It's no fun to beat everyone else with something you got and they don't, People will leave if they don't have a chance and where will you be? no race. I used to race slotcars, the commercial type and before i'd modify something (bend the chassis, shim magnets or advance timing) I'd ask if it was legal in the class. Locally, most cheated and i was allowed to run my setups, but i never had secrets. If i found something, I'd tell anyone that wanted to try it. come the big races, the owner really had to watch the regular cheaters to make sure they were in spec to the rules. Its just a shame, people need to gain an advantage to feel good about themselves. If they want to eliminate cheating, I propose these rules;

1. no motor limit, self explanitary, run what you brung
2. plastic tires, most be hard plastic, any softening will get you excused from the track, no exceptions
3. if you are not having fun, find another hobby, nobody wants to hear you complain

I think those three rules will seperate the racers from the cheaters


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
