If a steel chassis class is to be introduced, what about the MJK's? For a little more you get a complete car! Body, motor, axles, grub screwed alloys with inserts etc. I'm sure if we all bought one we could get a good deal from Syd?
The only down side is he only has EH's and FJ's. (But they are a plastic body, not resin... so a little tougher) I've got a GTHO shell I'll have a look and see if it could be used.
I know this is a bit OTT but, if you want to look at HRS chassis v1 goes for about $49, for that you get motor (sidewinder or inline), chassis, wheel, tyres, guide, all you need is a body (good chance for those with broken cars to resurect one).
Downside Is you run the risk of it being just another Slot.It class.
i'm easy on this one. For those who are unsure next time we catch up i will bring my plafit cars and you can have a run. This may change your mind. A lot of work to set up but once done thats it. At least this class is closest to every one having equal equipment. having said that if we dont do it then thats OK.
