Plastic tracks only, unless you have a wood track with metal braid for magnetic downforce.

Couple Q's.

(1) Would the printed chassis be considered the same as a RD/homemade chassis ?
(2) How many points are the Kyosho mag?

Randy

[Cjent]

Great questions, Randy!
Printed chassis are under home made,now but I think I need to be more specific.
Results on DSlot43 mag will be forthcoming.

[transam6870]

Will those of us that make our own tires and rims be permitted to do so? I know you had mentioned ranch but just asking.

[Cjent]

Yes... If the tires do not gum up the track surface. :lol:

[transam6870]

Awesome, the tires I make are urethane.
