I carry the PCS32 chassis at the store and if this goes through, I would appreciate if you would buy them from Colpar. Tom

Thanks Tom, I think i have most of those motors. Tim, i kind of like the idea, I was hoping that maybe my Carrera BMW 2002 might qualify, but the wheelbase looks like about 78mm. That aside, would this be a good chance to use a specified motor?? I have thought for a long that the H%R Hawk ( app 14k) at $8 to $20 ) would make a great motor for class racing, esp on little cars that didnt got that fast in real life either I do have a Lotus Elite clear plastic body, i5 iw amazingly small but so was the real one, I had considered making a fun car out of it by utilizating some 1/43 Carrera parts, but perhaps the PC32 motor might be a good fit, any idea how narrow of a car the chasis might fit??

I think the H&R 14k motor or the Ninco NC-1/8 would be perfect motors for this class. Tom

I've run the Hawk and it's a decent scale motor so I second Daryl's request for this to be a spec motor. And while this is Tim's class I would also suggest the cars be hardbodies and based on real high production cars.

I have also run the H&R Hawk motor, which is 18K. It is a good running motor. Tom was talking about the H&R Jack Rabbit, which is 14k. Both are less than $10. I would think if you are using a resin body, the 18k Hawk would be a better choice. I don't know how heavy these resin bodies are from GTM. The cheap ones I have bought make a Carrera body feel like a vacuum body.

P.S. The newer Ninco classic cars came with anything from a NC-8 to a NC-12, that is 16K to 23.5k at 14.8 volts. The Porsche 356 was more than a handful with the 23.5k motor!!

correction on H & R motors.... the Hawk is 18k, the Jack Rabbit is the 14k motor I was thinking about,,,,,,, both motors should go for under $10. You were right Tom.
i kind of am leaning toward the 14k. My 18k hawk is a really decent motor I think the mini's would go too fast with 18k. That being said,,,,, is anyone nearing completion of the mini car. I could bring the fHawk to Colpar and they could borrow it for evaluation in a mini.

tom,, do you have any pcs32 in stock,, I would take one with the adjustible feature. I am hoping that PCS has designed this chassis around 3/32 axles' ... my Ninco testa rosa kit, and monovell Ferrari 250p kit. came with these really crummy axles, somewhat smaller than 1/32. I did not have any common size bearing that would fit the bearing bracket on the chassis. Let alone decent wheels. It is beyond all reasonability for them to have used thesis odd size axles. ( i won't comment on NSR)

I have 2 at the store Daryl. Also, I'll bring in a Datsun 510 with a PCS 32 chassis and the 14k motor in it to show how it runs. Tom

Daryl, that's because MRRC did the "re-release" of what was the vintage Monogram 250/275P Ferrari, and their modern cars are all on metrics, even down to the tiny fasteners! You cannot "mix" their componentry with other makes. Another one that is metric is Carrera, at least on their "early" (10-15 yrs. ago) stuff. Haven't measured recently. This "discrepancy" (of course some consider it great progress!) has caused me headaches in a number of situations. Even their "clubman" chassis of recent production, fine as it is, is all metric again down to every last bearing and TINY fastener (and they are tiny!).

To combine a couple comments about motors and bodies, i think if we are running 14k motors then hard bodies should be the way of things. With Lexan more than likely just run circles around the resin cars.
Me personally i wanted to run 25k's but ya know i just like to go fast.
14k Hawk and hard-bodies/resin it tis
Thanks for the intreset

I already have a Datsun 510 resin body with a PCS chassis under it but it's a 3" wheelbase. I don't really want to buy another body just to build another car at 2.75". And, btw--a 25K motor in these cars would be almost undriveable. Actually, not even almost, just undriveable.. Tom
