What is the wt. for 2mm motors cars!>The rules are drivers like yourself.
>With the rising costs of racing and fuel prices going
>enough time getting to the track. Once at the track
>they have to compete with their stock 600 engine vs.
>someone’s bored out 637cc engine all at the same
>weight is unfair. The rules are in place to let the
