FOXY923
TCS rules state you have to run a fwd body on a fwd car. Same with rwd. Not sure if that is what Calvin is referring to?
rcmarek,
As FOXY923 has stated it is against the rules at major events. Not sure if SMA will let you run other Mini bodies, however most state that it has to be a body that is supplied with the kit.
I know we are bound by these rules at Windsor and Penrith.
There are two types of red dot motors. There are the Tamiya red dot motors and the red dot motors that are sold by RCCARDR. The red dots from Tamiya have different brushes to the white dot motors. You will need to read the silver can motor thread to find the difinitive answer.
The red dots from RCCARDR have been run in and the motor to have for TCS events in the States. I would not say they are cheater motors, they have had the brushes and bushes run in so that they give max horsepower when fitted.
Most peolple I know run there silver or sport tuned motors in prior to using them. Nothing to do with tweaking the comm etc. That is when you over step the boundaries.
Anyhow my two pennies worth.
CYA
