AMENDED RULES
OK - now we have got the cars, taken them out of the boxes and driven them - here are some slightly amended rules
RULES
>> Magnets must be removed
>> Light trimming of the chassis to allow free movement of the body should you wish to loosen screws. If you take too much off in an attempt to reduce weight - your car will be banned. You should not need to sand more than 1 or 2mm off the edges.
>> Weight may be added to the chassis and inside the body only. No lead. You can use anything non poisonous and non-magnetic to add weight. No external additions to the car. Replacement wings may be used as long as they fit in the standard mounting slots.
>> Axle bearings may be changed.
>> Any type of braid may be used.
>> Rear tyres may be treated with mineral oil only (3-in-one or similar) but must be dry when placed on the track. Hallucinogenics and goop are banned you hippies!
>> Rear tyres may be replaced with alternative rubber or urethane tyres of any make - please no silicones as these de-rubber the track
>> Front tyres may be treated to make them "zero grip" but they must not leave residue on the track.
>> All tyres may be glued and trued.
>> Wheels may be trued and flashing removed.
>> Paint jobs and decorative personalisation are encouraged.
>> Motors and axle bearings may be glued.
>> Front axles may be adjusted for height BUT both front wheels MUST touch the track on straights.
>> Guides must remain standard but may be filed on the leading edge if necessary (to avoid catching on lane changers).
>> Pinions and gears must remain standard.
>> Axles may be replaced.
>> Wheels may be replaced with other plastic wheels (no metal wheels). BUT no ridiculously small wheels please.
>> The track (overall width from tyre edge to tyre edge) must remain standard - no widening to improve handling.
>> Motor must remain standard and must NOT be opened under any circumstances. Motor foil must remain completely intact.
>> Rules may be changed with the agreement of at least 3/4 of current Ninco1 class drivers ("current" = has raced in the class in last 3 months)
