the relevant class rules or specifications. Wheel wells must be cut out if the originalvehicle ran that way.6.1.12 Antenna openings in the body may not exceed .375" in any direction.6.1.13 Cooling holes: Bodies for on-road fuel-powered cars (other than touring vehicle bodies)may have up to 1/3 of the windshield cut out. Bodies used on off-road fuel-powered carsmay have up to 1/2 the windshield cut out. For touring vehicle windshields, one coolingopening is permitted, limited to a maximum of 60mm in any direction.6.1.14 Refueling holes: A refueling hole is permitted in any body type for fuel-powered cars. Thefollowing restrictions apply:6.1.14.1 The hole must be centered directly above the fuel tank filler neck6.1.14.2 For bodies where the fuel filler cap extends above the body when open, such asSports/CanAm or off road buggy bodies, the clearance of the hole to the filler cap may notexceed .375” in any direction.6.1.14.3 For closed-roof bodies, such as Touring Car bodies, where the filler cap does notextend above the body roofline when open, the hole may be a maximum of 30mm in anydirection, and may not intersect with any other hole in the body. Holes for use of the glowigniter and carburetor tuning are allowed.6.1.15 Unless otherwise stated in the relevant class rules or specifications, the rear section of abody may be cut out as long as the rear sides and quarter panels, including the taillightsand side portion of the rear bumper remain intact It is recommended that some portion ofthe cut line remain visible to help speed technical inspection. If the body has no lowerbody trim line, then the fold line is considered the cut line.6.1.16 Body components must remain on the vehicle, except for accidental race damage.6.1.17 The following body types are authorized for use on the various track surfaces:6.1.17.1 OFF-ROAD BODIES6.1.17.1.1 Buggy and truck bodies used in <strong>ROAR</strong>-sanctioned events should resemble those usedin full scale off-road and stadium racing. Sedans, out-of-scale truck, and van bodiesare prohibited.6.1.17.2 ON-ROAD BODIES6.1.17.2.1 These include four general categories:• Sports Cars: Closed wheel cars designed specifically for racing in full-size series such asCanAm, GTP, WSC, ALMS, etc.• GT Cars: Modified versions of two door street cars such as GT, GT-1, TransAm, and T-1Touring Cars• Touring Cars: Two- or four-door sedans that have competed in a full-size Touring Carseries.• Open wheel cars: Single seat, open wheeled cars that compete in CART, Formula 1, IRLand other similar formats.6.1.17.3 OVAL BODIES6.1.17.3.1 These include:• American-style Modified Stock Car (includes Outlaw Wedge and super modified),• Trucks such as those used in NASCAR Truck racing• Sprint Cars• Stock Cars, such as those used in NASCAR6.2 BUMPER <strong>RULES</strong>6.2.1 Bumpers are not required in all classes, but when used, they must be shock absorbingand non-metallic, with no sharp edges. For safety, rigid bumpers, such as fiberglass andcomposites, are not permitted.28
6.2.2 Front bumpers must be of at least 1/8” material (3/32” for 1/12). Bumpers will not extendforward of the body except on off-road cars. The bumper may not extend to the sidebeyond the outer edge of the tires.6.2.3 Rear bumpers must be made of a solid material with rounded edges and may not extendto the side beyond the outer edges of the tires, and may not extend beyond the rearmostpart of the body except in off-road vehicles.6.3 SPOILER <strong>RULES</strong>6.3.1 Definition: For the purposes of these rules, a spoiler is a flat plate attached to a body or tothe trailing edge of a wing in order to increase down force and traction when a vehicle istraveling at speed. Except for F1/Indy Cars and Sprint Cars with front and rear wings, theyare always located at the upper rear portion of the body.6.3.2 Many R/C racing bodies have molded spoilers. In some classes, additional material maybe added to increase the height of the spoiler. Where this is permitted by the class rulesor specifications, the dimension specified includes the molded spoiler.6.3.3 Spoilers may not extend beyond the width of the body.6.3.4 Where permitted, add-on spoiler material must be securely fastened to the body.6.3.5 Spoiler side plates when used must conform to the class specific rules.6.3.6 Spoilers may be clear or painted, and may carry stickers.6.4 SIDE DAMS.6.4.1 Definition: Side dams are flat plates applied to the sides of bodies to increase thedirectional stability of the vehicle when traveling in a straight line, or to the sides of wingsto increase the efficiency of the wing. The use of side dams is permitted in some classes,as indicated in class rules or specifications.6.4.2 Side dams are normally used as a part of a wing set. The only exception to this rule is themodified stock vehicle, which may use one side dam attached to the body. If used, the topmust be securely fastened to the opposite side of the body at the front and rear of thedam.6.4.3 On Oval racing cars, two side plates are required on the wing. The side plate may extendbelow the wing chord (within the dimensional limitations defined in the relevant classspecifications) but may not touch the body.6.5 WINGS6.5.1 Definition: Wings are aerodynamic devices attached to vehicles to increase down forceand traction when a vehicle is traveling at speed. The dimensions of wings varydepending on the class of racing, and are described in class rules or specifications.6.5.2 Only single element or two-element wings may be used, and then only when allowed bythe class rules.6.5.3 Wing mountings:29
