interesting the results of the poll i set up to see if when you started you started with new or second hand kit
http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66450 61% second hand 39% new no as this is aimed at helping new peeps into the sport i think the figures tell a tale , i my self even though i have been racing for 10 years still buy kit second hand one for the price and two to see if its any good before i committ i think most peeps do draw your own conclusions from the results |

Motor Costs.
Has anybody sat and worked out how much it costs to keep replacing the G2 motor throughout a year?
Most the lads i speak to easily spent more than the cost of a brushless motor on G2 motors throughout a year, plus there no messing about. And mainly the amount of tampering and tinkering i was hearing about at the mardave GP last year was quite frankly annoying. Running brushless doesnt get rid of g2 standard mardave racing it just moves the sport along like in any form of racing ie getting rid of 2 stroke Bikes in moto and supercross. it will happen eventually but this is a way of integrating, and stepping forward with the sport just like touring cars and such into the inevitable future. |

i went out and bought the mardave brushless system last year as i got fed up with the incosistancy of the brushed motors,
and after some teething issues was pleased with my first brushless purchase however since it got banned from oval racing its been sat to one side. now i find out it will be in superdave class against much higher spec cars once again so still wont be competative. -Doh! i like the idea of updating to brushless and lipo as am getting fed up with nimh cells as it does seems the best cells is what gives you wins and they are alot of messing around to get the best out of them. its definetly the future but im waiting this time till the dust has set.

[QUOTE 1=Gazza
but open your eyes there is a lot of clubs running 13.5 and LiPo they want it and we have gave it to them there is more people out there that just your self Quote] Now that you have thrown your handbag in the corner. Yes my eyes are wide open and i have been reading all the posts about these changes. If you do not like people making comment's which is all i did, then why post things on here the only difference between 13.5 and superdave is the motor basically as everyone will probually run the esc listed in the 13.5 class. superdave is what it says SUPER, use what you want (esc / Motor). How can super dave be super if you propose which ESc that people can use. Surely Super is any motor and any ESC with 1cell lipo. I have seen what loads of changes to the rules did to touring cars over the years, dont let it happen to a form of racing which can introduce loads of people to RC racing. Which is MARDAVE. In my view as Churk said it should be as follows Class 1 Standard Mardave - G2 Motors Only!!! - Any speedo up to price of £70RRP - Original mardave Parts - Original Mardave chassis. - Any Servo Class 2 13.5 Stock brushless - 1s Lipo - 13.5 Brushless Motor Limit. But no Price limit - Speedo have to be non turbo etc only one on list or ones passed by the BRCA for this class. - Any Servo - Original Mardave Parts. - Original Mardave Chassis. Class 3 Superdave - 1s Lipo - Any Motor and Speedo. - Composite Chassis Allowed. [Quote Gazza ; Read the LINK it says Proposed . Quote]Oh and i do know that are proposed for the BRCA but i know that these are the rules that you intend to race at ardent Im glad teamorsom96 agrees |

I dread to think what happened when touring cars went from brushed to Brushless and cells to LiPo's did you all condem that as well I hope you all turn up at the AGM to go over the rules in October and put you voice across there and hope fully we should have an even better set of rules |

Well at least you tried it mate. . .
As long as you can get the NiMh cells which I must admitt should be around for another year but even I'm no 100% on that. Have you seen the Video I did its good fun and I must admitt less hassle |

again no one is saying dump your nimh powered mardave
What is being proposed is rules for making the 13.5t burshless class that i and others want to run (thats my choice as it is yours to run nimh) competative against 4 cell G2 and into the future as nimh's go out of production setting rules in place for lipo brushless thats progression for you the manufactures are looking to the next big thing else we would we all still be sat in front of oval 21" screens and playing on megs drives now as i see it these rules are not set in stone so in stead of all bleeting offers idea's of what YOU the racers want at least these guys are trying dont all que up to flame em FFS people really dont like change do they !!!!! MY 2$ |

we pay £10 delivered for 1/16th micro brushless motors and there balistic,£8 for 40c lipos £18 for a fully programable brushless speedo.the last national was won with the cheap motor and speedo.all people are after is cheap competitive racing not a £75 quid motor rat race.im hanging up my mardave and so is my brother,we'll leave u boys to ur suicide comittee and race micro's and recoils faster and 1/8th of the price,mardave has left the lunatics in charge of the asylum,when you modify the rules in october. you won't be polishing the tird just covering it in glitter
