Re: NASTE 2018 Point Series Championship

Hey Mitch put a a$$ whopping on us all.That gt40 was in a class of it own, it easy of been 68 or 69 laps for the night with thing. I think you need to take it apart Mitch and look for that extra 10th that is waiting to be unleashed. Greg's cars were three lanes wide all night so trying to get around him was really tough.Jeff was a no show but Al made sure to keep the weekly smoke show going. Rico gt3 car was so fast that he once again melted down a spur gear.. Fernando little  mg car that was a rocket ship down the straight. some more tuning and he might have a jewel in the making. thanks again Al for hoisting. no racing till December there Mitch. more than enough time to find some more speed out of that ta and division one car.

Re: NASTE 2018 Point Series Championship

Thanks again Al and Donna for letting us all invade your house for a few hours. And thanks Al for loaning me a car, what a runner. I liked it so much I went home and ordered the "Gulf" version.

Re: NASTE 2018 Point Series Championship

Hey guys! What is Classic Sports Car Division 2?

Re: NASTE 2018 Point Series Championship

I think the main difference is the allowance of motor pods and slightly wider tires.

Division II: Elligible cars' rear tire contact patch must be 8mm or less. Chassis construction may be multipiece/articulating.

Re: NASTE 2018 Point Series Championship

This info is located under Race Rules in this Forum ;

Class 1 - Classic Sports Car
This class is open to classic and vintage sports cars, RTR and scratchbuilt are acceptable. Examples of cars that are legal for this class are: Revell King Cobra and Porsche 904, Ninco Classics (i.e. Porsche 356, Jaguar XK120, Corvette, Jaguar "D" Type),  old Revell 1/32 slot cars (i.e. Ferrari GTO & '65 Corvette), Carrera "D" Jag & '67 Corvette, Monogram Ferrari 275P, MRRC King Cobra & Porsche 904. This short list is not inclusive of all the possible cars, there are other brands that would fit this class with slight narrowing of the rear tires. Motors are limited to those developing no more than 18,000 RPM - refer to the Slot Car Motor List link on this site.  This class is comprised of two divisions (10/21/2015).
Division I: Elligible car's rear tire contact patch must be 7mm or less. The tire width set is that of Revell Classic cars, specifically the King Cobra and Porsche 904. Tires slightly wider than 7mm can be narrowed to meet the rule. Chassis construction must be rigid with no separate articulating pieces such as hinged side pans, motor pods, or suspension type front axle mounts.
Division II: Elligible cars' rear tire contact patch must be 8mm or less. Chassis construction may be multipiece/articulating.
Races will be run at 10 volts.

Re: NASTE 2018 Point Series Championship

Are there BOSA tires that fit Class I wheels? If so, I need about 4 pair.

Re: NASTE 2018 Point Series Championship

Yes there are.  I'll make some.

Re: NASTE 2018 Point Series Championship

Fernando,

  The easiest way to come up with a Division 2 car is to take something like a Slot It GT40 and put in an 18K motor and narrow wheels and tires. They handle really well with the 18k motor and are a joy to drive.

  The next easiest way is to take a vintage Eldon or a Revell body and use a CG 3D printed universal chassis. The mounts fit those bodies perfectly. Use a slot it pod ECT. They will run like a slot it.

  Some of the Ninco classics such as the '56 Corvette, Jaguar XK120 and the Austin Healy are also direct fit for this chassis.

  You can also use Strombecker bodies, but you'll have make custom body mounts.
