Well not only the arms...there are other areas that they could adjust to bring the car into 180mm like the off-set in the rear uprights as an example. Or even a combination like narrowing the upright off-set by 3mm and the arms by 2mm. I think it was ultimately not a good thing for the class that 3Racing chose to go that route. But perhaps Tamiya will pick up on it and maybe do a version of the F104 at 190mm.

You mean a vehicle like the old RC10 DS; which was the RC10 chassis with smaller wheels and out of scale bodies?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 190mm was standard since the Ta01. The original HPI RS4 was the only car that was able to do either 190 or 200. I see you point though, it wasn't true to scale like it should have been.
So I'm beginning to wonder: If a national set of rules (or even a international set) were to allow up to 200mm, would that mean that everyone would flock to 200mm for performance?

The cars was things like your 4x4 buggys, like Cats and Yoks, but used the 235mm Saloons bodies.
The TA01 was standard wheel at 180, and offset wheel could be 188.
YR4 was 190 with own wheel, and didn't use a hex, just a pin direct to wheel (like SC10 rear)
UK runs 2 classes, 190 Rubber and 210 Foam/Rubber, with the latter more popular.

The challenge to me is personal. I don't care about winning everything I enter but it is my challenge to myself to make the car better and faster as well as pushing my ability to go faster. I build the cars as I go. I will push myself to get the most out of a car until I decide an upgrade is necessary to get to the "next level" Because it is a personal challenge I don't mind spending money on my toys. I'm not buying what everyone else has to try and keep up just buying what I want to improve myself and the car.

F1 RC racing, Sydney style

This is Q2 at an SMA Tuesday night club meet. I was hoping the final would be up by now, but I'm very thankful to the guy who managed to capture this. Ignore, if you will, the two pan cars

After mulling it over for a while, since my only big problem with our rules here is the paint scheme, in the end it's a pretty stupid thing to keep me out of it. My concern is that at some point I'll get tied up with other cars that look like mine and will get confused. Fortunately real race teams will make subtle changes to differentiate each driver from each other so I've decided I will pick the real paint scheme that I want to run and will then just do a little highlight such as a standout color on the intake box/rollover structure or wing ends. Nothing pink or anything like that. It it's a Ferrari then instead of running black wing ends (assuming that's what they run), mine might be red. Something subtle like that but appropriate to whatever paint scheme is chosen. It's a believable thing that could happen in the real world and will still quite easily preserve the intent of the rules so hopefully no one would take issue with it. I just need to know for certain what car is mine should it be surrounded by others that look like it.

Not this year, lol. As far as I read, all F1 liveries must retain the same paint-job for the entire series.

I think he is talking about in the real F1 car series not the rc series.
