| (b) | It is the responsibility of the racer to ensure that the purchased Scale Auto cars are accurate, complete and without missing parts. (Including small plastic and photo edged parts.) |
| (c) | An original example of the homologated Scale Auto car as described by Art.1.1.0 (a) will be at Technical Control as reference for the Technical Director and Scrutineers. In the case of all disputes, the judgement of the Technical Director (or race jury) will be final and binding. |
| (d) |
All of the chassis and body parts that come with the Scale Auto car as described in Art. 1.1.0. (a) must be used.
See Rules-Pictures for additional clarification.  
If a part is shown in these pictures it must be on the car according to the manufacturer's intended mounting and location. The only exceptions are as follows: Art. 1.1.3. (b). |
1.1.1. MODIFICATIONS | |
| (a) | It is not permitted to modify the RTR car or white kit in any way other than those parts of free make as described by Art. 1.1.1 (b) |

| (c) | Scale Auto tuning parts including the carbon spring plates and rear suspension etc. are NOT permitted. |
| (d) | Scale Auto supplies different height axle holders to allow for different riding heights, thus SC-8147a-d are all legal.

| (g) | The ground clearance of the body during the race is never less than 1.6 mm. |
| (h) |
