THOR 2022 CLASS STRUCTURE & RULES

THOR’s 2022 Class Structure and Rules:

THOR Pro & Amateur I Rock Class

• Slot cars will be supplied by THOR.
• Slot cars will stay on their colored lane.
• Controllers will stay on their lane.
• The drivers will drive all lanes with the slot cars & controllers staying on their color from the start of racing.
• Slot cars can be built to any class rules, including Hard Body, Super Stock, or Mod.
• All slot cars will be tested by THOR creating a batch of cars that perform as close as possible to each other.
• If a problem with a car occurs, THOR will handle the repairs.

THOR Pro & Amateur Hard Body Class

• The goal for this class is to make the Super Stock cars we race now run with a hard body.
• Legal chassis are: BSRT G3/G3R/G3RS/G3RSB, Slottech T3, Wizzard Storm/Fusion, Viper Scale Racing V1, & any production AFX, Tomy, Life Like, Auto World or Tyco chassis.
• Armatures must be a production, machine wound red wire armature. Armature & electrical system may be stock, stock replacement, or commercially available. Armature cannot be less than 5.8 ohms measured pole to pole at room temperature. Hot stock, balanced & trued armature are okay.
• Motor magnets must be OEM equivalent, per production AFX, Tomy, Life Like, Auto World or Tyco cars. That means ceramic motor magnets, OEM or aftermarket. Motor magnet max gauss 1250.
• Traction magnets, (Tomy Super G+: upgrade Tomy or level 10 traction magnets). (Tomy Mega G 1.5 OR 1.7; upgrade NEO magnets, 48, 50 or 52 chrome or gold). (Tomy SRT; upgrade NEO traction magnets, 48, 50, 52 or Polymer magnet bar). (Tyco 440-X2; upgrade to BSRT #271). (Wizzard MHP 11B, HCS Pro-8 or Pro-10 Polymer traction magnets). Traction magnet max gauss 1680
• Approved bodies, the body style will be announced prior to the race event. All racers will use the same body style when racing. Body style can be any style of Indy/F1, NASCAR, GTP, LMP etc. in hard plastic or resin. No LEXAN bodies are allowed.
• The hard body must mount in original chassis position.
• The hard body cannot be lightened. F1/Indy style bodies must start the race in stock condition, no broken wings or missing flaps allowed. If body parts break off during a race that body can continue in the race till the completion of that event.
• Hard body can only be lowered utilizing a body clip, (like the Viper “lower” body clip or some other brand).
