Scalextric "SP Type" 18K RPM Motors...

Post by Luke »

To whom it Concern,

Regards to the Scalextric model (F1 "2000" McLaren) car I was working on (last race night) with a Slot It SP type 21K RPM motor instead of the stock SP type 18K RPM motor and was softly asked if that was legal because it was thought/supposed to be the stock 18K RPM motor...

:arrow: That's the 18K RPM FF type motors.

The FRC rules/regs changes from time to time and a rule back in the day when F1, A1 and Indy cars was racing together most of us found out/know now that the cars with the 18K SP motors could not keep up with the 18K FF motors...

Henceforth a rule (back in the day) was made that only the Slot It SP type 21K RPM motor could be used to compete with the FF 18K type MOTORS ;)

From who's letting you know :!: :|

Luke,

Check out the just-added rule number 4 of the F1 class rules. Vintage Sports rule number 2 includes the same option. You quite correctly awoke my old memory on this.
