Tough decision for the midwest series director, spec class or any buggy based chassis converted to a sedan. Engine rules or claiming rule. Leisure has a spec class that didn't come together last year. And I hear cincinnati lets the ofna's and IGT's run together. Personally I hate RTR's (Igt)much prefer an ARR version(OFNA). Seems like a waste of money tossing the TX & RX & servos from an RTR. Really I would like to see if I can convert my mugen X5.

Default X Scale On-road

I'm going to run at some of the midwest and Cincinnati races this year in the large scale onroad class. I have always run 1/10 touring and still will, but the large scale realism with rubber tires just looks like a lot of fun.

At our local hobby shop track we have decided to run this class and try it out for the year. Rules are simple: rubber tires, $200.00 motor limit with most everyone so far choosing the Ofna DM-1 chassis. Other chassis will be allowed, but eight racers have already chosen the DM-1.

I think this will be a lot of fun this year. Here's my car.

Thanks,

It won't be long before I find out. I am waiting for my electronics to arrive and then it is off to the track to determine what works best.

At our track SS Raceway in Tampa, most are running 70w or more in the shocks.

Diff oils in the front are 50K & up and rear diffs are 10K to 30K in most cars.

We're racing with sway bars and the Kyosho 55 shore V-slick rubber tires. IGT Spec class racing is a lot of fun.

If you haven't seen the video yet, here it is again.
