Hi guys just to clear things up here the rules, as i can see that they have not been updated on the website. i am noot to sure if these are fully pdate but i will find out off Kevin Appleby.
RVRCCC GT12 Rules
Racing Classes
1.1 Brushed motors – these to be the G2 2010 motor only.
1.2 Modified – either the G2 motor or a brushless motor with a minimum wind of 13.5 turns.
1.3 Only one drive motor is allowed per car.
Chassis and Components
2.1 The chassis is to consist of one continuous sheet of metal or glass/carbon fibre that extends from a minimum 10mm ahead of the front axle line and runs continuously along the car to end 25mm minimum behind the rear axle line. The chassis may not include any feature designed to allow the front and rear axle to rotate along the central axis of the car relative to each other. (The aim is that the chassis supports all the suspension components and is sufficiently rigid not to be used as a working part of the suspension system).
2.2 The material of the chassis must be available from the manufacturer in a kit available at or below a price limit of £99.95 (The aim is that it is not solely available as an upgrade to a rolling chassis kit).
2.3 Metal materials used in the rolling chassis may only be steel or aluminium. Special materials such as titanium are not allowed. Brass and lead only may be used as identifiable weights to meet the weight limit and when removed do not have any effect on the cars function as a rolling chassis.
2.4 All suspension systems must operate independently of the chassis.
2.5 Separate dampers are only allowed on the rear suspension and must be of the non-sealed straw or tube style. Those requiring seals to prevent the egress of oil are not allowed.
2.6 The front suspension may be independent provided that the suspension design does not have any pivot, rod or other mechanism that alters the wheel camber in roll relative to the chassis during its full travel. (The aim is to bar the use of suspension systems used on Touring Cars, GT10, 12th and F1 cars.
2.7 The rear axle must be a solid straight axle for the brushed class but may be fitted with an integral differential for the modified class.
2.8 Only a fixed speed transmission is allowed.
2.9 Gears to be of either 32DP or 48DP.
2.10 Rolling chassis kits may not have a recommended retail price higher than £99.95.
2.11 A rolling chassis kit may exclude all electrics and bodyshell but must include one complete set of wheels and tyres suitable for use on a carpet racing surface.
2.12 Ballraces are allowed on both front and rear axles.
2.13 Cars may only have two driven wheels with drive to the rear axle.
2.14 Minimum ground clearance under the car is 3mm (1mm under the spur gear).
Electrics/Electronics
3.1 Speed controllers may not be equipped with any form of automatic or programmable timing advance. If this feature is available then it must be disabled such as in the ‘blinking’ mode.
3.2 If using a sensorless speed controller the above rule does not apply.
3.3 Brushed speed controllers are without restriction providing they have an operating reversing function and are available with a recommended retail price not exceeding £65.
3.4 Cars with G2 brushed motors will be powered by cell/s with a maximum nominal voltage of 4.8volts.
3.5 Cars with brushless motors will be powered by cells with a maximum nominal voltage of 3.7volts.
Bodies, Wings and Bumpers
4.1 Any commercially available Mardave, Kamtec or Schumacher, ABS, Lexan & Carbon effect bodyshells may be used, with a maximum width of 165mm. Bodyshells for the 12th scale racing class are not allowed
4.2 The shell must remain securely fixed to the car throughout the race.
4.3 The windscreen must be transparent and side and/or rear windows, if any, must be clear on Lexan/polycarbonate bodyshells.
4.4 Windows may be cut out on ABS and carbon effect shells.
4.5 No portion of the chassis, wheels and tyres or any equipment may extend beyond the body, except aerial masts and four posts for the purpose of mounting the bodyshell.
4.6 Roll-over masts/antennas are not allowed.
4.7 Wheel wells must be cut out if the original cars are cut out and should be not more than 10mm larger than the tyre radius, with the exception of scale size and/or shape wheel well cut-outs.
4.8 No supplementary aerofoil or fins shall be fitted to the body with the exception of a rear wing if desirable. This wing must be non-metallic, commercially available and securely fixed with a maximum width of 165mm and chord of 50mm.
4.9 The bodyshell can be decorated to suit the individuals taste providing all coatings are of a permanent nature.
4.10 The shell must be high enough not to damage the carpet.
4.11 Bumpers may be fitted but must be designed to minimize injury that could result from being hit by a car and to reduce the risk of damage to other cars. Rigid bumpers made from non- resilient material such as metal are not allowed. They should not have an edge radius of not less than 1.5mm.
Wheels and Tyres
5.1 Wheel rim diameter to be of a maximum of 40mm.
5.2 Tyre width must be a minimum of 20mm and a maximum of 26mm.
5.3 Tyres to be black except for any side wall detail.
5.4 Any tyre additive may be used providing it is non-toxic, odourless and any excess is removed from the surface of the tyres, and tyres to be ‘touch dry’ prior to the start of the race.
5.5 Wheel nuts and/or axles must not protrude more than 2mm beyond wheels.
5.6 No more than 1.5mm of wheel outer side may be exposed (not covered with rubber) on the outer edge of wheels.
