OK, the cell usage was not discussed at the AGM, race format and length was.

If you want to start quoting in the 8-10 thread, that these rules were done for the WRCA to, then incorrect, I have the notes here, that were handed to me, by Hywel a couple of days after, as I couldn't make that meeting.

Now, as I understand it, Hywel wanted Hard Cased all the way, some of you wanted soft, so a compromise of a tough case, fixed to the chassis of your 1/8th car, which would encompass your cell. I have already discussed this, this evening with Hywel, and he has confirmed that that was what was agreed.

I am not being negative, I am reiterating what the notes have said. Just because maybe you are interprating the rules differently is your issue, not the WRCA's.

I do have a little bit of knowledge in this area.

Talking of rules, any idea where we can find them? (10th and 8th)

plasticard is not a 'hardcase', LiPo's are encased in ABS or similar.

So why did Paul Knight order these sheets in and recomended them.. Isn't Paul Knight on the WRCA committee???

He is the treasurer, as to why he ordered something that you will have to glue together and have no structural integrity, I don't know.

How about these sheets?????

they are made with ABS!!!

Maplin N69FK http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43708

Why make one, when you can buy one?

rather than have all that needless guff, wouldnt it have been easier all round if you just posted that link over an hour ago?
dont like the colour of it anyway, it would clash with my anodised countersunk washers....again purchased from Mr Knight (other model suppliers are available)
I will be returning my plasticard to Mr Knight 1st thing tomorrow!! and demanding my 94 pence be refunded immediately!!
...if its not good enough for DCM it aint good enough for me

[DCM]

I didn't post the link cause I thought I was dealing with educated guys...... but then you are nitro buddies, so I would blame it on the fumes!!

[gnr racer]

you didnt post the link because you wanted to take to the stage & boy didnt you!!
yes we are nitro buddies, and from what i could see at the WRCA meetings it was 'nitro buddies' & certainly not 'electric buddies' that showed any concern regarding what the WRCA are doing this year.....so i say be thankful for the fume affected 'nitro buddies'.

[axeman]

Finaly are we happy!!!!!!

So the WRCA (that being you DCM) are happy for us to run Maplins plastic tubs!!!!

Trust the Welsh to be difficult!!!

[DCM]

Just spoke to Hywel, and yes, those cases from Maplins, we would be happy with, and they even come with screw on lids to make them fully encased.

I like to think us Welsh as thorough rather than difficult

Am i missing something here, my lipo's only just fit in the lipo tray, how on earth will that maplin box fit in ?

[minimatto]

Guys the final decision will be done by club committee, as even if WRCA allows soft cell lipos encased, if a club's local rule states hardcase only then the local rule applies.

[axeman]

Thorough !!!!!!! I now understand why you have 5654 posts!!!

In future please attend the meetings or make sure they are on dates you can make..

It will save a lot of hassle!

After all it's your WRCA

PS. I run hardcase lipo's anyway just like a discussion!!!
