[quote][i]Originally posted by fola[/i] its me again and I should actually be working ;-) but. reading the comments from overseas i felt I just had to add another 50cent. The one Chassis, one body and so on thoery works only up to the point where the limits have been reached and the racers start wanting better, faster and so on. We here in Germany and most of the readers on this forum are on a different level and are no longer beginners on SCX/scalextrics tracks we are all so far here that Plastic tracks are even almost a thing of the far past. have reached and passed that stage and there is absoloutly no turing back For myself and many others , the one thing that keeps the hobby interesting is the innovation and the ability to be different and progress. Without that factor the whole scene would be pretty boring. I love tweaking and developing a new Chassis just as much as I love builbing new bodies and the two belong together. Some people go even further and get kicks from building their own controllers ! If there is a restriction on Chassis, then there should be one on bodies too and on the controllers! All these restrictions would make the hobby pretty boring , and I for one would then be forced to move on..... As Francesc mentioned, the Parts and materials problem is thanks to the WWW no longer a problem. The distance is also not a problem thanks to highly efficient postal services. The stuff I order in Japan often arrives faster and cheaper than stuff I order here . Almost the whole world can communicate in English and 99.9% of the webshops we use speak english too. Paypal has made making international payments easier than local payments so the are really no more obstacles any more. The most important thing is INFORMATION..... and that you have to get yourselves through communication. Thanks to this hobby I have met so many different and interesting and open people. The people are just as much fun as the cars themselves. The drive for improvement makes them even more fun.... For the "lazy (or too busy) people" a Gruppo Z class is just perfect. We have the same here (Mini Z) and it is also becomming very popular. It is not my cup of tea but great for those who cannnot build their own bodies or whatever reasons, but are interested in being a part of it all. Mark mentioned the page from Lemans.... Intrest passion means a valid Idea but how to apply? and is our hobby big or strong enough to accept this of classification? We already have different series but different classes within a series........ Regards, Fola [/quote]
