  • Chassis may not extend outside of the side panels by more than 1/4" on either side.

  • No lexan or any other material may be mounted to nerf bars, bumpers, cage, wing, or any other part of the car that will trap, alter, or direct air flow for the purpose of gaining an aerodynamic advantage.

  • Must have appropriate openings on both sides of cage in driver compartment, forward portion of side panels can be no taller than highest point of hood.

  • Additional material may be used/added to either side of the side panel openings to replicate a scale appearing driver, but a decal or image of driver must appear on this additional material.

Bumpers

  • A flat, curved, or tubular front bumper (or combination of) must be utilized and may not be used to direct air or create downforce.

  • Scale appearing side nerf bars must be used on both sides of the car (nitro rules will differ).

  • Nose piece may not extend above the cage down tubes or an imaginary line connecting the down tubes if the cage is a split design.

***Note that the hood and nose piece can be one piece or multiple pieces for the purpose of easy access to electronics and suspension but are defined as above for purposes of aero rules.
