RC Pro finally gets it

[crazyjr]

They reworked the Mt class into an extreme class, with seemingly no battery voltage limit, at least it doen't mention one. There are two new classes on the list, 1/8 E-buggy and 1/8 E-arena truck (truggy) Both have this in the rules

In the RC Pro Rules for E-Buggy and Truggy
Motor – Brushless no limitation. Sensored or sensorless.

Batteries – 4S, 5S or 6S lipo. No MAH limit. Batteries must be in good physical shape no cut, damaged or swollen pack allowed. Hard cases not required. Batteries must be secured properly in the vehicle, strapped or clamped into place before the event begins.

Nice to see they are loosening up, I know some would like to see higher Voltages, but its a start. This gives me all the motivation to convert my Losi 8T truggy to electric and fix up my G2R for the race wars. I plan to send an Email and ask for specific voltage for MT (extreme) and will report back on what i find.


edit; I just heard back from Carlton Epps Of RC Pro. Here was my question and his answer

Is there a max voltage on the class? There are for the E-1/8 buggy and E-1/8 arena truck (max 6s lipo), Will this be the same for the MT class?thanks

his answer
The max 6S is specific for the 1/8 buggy there are no size limitations for the Monster Truck class.


this will make things intresting in the MT class
