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.  Slot.IT magnetic and spring suspension is allowed, with any Slot.IT spring intended for their suspension.  Inline & sidewinder motor pods only, standard or offset. Sanding edges of motor pods and chassis for float is legal. No modifications to axle mounts front or rear is permitted.  Front axle ride height adjusting blocks must be in place if included in original model.   Axle shims and/or stoppers are allowed.

WHEELS AND TIRES:

Any Slot.IT front or rear wheel can be used, except F1 wheel.  Original Sideways wheel insert must be used regardless of what Slot.IT wheels are used.  Inserts may be painted if desired.  For front, original Sideways or any Slot.IT rubber tire may be used.  For rear, any Slot-it S1 or S2 silicone tire except F1 is legal for the intended size wheel.  All rear tires to be supplied by driver on race day.  Rear tires may extend past body by no more than 1mm.   No chemicals may be used on the tires.

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 hand out motor will not have pinion installed, and motor 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 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.
