The only reason i am watching so intently, is because my track is ready to get into an organization and they are looking at a few to join (top of the list is ROAR, RC Pro and the eastcoast Nitro series), but if they go with ROAR my lipo's Might be outlawed till legalized, and my mamba maxxes might be illegal to run, with current rules.

Personally, I have always been in favor of "run what you brung and let the skill be the difference", Too bad that others don't like them rules (ROAR and the like)

That sounds good, as long as they don't outlaw a lot of stuff people are already using. If there's an official class for brushless 1/8th then there's more reason for tracks to let them race and will help get more people into it. Hopefully we don't get limited to novak motors and nimh.
I like the "run what you brung" sort of rules as well. You can only have so much power on an off road track before wheel spin becomes a big problem, so the most powerful setups don't really have an advantage on the track.
I can understand all the rules for the stock classes, but stock has always looked pretty boring to me.

Hah...ROAR...stands for:

Ridiculous Organization Attempting Racing


I also have to agree with the whole "too much power" concept. However, I think rules like the ones ROAR has would be appropriate for things like stock racing or things were motor power is restricted. I say this because at a certain point, if you let everything fly, the guy with the most cash is going to have a significant advantage (so long as he can drive worth a damn).


However, I COMPLETELY disagree with ROAR on the fact that they have so many small and pointless rules. If it were me, all I would so is set a maximum motor length, diameter, KV, and voltage level. Or make some sort of equation that creates an index out of certain specs (like KV and Voltage) and the index must not exceed a certain amount.

Well whats going on in on road around here is there running stock, and then 19T is the spec MOD class, so the orion, LRP, novak bla bla all the sensored systems basically are all legal, and then MOD is any motor you want, sensorless, or sensored.....

And for stock the motor everyone uses is novak because there the fastest stock motors...

I guess that the MMM is just a myth......something to wish for while we pass time.

here is one
the new sidewinder is only $144.00 at tower with a 5700 motor
and only $76.00 for the esc alone why is it cheeper???
what did they down grade???

I assure you the MMM is not a myth. Im on it awaiting more on the progress.

We all have been waiting............and waiting............and waiting
I hope it does come out soon

[snellemin]

less electronics, no wires that are soldered, translates in cheaper manufacturing.

[suicideneil]

I think they also mentioned a lower spec overall- it has about 70% the capability of the MM, so it wont go into MTs anymore. The MMM isnt a myth though, more of a rare species.... end of Feb is the due date; we will be waiting.

The sidewinder looks like a great 10th scale controller, and cheap too. If it can handle 4s it will be great. Maybe need to disable the bec, but the cc bec are only 20 bucks. I like using 4s on 10th scale 4wd, it really "wakes it up"

[captain harlock]

BTW, guys, ROAR has made the use of LIPO pack LEGAL. You heard me, right?

The sidewinder release foreshadows it, says Holmes.

What's that mean?

[jnev]

I think it means that because the Sidewinder is now out, the MMM should be coming out "soon".
