A normal production white abs vacuumed body which starts as 060 sheet will not meet the overall finished product required thickness due to material stretching. We have had the same question in our local forum too Cheers | |

The disc brake rotors would be fine, but under the current rules you could not use the calipers that mount to the knuckle.

So basically wraith knucles are illegal because the steering arm is bolted to the knuckle and it has weight. Nice. |

if those things were legal, i guarantee people would start making 'scale' brass caliper mounts that weigh 2oz on each end.

| Re: 2017 Scale Rules So basically no, a steering arm isn't illegal since a knuckle is worthless without the arm. A steering arm isn't weight, it's an essential part of the knuckle. Please don't try and cause trouble.

Why do the rules limit the width of a spare tyre? Diameter I understand but why width? Maybe the spare could be scored like this: -1 if there is more than 1/4" difference to the drive tyres -2 if the difference is 1/4" or less -3 if the spare tyre is the same as the drive tyres | |

You knew this was coming... So I take it when the rules say a "human" figure they mean a lifelike human, no skeletons, monsters, Freddie Krugers, nothing other than a plan Jane (or john)person? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

i was asking just because i was brainstorming on how to get to a hardbody out of a lexan body i think is cool. it didnt take long to realize it would be harder to strip styrene onto a body than it would be to just make one based off the lexan measurements.

First tumble or rock scrape and you'd be out of spec. Not sure about genius. |

You could go even further and simple hydro form baking tin over a mold, then glue it to the lexan. The point of mentioning it is that unless there is a "formula spec" there are always ways around rules. Back in the day we ran hard body slot cars, then resin bodies where allowed, then someone got the bright idea to add micro balloons to the resin. The there where fragile bodies that weighed a fraction of the stock bodies. Eventually everyone ran the same dam body, that would crumble in your hand if you weren't careful. For the record I could never drive well enough to gain any advantage trying any of that, and wouldn't bother. Id rather do some modeling and do up a nice store bought hardbody. On that note, would a fiberglass body be allowable? I could see using the inside of a lexan body as a mold for a hardbody not available. I have some kevlar and carbon fiber mat laying around, in need of a project. Last edited by Ditchrat; 01-18-2017 at 08:17 AM. | ||
