knows how old they were or who made them.
Myself I hate the sound of hard coated tires going around the track. It reminds me of that old Matchbox set from '66 that allowed you to race your Matchbox cars and the new Hotwheels that were just coming out.
