-
- Chassis must be stock and cannot be modified in any way except to cut off molded-in body posts and drill holes for axle retainers.
- All magnets must be “HOPRA Approved” stock ceramic or “compression-molded ceramic grade
polymer” and cannot be cut. - The gauss reading of the traction or motor magnet shall not exceed the following criteria. This
is taken after 5 min cool-down period and at the lowest point on each magnet as it runs parallel
to the rail. Any reading above these figures will be cause for disqualification or rejection at
tech.- TRACTION: 1680 gauss maximum
- MOTOR: 1250 gauss maximum
*Magnets are listed by magnet manufacturer and may be used in all chassis adhering to class rules*
