Modified Mini-Z Class

Bandini

If you have a modified class, there should be NO limit on motor types and windings.
I justify this by asking the following:
How would you scrutinise a motor for the number of windings?
What about bearings, magnets and brushes?
What about motor enhancing solvents?

Those are key factors in motor performance that you cannot overlook.
Let the Mini-Z owners do what they want to the motors.
One thing I assure you, if I was racing and you wanted to scrutinise my motor by disassembling it, I'd tell you exactly where to go!

The best thing is to split modified into two categories:

Turbo and non-Turbo.
The Modified non-Turbo class should facilitate things like GPM motors, Mini-ZRacer.com motors and custom built motors.

Stock classed can be limited to standard and X-Speed type motors. They should be factory crimped and show no signs of tampering.

That way it's lot more fair to the drivers and a lot less technicaly challenging to the rules and scrutineers.

Easy huh?
