Can't really tell you if they are. A pic was posted on the LJLRC Facebook page saying they were for this race. Two from Tom, two from his daughter.

Sorting out the cars and getting them numbered I noticed that the Johnny folks sent in some quality race cars! I predict some good racing coming up.


I've been working on the Tastelikedirt track today trying to provide a smoother transition from the downhill to the flat straight away to the finish line.

As a result the track is now. Starting line 4 feet high. Downhill is 15 feet long. Straight away 17 feet long.

I was just sitting here with some free time with all the cars next to me and a scale next to them. So I decided to weigh the cars. Weights are all over the place. There is a 24.6 gram difference from the lightest to the heaviest car. I posted all the weights above. Take a look and, what do you think?

IMO a little overweight might be understandable, but 20% over?!!!
Not trying to be the 'stick in the mud' here, but why do we have rules?

This is Jeremy's race series so it's totally his call, but I have to I wonder what would happen if we sent "mods" to race in one of the LJLRC "stock" events?
