Jimmy, well said.
I personally feel so many of the "rules" that are still in play are so out dated and pointless.
Safety yes. of course.
But the rest of them are silly. For off rd 10th electric, as thats what i race mainly. SO many rules are just silly. As Jimmy mentioned many, width, weight etc.
Motors and lipos are all pretty much made the same/similar way as are most ESC's.
The BRCA/ROAR etc etc have been doing it the way they want for far to long. IMHO.
But, will it change? hmmmmmm..............
The "LIST" thats approved, is for the BRCA etc to decide what they put in or dont, and if no one sends it to them and pays for it to be approved etc, then its out. Does this make it unsafe? nope, not at all. I usedsome nanotech cells for 9 months, cheaper than the branded "listed" ones and performed great, no swelling bla bla and still not on the list. they were not unsafe. just not listed.
Motors as well. same thing.
Its all a bit to "the establishment" to me.
Regionals, they scrutineered the cars for weight and width. not one person removed the shell to look at motors, esc, lipos etc etc. If its a safety issue, then i will mention one VERY IMPORTANT THING.,
It says somewhere that all buggies are to have quick release lipo/battery straps, in the BRCA rules. hmmmm, I know of many many cars that do NOT have this. so, they should NOT be allowed on a brca insured track, and thats just about all clubs i think. BUT, No one says a word about that.
Seems that only when it suits them are things looked into.
Just my thoughts/ranting..........
