ronnie sester bodies

[Dirtsmygame72]

Is the bodies that Ronnie Sester makes Legal to run in national and points races?:confused:

[kkracing]

If they aren't molded they aren't legal. They must resemble latemodel dirtoval cars no wedge bodies.

[cycleeric]

That new wedge body is making a big stink on here over the past week

Thanks for answering my question.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

If the molded body rule was instituted for safety, availability to all racers, and appearance, Ronnie's bodies meet those requirements, & IMHO they should be legal.

[TRUCKER SPANKY]

ALL I KNOW IS THAT IS A BAD BODY SOMBODY PM ME WITH A PHONE # TO BUY ONE IF THEY DONT LET US RUN IT I WILL STILL HAVE ONE GOTO GET THANKS:checkeredflag:

[jsnhld21]

that black and yellow body is mine they just shipped it today.if you order a body it takes awhile for them to make them but its worth the wait:checkeredflag:

[Quick Change]

Good looking body

[cam]

IMO..If you can run a tricked out chassis, you should be able to run that body..... But only in OPEN.....Which we don't have many opens at C&S . Maybe at the Summer Nats????? Beamer

[ahinchma]

There is a point where you can't have every body or every chassis made by everyone and still have a competitive class. I like llm cause bodies and engine are similar and until recently chassis where too. I think we need to update some rules otherwise you'll have issues with cost and the class will shrink. Allow one folded body got to allow them all. And I can tell you we'll have a C&M folded body the very next week that will beat it!

Let's let everyone get caught up on the chassis war before we start a body war.

[jsnhld21]

Good looking body
thanks man

[Jason Bowlin]

I dont run 1/8 and dont plan to but legal or not that is an AWESOME looking body!!! Very nice work!!

Jason

[TRUCKER SPANKY]

rules llm seems to have no rules on chassis i thought llm was a starter class. look at all the modified cars if you mod. your car move up to open. look the car count it is dropping off pay outs are not right . after being posted times. and hard for a non working man so hope didnt make mad but if you post it let it be true dont lie thanks the body is bad like Cam said

[wfw94]

Legalize it, then I can manufactor my own.

[DarrinNumbers]

Man, I have seen some of Ronnies Bodies in the past, and did not like them.... I must take a step back and say "WOW" these are awesome. I really like the looks of these somepared to the ones I have seen in previous years!

Very Nice guys.... Very good looking racecars!

[DJM]

Good looking body. The real late-models body are not molded, why should the scale cars be molded.
We should be allowed to run what you want, after all we are paying for it. :thumbsup:

[ahinchma]

DJM how often do you run a C&S? Must be a heck of a drive from OH. Guess that's why I respect your opinion on this subject so much.

If we were to ever let these bodies run then there is no stopping a C&M folded wedge body. Problem with everyone's big "No Rules" talking is you can't cry when we start bringing one-off high downforce bodies that aren't for sale to anyone but team drivers in.

Want to distroy a class start letting winning be decided on who's getting what parts and bodies that aren't for sale. Too much of that going with chassis's now.

[iamsam47]

We aren't talking about a one off trick body folded up by someone trying to get an edge, Ronnie's bodies are available to any racer that wants one. He is a businessman with an online store ( which some molded body manufacturers don't have). As far as a C&M folded body, I'd hate to think Clayton has spent all that money on vacuform equipment when all he needs to make a body is a brake.:D

I totally agree. I don't run 1/8th scale , but I do run a 1/10th C & M Nitro body which im hoping will be legalized soon. In my opinion Clayton has come out w/the most to scale & realistic looking Latemodel body on the market.

As far as Ronnies bodies go, the only thing I think should be changed is the fender fins. I believe if they were shortened a bit they 2 should be legalized if they are available to the public.

Just my 2 cents.

GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith S.

[ptown]

I have been around this sport a long time and have seen what the body of the race with EDM bodies has done to that class. If everyone starts bending their own latemodel bodies the same thing will happen. I reaaly don't want to see another class destroyed. Just my two cents worth.

[JONSEE]

C&S Guys dont get caught up in the hum drum of the seem to be topic of the centry. let it go before what we have is ruined but those who dont even race at the facility. let them battle out the body issue respect what we have and enjoy what is offered.

steve jones

[Ovaloldtimer]

I like Ronnie's bodies, but I agree C&S has been at the for front of the 1/8 LM craze, so what you are doing is working why change that, and you've got a great body man that races at your place (Clayton) I say stick with the molded body rule

[b@htujc]

c&m bodies FTW!!

