DS0090 Pocket Checker
#3

If only it were that simple. Bigsmile   This is for club racers where they race on plastic track without any magnets other than those in the motor. The RPM and magnetic attraction of the motors to the contact rails is measured.


There are in every club some quite serious 'racers', and there are some who will still try to get around the Rules/Regs of each Class and who will use every trick in the book to have an advantage over everyone else.  This can go to the extent of shaving the bottom of the bodyshells and cropping the body mount posts to get their car lower to the track, or...using slightly smaller or larger diameter wheels and/or lighter mag wheels, or changing pinions, or even re-wrapping motors, or swapping the motor magnets and even the armatures etc etc. I have seen them all in my time at one club of another.  Class Rules/Regs are there for a reason...to make it as level a playing field for everyone as possible.
