Default Vintage Series 2010 - Discussions!

Who's interested in running some olde worlde cars then??

It's been suggested that we have two classes:
- Vintage - Pre 94
- Classic - Pre 99

If we went down that route then they would probably run together but score points based on the class they were running in.

Also, are we happy with 6 rounds with 4 to count? 100 points for 1st with extra point for pole?

And finally, last year there were no restrictions on motors, do we want to level the playing field a bit and specify a motor (silver can or cheapo 18T for example) or let it be a free for all?

Let me have your thoughts please

The pre 99 category was suggested by a couple of Cat 98 owners, but don't know if it'd be that popular as the pre94's.

I quite like the idea of a 'control' motor as it may encourage more people to bring out their older cars without worrying about their transmission and would level the playing field a bit.

totally agree on the motor limitations ... try and keep it mainly original ... the old bad boys is good to level it all out ... and nimh's to power them.

Nah sorry Carl, I'm not going to go and buy nimhs and a charger for this!
Motors maybe, as long as everyone agreed to run the same one, but most people have lipos now

Agreed... the battery cant be controlled but with stock brushed motors so cheap now why not run them to keep everything equal and fair?? Just a thought...Any idea when the b2 ceased and the b3 came in?
