Hey space_doc, my brother and I are both going to Oshkosh. We'll both be racing STOCK. Not too much pressure to have the right setup...just the right tires and some skill. I contacted the event organizer and he said yes you do have to purchase your own transponder. They have them for $60 or amb-it has it for $64. They said you could purchase it the day of the event if need be. He stated that first place prizes are new miniz cars! But hey for $64 transponder and the $15 entry fee you could buy your own new miniz! The event organizers email is hobby@vbe.com (hobbytown usa store) so drop him a line if you have any questions.
You asked about teching CF h-plates and bearings. It is my understanding that _any_ bearings are allowed in mod and none are allowed in stock. Am I wrong? Also, the Kyosho CF h-plates are a totally different material. The other aftermarket stuff is laminated graphite and the Kyosho stuff is a natural unlaminated material. IMO the Kyosho ones are superior for handling anyways.
You are not wrong. The stock class is just that BOX stock. No bearings or any modifications to the car/chassie. Any rubber tirescan be used (no foams) and only Kyosho wheels (plastic no alloy). The "open" is just Koysho upgrades with the exception of Batteries and bearings. Any bearings and any batterie can be used. Oh yea, The stock is just alkaline Batteries.

mzm you still here?
Gonna take your old Betacam and daddy's stopwatch with?
Will you dispute the end result like you dispute everything else?
I thought you were playing with HotWheels cars and Tamiya Mini4WDs nowdays.
nope. I do not like mini 4wds any more but I still collect hotwheels cars. . But I dont think you'll be at the oshkosh race so i'll be glad because I wont be racing against "AN ONLINE BULLY" . and anyways the guys that i'll be racing will be good drivers but if you went to the oshkosh race me and the other guys from this site would waste you easy. .

Hehehe, on-line bully? I like that, although I have no idea what your talking about.
Waste me easy? In a race? You could certainly try. Waste me by another means? You'd die trying..
Two points of clarification. Any ball bearings may be used. The do not need to be from Kyosho. Secondly, you must provide your own transponders........good luck!
Then they must have changed the rules. The Z Cup in New York They supplied the Crystals, Transponders (if you needed one) and the stock class could NOT have bearings.
