OK, after talking it over Lexan WILL NOT be allowed in BoxStock! Our Challenge is it's own thing, Jim used some already standing rules, and talked with people who race a lot, and came up with the rules we have. We do have to take into account the progression of the Mini-Z, and adapt from there, or risk it folding though.

On Jomurema bodies, they are a "grey area" in our Box Stock class. Since the beginning they have been allowed for people starting out in the scale/format to learn with since they are soo easy on the walls. However if a person was to start constantly running up front with one they would be asked to follow the rules and go with a Kyo body. That's always worked, and that's what I intend to follow. Mainly because if I wouldn't have been shown the Jomu body and told to run it in Box Stock, I probably would have quit out of frustration of trying to get around the track cleanly!!! It allowed me to learn and develop the necessary skills for this class and I had been in r/c for over 30 years at that point, just never at this scale! Now even though I'm in no way good enough to be first, I run a Kyo body. Now I did file a few mm off the splitter of my 12C, as I was tired of breaking them, but just enough so it wouldn't stick under the walls. It will still stick if I hit hard enough, but it's alot better. If others do the same, I get it, as all the Kyo bodies produced now have big splitters, and will have breaking problems. And I can barley afford the $30 bodies made now, let alone buying a old stock body that is easier on the walls, so whatever we can do to protect what we have.

And AM03GT is correct, the Jomu with the factory window is HEAVY! So once you learn with it, you can be much faster with a Kyo body, and you usually start running into Traction Roll problems with the Jomu when you are fast enough to switch anyway.

So I hope Yall are enjoying running the new Layout! Remember to Breathe, Blink, and HAVE FUN!!!
