We had a great crowd of spec guys last weekend , time for race two of the point series this sat.Nov.29. A couple of new guys asked about the class last week so here are the rules .
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 #50519 or #53619)
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 mount bar. 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.

Tom and I will both be running 1/12 this weekend. I need to find a small spur so I can switch it over to brushless.

If you race oval we run an oval program every other Sunday. Doors open at 9am and the first qualifier is usually between 12 noon and 1pm. Mostly 1/10 scale pan cars but we do have a Trans Am oval turnout as well. Next race is December 7th.
Hope to see you there.
