THE BODY:
Bodies must not be modified or cut in any way-including wheel wells, EXCEPT: Since Racer has produced a car without the side panels, they can be removed altogether at the spoiler, or trimmed slightly along the bottom for clearance on the banking. Both spoiler and wing must still be in place. Cars must start each race with all parts intact (except for mirrors, wipers, antennas)
All cars must start with rear wing in place. Bodies can be painted. Simple paint is allowed but all cars must have numbers and look like race cars. Bodies must be attached to chassis using provided screws in stock location. If body screws are run loose, tape must be placed over holes in bottom of chassis. Windows must remain transparent. Due to an observed issue with some bodies clearing the spur gear (if using sidewinder configuration), a spacer/spacers of a maximum .030 width will be allowed on the rear body mount post to address this issue.
CHASSIS:
Racer chassis only w/Slot-it motor pods. NO TRACTION MAGNETS. Inline & Sidewinder motor pods only, standard or offset. Sanding edges of motor pods and chassis for float allowed. No modifications to axle mounts front or rear is permitted. Front axle ride height adjusting blocks must be in place. Only Sideways original or Sideways lexan interiors allowed. The complete interior must be used and no modification or lightening is allowed. Axle shims and/or stoppers are allowed.
WHEELS AND TIRES:
The stock front and rear wheels must be used. For front tires, original or any Slot.IT rubber tire may be used. For rear, any Slot-it silicone tire except F1 is legal for the intended size wheel. Rear tires may extend past body by no more than 1mm. Original inserts must be used but may be painted. No chemicals may be used on the tires.
GUIDE BLADES:
Only Slot-it guide blades are allowed. Any manufacture braid and wire can be used-must be attached to guide through Slot-it eyelets and may not be glued or soldered.
MOTOR:
Only Slot-it "Orange endbell" motor is legal (21,500 rpm @ 12volts), supplied by race host on race day. You will use your own Slot.IT pinion, as motor will not have pinion installed, and must be returned to race host after conclusion of the race. Any Slot-it pinion may be used. No chemicals (ex: Voo Doo drops, etc. ) shall be added to the motor. Tape for holding the motor in place, if desired, will be supplied by the race host at the time of tech inspection. Only this tape will be allowed and it will be applied during tech under tech supervision. One (1) piece applied uniformally (an example will be shown on race day) shall be allowed for the sole purpose to hold the motor in place. Holes may be cut out of the tape to allow for cooling over the motor vent holes. No foreign substance(s) and/or objects shall be allowed to hold the tape down or to be placed under the tape as well. The race director will have the final determination if any questions or conflicts arise.

Any gear ratio is allowed using Slot-it gears
