Already done. Everything is based on the Artins. Plan to expand out in other areas in time.

Right now going through a few issue here. Had to have work done on the foundation of the house. It did not go so well as now there are plumbing issues that need to be addresses. End result - Big bucks and time to get things in order. At first we thought the 1/43 drag strip was going to have to be torn out in order to do some of the work but nit the case at least for now. House will be torn up and not sure if the meet in Aug will take place . Might have to reschedule it but will not cancel it. Meet was just a trial anyway to get some guys over at Nitroslots to try the 1/43 size. SMall interest is there and I feel that with a few more events the numbers will grow.
Now back to laying out some chassis on my 3 D printer.

I always thought that voltage power should determine class category. 3 volts, 6 volts , 9 volts, etc. you get the picture . since the number of 1/43 motors available vary considerably I think this is the logical way to go . could make for some interesting builds. ???????????????????????

Classes by voltage is something to consider. Along those lines I got out a couple of 1/32 scale cars and set the voltage for 9 volts! The cars were stock and ran very smooth and turned some nice times. Nothing super fast but more to scale. The voltage was enough that it still spun the tires until they got traction! Very realistic!
