Can we send you a car to run?

[Nic Case]

I'm flattered.
What do you have? What's in it?

But if you have a car or truck to send (and you cant get there yourself)
I'm sure we can find a qualified individual to run it....LOL

I forgot to mention -- anyone that makes a pass over 100 mph will receive a 100 mph club hat !


Cheers

Well I'm planning over 150mph, do I get a special hat too?

Glad to see you here Nic, and good luck at the event. Lets see some outrageous numbers again!

If you make 150 , you get 1.5 hats.


Electric stock (2wd and 4wd) rule is pretty clear (I think) with a single 2S pack , but for electric mod can the pack be made with 4S of 2P cells?

The voltage max seems clear that it is intended to guard against overcharge, but there is a rule that is stating max of "4 cells" , my proposed set-up is technically 8 cells.

^^^ I guess you'll have to run in the "Electric Open" class. IMO putting two packs in series OR parallel makes them 1 pack. So putting two 4s packs in series (although separate packs) would count as an 8s pack.

[hoober]

That's not quite what I meant. Here's:

2 small 2200 mah cells soldered permanently together in parallel to make one 4400 cell.

Make a 4S pack out of these 2P 4400 cells, technically there are 8 cell , but still falls within the max votage and max series rule. Really no difference in performance than a pair of 4S packs in parallel.

[What's_nitro?]

Oh, you meant 8 cells as in the "number of cells in the car". Not necessarily "the number of cells in the battery" (?). Should be fine then.

Not sure I can so slow and fast this year - I'll see when I get back but was thinking about a super mod CRT.5...

I'll see if mikes interested in helping...

[What's_nitro?]
