Looks like a great crowd of spec guys this week. .Time for race six of the point series this sat. Jan. 3 . A couple of new people are coming in for the class so here are the rules again


Spes class Rules :


1) All cars are Tamiya TT-01 or TT-01E.

2) Hop-up's allow:

a. Ball bearings

b.Any Oil filled shocks and springs (we like Tamiya #50746)

c. Turnbuckle steering tie-rods (Tamiya part #53662)

d. aluminum drive shaft (Tamiya part #53620 or #54026).

3) Gearing will be FIXED- kit 19t pinion and 61t spur

4)Tires: HPI x-patterns tires (4490,4495) Any wheels and inserts are ok.The tires that come in the kit are also okay to run , Racing Radials #50419, racing slicks #50454 or semi slicks #50810

5) Any brand of 1/10 scale coupe or sedan body (please- no trucks, GTP, LeMans or F1 bodies).

6) Batteries are all 7.2(7.4 lipo) volts. They can be 6-cell- nicads or 6-cell nimhs,and Lipo's (We recommend Team Orion carbon edition 2400, 3200, 3400 and 3800)Other Lipo's of 4000mah 25c or lower are allowed ,but must fit and mount under the stock battery hold down mount . No mods to chassis or battery hold down are allowed. Lipo's charged voltage of 8.44 or less.

7) Your choice of electronics.

8) No weight minimum, but don’t lighten the car chassis or parts because that’s not allowed. Feel free to add weight in order to balance the car if you’re going to use a lipo pack.

9) Qualifying heats will be 6 minutes long. All Mains will be 8 minutes, with a bump-up for the winner of each lower Main ( that's right more time on the track)

10) Here’s the best part: motors will be Blind Draw Red Dot 15K’s and they are provided for the race free of charge. All motors are certified to be within 1% of each other and have plenty of power. Pull one out of the box for your race and return it at the end of the evening…or maybe we’ll swap them around again for the Mains. Also feel free to run clip-on heat sinks( the tamiya one is #53664) . Remember that the motor must be returned at the end of the evening. If you leave with a spec motor you’ll owe us a $45.00 replacement fee.

Alright Guys.... after looking over whats going on now in my life I have decided to part ways with my Type-R. I have the front oneway, spool, center oneway, steel lipo tray, full green seal bearings and a few other things. Looking for $325. I would like to see it go locally before it goes to the for sale thread.

Joe

You can only use the Novak 21.5SS (#3421). Technically you can't use the Crawler version because it's not in the actual rules, but I'm pretty sure no one cares about that.
