[quote][i]Originally posted by Francesc[/i] Hello Gert Regarding this: "What I'm trying to tell you all is that iff you allowe mixed use of different brands to get the ultimate chassis. Slotracing will get it's down moment again." My experience in Spain it's absolutely oposite to your afirmation. We race for some years with the formula of only one make chassis, and day after day the people leave the hobby. When i start with the championships of GrupoZ (model cars with Kyosho RC bodies) and model cars with free rules, day after day we have more people. Also you can see the experience in the DSC championship, where the chassis is absolutelly free, you can also race with a home made chassis. Some people try to link the obscure days of the slot racing with the freedom of chassis and materials, and yes, exists a relationship, but is not only this. I'm one of the racers who in the begining of the 80's leave the slot racing, i was an eurosport racer, i made my own chassis and rewind my own motors, but i leave the slot racing for something so simple like girls, "fiesta" and work. Another scenary to show you that your afirmation is wrong is the 1/32 slot racing. In this moments in Spain , the 1/32 slot racing is living a golden age, and never before you had so many racing stuf and new products like now. You can choose a mix beetween Slot.it, NSR, Ninco, SCX, Scalextric, Fly, Sloter, Avant Slot, Spirit, Hobby Slot, PN Slot and many many brands, with a lot of news each month, and never before we have so many entrants in the races. But this is not what i disagree regarding the rules, i disagree the fact that these rules are not coherent, they put limits in the development of the chassis, but not in the bodies. Also permits some "foreign" parts for some chassis but not for others. And don't be confused with my attitude in this question, this is not a problem for me, because i'm in a very comfortable position in relation with some manofacturers, i have a R&D and if i need some parts, they do it for me and for sale. For example i needed a chassis from Momo to meet the IMCA rules, and Momo did it (X-SW07 GT). But i hate the non coherent rules, and some absurd limits to the creativity. For example in the part regarding the chassis, will be easier for everybody ( racers and race direction) rules like: "Chassis free of choice beetween the commercial ones, mix of parts of different manofacturers are allowed. Home made parts are allowed if the part in question has a similar shape and only does the same role of the substituted part" If you remember, this is very very similar to the rules of the IMCA worlds 2004 of Uden.......
