Hi Tony, Looks like that link is not working. Let's try this one : http://picasaweb.google.com/100400793531523576905 Cheers Werner

.....Question on all the MCN 1/32 Sideways Group 5 racers : In last year's regulations about the allowed cars in this class there is specifically the Porsche 935/78 listed. Does this mean that the other 935 types like the 935/77A, 935/K2 and the expected 935/K4 are excluded ? If not, can you please let us know and we will add them to the list. Thanks. Cheers Werner

......Yes, we will only do this when the 2016 regulations have been published and changes are no longer required. We can also have a one-post-locked thread here with links to the MCN information. Many people do not refer to or use this forum. Cheers Werner

Best of luck slotcarnut I am hearing you may need to tune that one for running on a plastic track. Check with the Red Racer crew and have a great Nationals BigMick .....It is always better to read the event info first : https://picasaweb.google.com/100400793531523576905/MCN2016#6220225696940768402

......Thanks for spotting the deliberate error Alan. It now reads ....."for all MCN Classes". Cheers Werner

Hi all, The 2016 Australian Model Car Championship will be held as usual on its traditional weekend in June but for the first time, that will be in Queensland. Red Racer Hobbies with its great facilities will be our host and that fact allone will certainly guarantee a great 3 day model car racing event. All information about the MCN 2016 will be published on our website here : https://picasaweb.go...3576905/MCN2016 All MCN classes have now been confirmed and are listed. The current 2015 regulations have been shown as a reference. The 2016 regulations will be finallized until 31.January 2016. At this stage there are no major rule changes to be expected. However within the 1/27 Miniz-GT Class, it is proposed that the new Plafit #1900 Chassis will be included for next year. More info as it comes to hand. So, for the new year, plan a visit to sunny Queensland in Winter and put the long weekend of 10. - 12.June into your diary. See you all soon at Red Racer Hobbies. Cheers Werner

........Type of car, chassis and weight would also help to know for better advice. Cheers Werner

..........Sent PM's to Jacob and Vince a couple of days ago. Can you please reply ? Thanks......

.........For the 1/24 Formula 1 Class there has an optional addition been made to the two nominated body sets. The new Plafit #2817SW Nylon Wing Kit (front + rear) can now also be used : Once assembled the kit is screw fixed onto the chassis both front and rear. The body has to be trimmed accordingly. Of course this set is heavier than using the wings supplied with the body. However it is much more robust during racing. Both front end winglets as well as the rear wing sides can be trimmed and shaped according to the specific 1:1 Formula 1 model. This is just another option in how to build a Formula 1 car in this class. Once painted this wing kit can look very realistic. The regulations have been updated and there are more photos here : https://picasaweb.google.com/100400793531523576905/2015Regulations124Formula1 Cheers Werner

The 2015 GTJ Regulations have now been published : https://picasaweb.google.com/100400793531523576905/2014Regulations124GTJ A short summary of the main changes : - Minimum car weights have been reduced - Fox IV Motors to be used at the 2015 APC (hand-out) - #1700G, GX and both #1900 Chassis can be used - Maximum chassis width for the Honda NSX has been increased - Independent front wheels can be used - GTFS Front Spoiler can be re-shaped at the front Cheers Werner

... No, nothing has changed with this regulation. Bending the angled mounts in order to change their original design purpose is still not allowed. With the 2015 GTJ Regulations, these will be published by latest 24.July. Cheers Werner

.......Yes, the #1900S has axle ball bearings. RRP's are $ 95.00 for the #1900 and $ 120.00 for the #1900S assembled chassis. Still waiting on sufficiant stock at present..... .......Only the #1900S chassis will be included within the 1/24 Japanese GT class for the 2015 season. All other classes will stay with the current regulations. During the year we will do a lot of testing with the new chassis system to see how they perform compared to the #1700 chassis. Cheers Werner

The new Plafit 4 #1900 Chassis Generation Two new designed Plafit 4 chassis have now been released, the #1900 standard….. ……And the #1900 S pro version. Both chassis differ from the current #1700 chassis system mainly in the two-piece main chassis plates, the independent axle bearing and ground clearance adjustability with screws rather then spacers as well as different suspension controlled body mounting. The standard #1900 chassis is for smaller 1/24 cars with wheel bases between 92 - 106mm. However an optional 10mm longer front chassis plate will bring the maximum to 116mm. Minimum required body width is 46mm. Both main chassis plate segments are connected with a flexible Nylon stabilizer plate in the centre as well as two small torque plates which use 2mm spacers. Movement control is possible with the Aluminum CNC made Strain Control Unit (SCU) in front of the motor. Four set screws in combination with different strength gel caps inside the SCU allow an exact fine adjustment. The body mount system works with two independent blue Aluminum plates featuring adjustable spring suspension and a flexible Nylon cross bar. At this stage it is only designed for Aluminum angle body mounting. The ground clearance setting on these new chassis is very easy by adjusting the horizontal and vertical screws on each bearing holder. A 1mm shim set is included which allows the use of a large variation of wheel and tire diameters. The chassis weight including all running gear and 13D Motor is 107 grams. This chassis and parts drawing shows the components of the # 1900 Chassis : The #1900S version is for larger 1/24 cars with a wheel base range of 99 - 119mm and a minimum body width of 64mm. The design is very similar to the standard chassis however the body mount system is more comprehensive and uses flat body mount plates. Very similar to the #2800 Formula Chassis, the independent blue subframes are hinged on steel rods and Aluminum blocks. There is an optional front chassis section with suspension available. The rear chassis plate features an opening for a lower motor position. The chassis weight including all running gear and 13D Motor is 121 grams. This chassis and parts drawing shows the components of the # 1900S Chassis :