[TRUCKER SPANKY]

Well i like my a plus

[Ovaloldtimer]

Trucker there trying to keep the the body wars away by not allowing folded bodies, because once you do, it will be anything goes, and that will run racers off, you'll end up with bodies worse than this.

This is a body Tim McNutt done and they could look like racing triangles before its overreally don't see anything about this body that is any more advantage than the molded bodies that are out,you cant tell me that the nose on the A+,Losi or RJ speed bodies look anything like a real late model so they were obviously designed to make the car handle better,without body dimension rules any of the molded bodies can be trimmed with the same amount of rake that Tim built into this body so in my opinion the any molded body rule is about as vague as the buggy based rule.Just look at the Dynotech body that caused so much trouble,

[SSraceway]

Guys, these bodies fall in the same rules of the molded bodies as far as size, shape and the realistic look of the DO LM. ive been producing and selling these bodies online for over 3 years. There was no huge market of bodies available for 1/8 scale LM, back then. We produce these bodies for anybody.We were featured in all RC magazines, center spread, when the 1/8th scale LM started. We are not trying to step on anyones toes. we are promoting Dirt Oval. This is what is important. This gives everyone a chance to pick there own body. I have offered all race track owners one of my bodies free of charge, to try for themselves. I will sponsor or support or promote any track. the more involved, the more successful the hobby will be. I agree to body rules, this is very important to the success of any tracks race program. I have stride all of these years to maintain the look of the real LM, and i will continue. My bodies are made personally for each individual order. You can buy my bodies several ways. I have put a standard look to them however each individual can put there personal touches to them. You can even buy them built and painted the way you want them.
Its kind of simple on the rules:
this is just a suggestion:
1. All hand made bodies must be in production where every racer can buy, in a hobby shop.
2. They must resemble real LM.
3. Length, width, height, is easily achieved by a simple box, made out of wood.
I will be more than happy at N/C to send every track owner a box if we can all agree on a length, width and height. (We can also send a simple diagram of all of the bodies that are available.) We are not reinventing the wheel,

Sincerely,
Ronnie Setser

PS. I support all other bodies and welcome them into my hobby shop and track.
Wait till you see my new 1/8th scale EDM bodies and 1/8th Scale Sprint car bodies

What is wrong with something new? People want to look at something new. I just think it is neat to see how someone can make a body like that from a sheet of plastic. And besides who put you in charge of others opinions.

Guess we can talk about it this weekend at the track. Oh Wait you live in OH and don't come to the track.... It's not about something new or if it is "neat" (FYI - every body starts with a sheet of plastic). This thread is about does it fit the rules of C&S. BTW it does not. Lake Wylie (That's in SC for those who live 600-700 miles away and want to comment) will be a great place to run these bodies and if they really turn out to be advantage then we'll all have a folded body there (Now wouldn't that be neat).

[TRUCKER SPANKY]

here is an outside opinion, this is from Websters online-

Main Entry: 3mold Function: transitive verb Date: 14th century 1archaic : to knead (dough) into a desired consistency or shape2: to give shape to <the wind molds the waves>3: to form in a mold <mold candles>4: to determine or influence the quality or nature of <mold public opinion>5: to fit the contours of <fitted skirts that mold the hips>6: to ornament with molding or carving <molded picture frames>
— mold·able http://mw4.m-w.com/images/audio.gif (http://mw4.m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?mold0002.wav=moldable') \ˈmōl-də-bəl\ adjective
— mold·er noun


Now from the body rule listed above, I see no reason how you could not allow a Setser body. It is molded. It has attributes that are molded for re-enforcement. Now if the rule was stated.... Bodies- Any comercially available Vacuum Formed lexan body of any thickness that has a Max Width: 13 inches and Max Length: 25 inches. etc. There would be no further need for discussion. Until the rules are revised, which fairly should be at the end of the year, then why not let them run it?

Now you may ask what business is it of mine? Well I make EDM bodies and have been vocal and involved in discussions about having a DODC approved list of bodies. I would rather offer an outsiders point of view so both parties can freely debate rules and help rule makers make informed decisions without hurting those that support them.

[TRUCKER SPANKY]

it is molded just a front plastic valence i love it if you need a body just call ronnie or me spanky i will make sure you get one or two i can help you ronnie 's body rocks:checkeredflag:
