Hey guys, been wondering about rules where the word stock is used. Primarilly about brushes, does stock mean as comes from mfg. Or does it cover aftermarket replacement brushes. If it does cover aftermarket where is the line drawn. All kinds of replacement brushes available. What would qualify as stock ?

PC Stock brushes means "as supplied from the manufacturer". In the case of the X-Tractions, the brushes must have the little tit on the bottom. Matt |

Thanks Matt, kind of figured stock was as supplied from mfg. Wasn't really thinking of any particular class just in general. Just any concerning stock. Brushes wear out and become useless. I assume they can be replaced, but only with the same type brush from the same manufacturer ? To keep within the rules that is. So for todays stupid question. A brush with no dimple or dome or any identifying shape. Lets say a t-jet type. How would you know the difference if not a silver replacement ? Better yet, how do I tell the difference ? Have a bunch of different type of brushes. Not sure where or what half of them came from.

i don't think any of our t-jet classes, even stock class says you have to use "stock" brushes. just readily available

Hey Wood, thanks. Been a while since I actually looked at rules. So any type of brush is allowed in the jet classes as long as "readily available".

Hey guys, picked up a couple of X-tractions for next race, guess they were from two different releases. Different pick-up shoes on each and different packaging logo. Remember being told either shoe ( flat or stepped ) is ok. Each car had a low 15 ohm tri-lam. Seem to have a growing collection of 15 ohm arms, and afew 14 ohm'ers. Are the 14 ohm tri-lams good for the street class ? One of the cars is just in desperate need of help. Figured ask first before playing arm swiching games. Checked rules for street class and only found "stock" under arms. Are the 14's considered stock for the street class ?

Hey PC..I would think if the cars came with a 14, it would still be considered stock. I do know that the ohm ratings have gotten lower on the newer releases, that's why I don't see why those arms couldn't be run. But, I'm definitely no 'expert' on stock classes...LOL! ;D Ron (Bondo)  |

Thanks guys,
Figured the 14's would be ok, just wanted to make sure. Read thread posted by Ninjatek, now concerned about front tires. Reason being, after getting two X-tractions found same chassis in parts box. Too cut up for using in race but front wheels and tires are of different dimensions than new X-tractions just picked up. Same diameter but different widths, both tire and wheel. Looks like not only style but dimensions of front wheel have changed through the years. Wondering where we stand on front tires since only changing of rear tires is mentioned in rules.
