my track is 1/64 scale 1/8 mile and 24 volts for all classes. I know there are other voltages preferred, but I have used 24 for a long time for all kinds of 1/64 builds and find it to work well.

classes are still being determined but will be announced Saturday July 30 2016.
please make your desires clear ASAP as to which classes you want.
some folks already have. need to hear from more folks.
trying to get the season off to a good start and I know a lot of guys are doing outdoor stuff right now.
so, all I ask is that we post up our class desires now.
having classes determined by the end of July 2016 should allow enough time for guys to get their builds done and tuned.
it has been brought to my attention that stock classes are intended to use only stock parts that were originally included on each type chassis.
the exception is slip on silicone tires that replicate the diameter and width of the original stock tires.
adding a wheelie bar is also an exception.
now, the main reason for this post is specifically G-plus wheels which there are only one brand of after market tires for.
gel claws makes tires that fit the wheels.
considering that other brands of slip on silicone tires are desired by many it is suggested that the stock wheels be altered by grinding off the the offensive area.
G-Plus chassis will still be required to use stock G-Plus wheels and the alteration will be allowed.
this has been an issue on more than one occasion and we do not want repeat "misunderstandings" regarding the rules.
Can you explain your G+ wheel rule to me again? I'm just curious about your post? I have been running G+ wheels on a Magnatraction chassis using Tyco Supertires. They are a perfect fit for G+ wheels. The way I see it is, that if the tire diameter doesn't exceed a set size there is no performance advantage.
Would my set up not be legal at your race? Again just curious?
OK, I guess specifics regarding G-Plus is required here too.
it is the TOMY G-Plus wheels that are in question not the original Aurora.
wheels that come on TOMY G-Plus are vastly different than most wheels as are the tires.
in all stock classes, the intent is to use wheels that would have originally come with the specific chassis.
I know that many original Aurora wheels are interchangeable on the axles but I would prefer that Tuff Ones wheels not be used on later original Aurora chassis.
Thanks for the clarification. I kinda assumed that you were talking about what some folks refer to as Super G+. Never liked those wheels. Thankfully, the new Megas aren't like that.
.I am unable to create a sign up list, so, please indicate your intentions about which class(es) and how many entries in each class here please.
