Ha ha Eric you got seniority on me I figured you knew. Maybe just put a side note to the rules. We have a few new members coming in. I didn't realize they may be having a hard time. I can understand them not feeling comfortable just shooting questions off when they first come in. I was a church mouse until I knew every one. Just for any of the new members reading. When I first started I could NOT figure out how to add willie bars without mods or drilling holes. I finally asked how are you guys doing it? It was easy to ask yes we can drill holes for willie bars. Also original top plate. You can still swap around top plates. They just can't be custom top plates. Example: I had autoworld white top plate. Yes I can use it on a black chassie. On the traction magnets you can add them if the chassie don't have them but must be close to position of other brands(autoworld). Example: you can add 2 traction magnets. No they can't be glued to your shoes. No they don't go on your willie bar. they should be just in front of rear wheel. Those threw me off when I started so hopefully help clear up any questions for new builders. Yes I have senility on, you Thank You Sam. This is my second TJet race, yes Im learning.

Here is a photo of the chassis in the Beretta. It is an old style 4 gear that originally had no traction magnets. We have been running these in stock class for many years with added traction magnets as all the newer 4G chassis come with traction magnets. The ones I am using actually have less downforce than the stock ones, they are just easier to attach to the chassis than the round ones. 4 G chassisSlightly off topic, but look how clean the body lines are on the underside of that Baretta! You wouldn’t even be able to tell it is a resin cast body, if I didn’t already know it. Jeff really did a great job. Looks every bit as precise as an injection molded body. We are lucky to have some world class resin casters in this group!

Thank you Bill. That one was a frankensein for sure. It's still a little too narrow as are some of my other castings. I'm starting to focus more on that. Sam (660slots.com) and Rick's (HairyCanary) bodies always have plenty of tire space.

Bill, I sure cannot make a body like that, thanks again to Jeff for making that one for me. I decided to run it in stock as I figure it's a pretty safe class for it.
