How would this affect unprepared parking lot tracks low on traction?

i think its kinda cool.. like a 1/10 modded into a 1/8 lookalike with the lola and the wider track
although itll be a longshot to get running and cant half tell kawahara see it as a buisness proposition

In europe the 235mm is still driven in some countries, some made to their 200mm cars other suspensions or only other shafts to place Impact/835 wheels and so they can race in these series.

If they are going to do this, they might as well revive the 235mm class here in the states. I really loved the 235mm cars and those are the cars that got me into serious onroad nitro racing. I still have two of the Serpent Impact 2wd cars with touring car bodies and would love to run them again.

Enstead to create a new class, then get all the 235 mm out and roll again.

It is a good idea since running this class just requires a basic touring chasis with a change in Body type and tire with special off set and width.
The other thing is that tire wear would be reduced since the your gaining 10mm of width in the rear with the same weight chasis...

The problem with the 235mm class is that it is not very popular and I don't know any manufacturer with a new chasis for this class. I guess if I had one sitting around I would also want to race it but I wouldn't want to buy an outdated chasis for a class that is not very popular....
This new class is based on a very popular chasis with changes in body and tires......

"Essentially they are saying that due to the power of modern .12 engines that the cars have become more difficult to control."
Does anyone agree with this statement? I sure don't.
