Hi everyone! I could use your expert opinions. Rule interpretation can run the gamut. However, I want to make sure our car is as fast as possible for the district race, without violating any rules. I plan to upgrade our wheels and axles for this race by ordering the Dynasty Rage wheels and pairing them with the Dynasty 93G Super Axles. Below is a copy of the district rules pertaining to wheels and axles. Will these wheels and axles be allowed?
WHEELS:
A. Use only Official Scout Grand Prix wheels.
All lettering/numbering, both inside and outside, must remain complete and be visible. The fluting and other BSA markings on the outside wheel area must remain visible. Outer wheel surface may be lightly sanded, shaved, or polished to remove surface imperfections and mold casting burrs, but must not be reshaped in any way in an attempt to lighten the wheel, minimize tread contact or alter aerodynamics. Tread surface must be flat and parallel to the wheel bore. Coning the hubs and truing the inside tread edge is allowed. Tread width may not be less than 7.5 mm. You may add material such as glue, fingernail polish, or tape, to the inside of the wheel to aid in balancing of the wheel, but no material may be removed from the inside surfaces..
B. Wheel Bore treatment is allowed including polishing and/or tapping. Wheel bores may not be filled and re-drilled to alter bore diameter or to achieve better fit with the axle.
The following wheel modifications are PROHIBITED:
A. Rounding of tread surface/wheel edges B. Grooving, H-cutting or V-cutting C. Altering of wheel profile D. Narrowing the tread surface, other than truing inside tread edge E. Drilling sidewalls F. Hollowing, sanding, or otherwise removing or modifying material from inside the wheel G. Filling of any wheel surface with any type of material
Please note: There are aftermarket modified wheels that are LIGHTENED. This is usually done by turning the wheels on a lathe and removing material from the inside of the wheel. These wheels are NOT allowed and EASILY RECOGNIZED at inspection. Cars with these wheels will not be permitted to race.
AXLES: BSA Nail type axles are required with an overall diameter of no less than .084 inches for each wheel. Some polishing is allowed as long as overall diameter is not reduced below .084 requirements.
