Rule clarification for BSCRA 1/24 Production, 1/32 Production and 1/32 Super
Production classes |
This clarification explains the BSCRA's interpretation of the following rules:
H2.1 Only the following metal chassis of one material are permitted:
E2.1 The following chassis only may be used:
E2.3.5 Nothing is allowed to be added to the chassis in front of the forward most part of the motor unless otherwise stated in section E.2.2.
It is not permitted to undertake post manufacture heat and/or chemical treatments and/or shot peening to Production chassis components (Centre sections or Pan sections).
Note 1: For the avoidance of doubt this means any such treatment by any person other than by the original manufacturer in the original manufacturing process. Thus it is not permitted for entrants or intermediate suppliers to treat these components, whether by chemical dipping, replating, heat treatment, or addition of any substances including in solid, liquid or gaseous form or any combination of the above.
Note 2: This does not prevent the use of normal soldering or gluing operations on the chassis components to the limited extent specifically permitted in the regulations. Nor does it prevent straightening of bent components.
Note 3: Production car chassis are not eligible under the BSCRA regulations even if the treatments described above are undertaken by the original manufacturer beyond the specification of the approved product.

The exiting rule interpretation "The manufacturing processes of some chassis mean that some parts are delivered with quite sharp edges. It is permissible to deburr these edges. This must not result in excessive material removal and any such edge radius must not exceed 25% of the sheet material thickness" apples to BSCRA 1/24 Production, 1/32 Production and 1/32 Super Production classes
