slotcarmann 2 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Hi folks I have to say 52 cars was a lot to manage - and we ran multiple rounds in the IoM. Much better with say 30-40 cars max. I think we should not get carried away with complicated formulae - it needs to be straightforward, cost-effective and cars and replacement parts easily available. If we continue to limit it to WRC cars, then I think we should look across the board at various slot manufacturers' WRC cars with control motor and tyres and free choice of guide - bearing in mind that really deep guides will not work on some plastic tracks!

curef99 4 Report post Posted February 2, 2016 Hello Dave, why not running a 24 car trial WRC+classic in 2016/2017 with the same rule as the oz rally and have a final for the top 5 cars of each series in both continent? regards fabien Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ember 71 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 Just to prove it does (or rather did) exist and I'm not crazy. It is/was 14.5k rpm at 12v, whereas the MT/5 is a 16k long can. Quote Computers.

kalbfellp 69 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 The problem with the S can is that they hit on the interiors in most cars. The Long cans are lower so just clear the interior. But both are hard to obtain, Quote Phil Hobart Miniature Car Club Tassie Resins Email Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow_rusty 41 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 From what I understand, the M/T-1 is a Ninco NC1 / BWA FC-130 equivalent, and the M/T-5 is a Ninco NC2 / Fly 15k (Original) Truck equivalent. Unfortunately, it seems that M/T are no longer producing these, which is a pity as the M/T-5 is a great motor. And yes, the 'FK' cans fit well under the trays where as the 'FC' cans often interfere. Personally, I'd really like SRP to fit their Speed 16k 'FC' armature into a FK-130 can as that will create a really nice equivelent replacement to the Ninco NC-9 'Sparker' / NC-13 'Evo' motors.

kalbfellp 69 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 If another motor is decided on the conversion has to be easy so even a novice can " Plug in" a new motor with an adapter. Quote Phil Hobart Miniature Car Club Tassie Resins Email Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow_rusty 41 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 Agreed... They also should not really exceed a RX-82B in performance, or the hosts will have 'real fun' with them. FK-180's are a nice fit as Scaleauto/MSC/MRRC and Slot.it both offer adapters, however, you will need to use an axle stop / spacers to centre the axle.

curef99 4 Report post Posted March 20, 2016 this is why i am saying that we should talk to kilslot... i was amazed by their SCX chassis. i bought a xara and ds4 and bought fit nicely and provide good balance to the car. regards fabien Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Gunn 84 Report post Posted March 21, 2016 Another cost Fabian on top of the increasing costs of some of the ideas that KEEP coming around again and again on here over this , from new chassis to ally wheels different types of motors , i think we should stop going round in ever decreasing same circles and decide once and for all do we go with what we have with perhaps allowing the 81b motor in as they are still around on e bay and current SCX newer cars, or do we move on from WRP ,it,s really as simple as that.
