bologna 09-14-2006, 08:11 PM just trying to get an idea of people and classes for next season bologna 09-14-2006, 08:13 PM i ask do to the cost of the brushless setups and want to know how many or planing on running the new class TBRC1 09-14-2006, 08:21 PM I put in for pan stock BUT if brushless becomes a real class what can I say but HHHHHHHMMMMMMM losi888 09-14-2006, 09:02 PM The brushless is going to be faster then stock and I am looking foward to going a little faster. I know me and Andrew will be running it. It will be fun working on setup. Joe DiGirolamo losi888 09-14-2006, 09:06 PM Brock I think this is a good thread. Nice Job. Joe D. bologna 09-14-2006, 09:09 PM thanks joe see you soon Mr.fastman 09-14-2006, 10:27 PM Don't know yet, depends on which brushless motor. BEACH 09-14-2006, 10:41 PM Hummmmm? erock1331 09-14-2006, 11:04 PM doug maybe trinity will come out with a birds brushless handout motor. u r good with those handouts, lol Alan Behler 09-14-2006, 11:04 PM Brock I think this is a good thread. Nice Job. Joe D. your welcome brock :wave: JustMe 09-15-2006, 06:43 AM it think the big thing about brushless is whether it will stick around or not. the first week of truck the crowd was huge and now its down to about 12-15 drivers. i cant wait to run brushless and i hope it sticks around. Andrew D Porksalot4L 09-15-2006, 06:59 AM if brushless is truely easier to work with then ill run it. i hate working on motors BigMike84 09-15-2006, 07:54 AM i've never ran the orl before but if there is gonna be a brushless class i might consider it next year. microman14 09-15-2006, 09:11 AM im with pork if the motors are not a pain im for it but if the big guys are going to replace $80 motors every race then i think im stick to my trusty brush motors PUF19 09-15-2006, 09:27 AM all you guys thinking about brushless, say good by to the motor sponsors... and the lazy people will JUST get MORE lazy..... Rember real men use BRUSHES!!! jbm38 09-15-2006, 03:26 PM PUF, I said the same thing 2 years ago but I see in some TC races brushed motors are still beating brushless set-ups. And with two classes still with brushes it should be fine. You may see more guys run 2 classes with brushless offered. MIKE VALENTINE 09-15-2006, 03:39 PM What ever happened to 19 turn in ORL. Alan Behler 09-15-2006, 06:34 PM What ever happened to 19 turn in ORL. mike, there was never any clean racing in 19turn Mr.fastman 09-15-2006, 07:09 PM doug maybe trinity will come out with a birds brushless handout motor. u r good with those handouts, lol I love those handouts, do you think it will have a purple endbell? Doug jbm38 09-18-2006, 05:20 AM Has the board discussed what the motor of choice will be for the '07 season any further going in the final races for '06? jmcminn 09-18-2006, 07:17 AM I'll be running the Brushless, and maybe the brush motor time to time. Alan Behler 09-18-2006, 07:21 AM Has the board discussed what the motor of choice will be for the '07 season any further going in the final races for '06? they were thinking of running the 4300 jbm38 09-18-2006, 08:50 AM 4300 would be nice, more like 19t, and brushed stock I plan on running both as of now. Gotta try for a least 7 races next season ;) microman14 09-18-2006, 09:40 AM hint: the new novak ss13.5 from novak is rated to be the same as 27turn stock racing signman501 09-18-2006, 12:57 PM Can I ask where or what ORL is? And if it is a league where do you race? Al Spina Fan 09-18-2006, 01:27 PM I love those handouts, do you think it will have a purple endbell? Doug Doug, why not try the new 1 brush class. It's a hybrid and you can pick if you want the brush in the + or - slot. lol, Frankfurt Germany is very nice. I'll be back in 2008. jbm38 09-18-2006, 02:12 PM Frankfurt is awesome got to spend a bit of time there last trip, enjoy it. See ya' in '08 maybe ;) mcRacing 09-18-2006, 02:23 PM as for your ?? signman well The Outlaw Racing League is a traveling R/C car racing point series that consists of several races held on different tracks once a month through-out the eastern PA, NJ,DE area with each race introducing new challenges for the racers. JustMe 09-18-2006, 05:09 PM its good to see people talking more and more brushless. it should make for even closer racing than it already is. BILL80 09-18-2006, 06:00 PM Check out the ORL at: www.OUTLAWRACINGLEAGUE.com (http://www.outlawracingleague.com/) Right now we are debating on the motor we will be allowing to be used for the 2007 Brushless class. Either the Novak 4300 or the new Novak 13.5 motor. http://outlawracingleague.com/ORLBrushlessLogo.jpg The 13.5 performs like a well prepared brushed stock motor while the 4300 performs a little more than halfway between a stock a good 19t motor. We looked at the results of a few big races that had a stock class, a 19t class and a 4300 brushless class. Basically on average, for example, the stock class would do about 40-41 laps, the 19t class was doing 46 to 47 while the 4300 would do 44-45 laps. The 4300 was giving a nice increase in speed compared to the stock class but not quite the big difference the 19t class can get. Currently we are leaning towards the 4300. Looking around the country, that seems to be the most popular brushless class. We want to make the final decision this week so please give me your thoughts on the matter. I know there are pros and cons. One nice thing about using the 13.5 is that all the classes would be the same relative speed which makes practice go a whole hell of a lot smoother. It used to suck practicing with a stock car while 1 or 2 19t guys would be on the track. I'm sure it sucked for them too. Plus the 13.5 is easier to drive and tends to make for much better and competitive racing. Your racing each other rather than just darting from corner to corner. But, this is another debate I could go on and on about. Ok, on your mark..... get set...... GO. Let's have it. Thanks, Bill gordie 09-18-2006, 06:13 PM Bill, Another stock class I feel is not needed. Using the 4300 novak brushless motor might move some of the so called big guns out of stock and into the faster brushless class. My vote is for the 4300 Novak motor. :thumbsup: losi888 09-18-2006, 06:33 PM I think the 4300 would be better. It would be better not having 3 classes going the same speed. Joe D. Mr.fastman 09-18-2006, 06:43 PM 4300!!!!!!!!!!!! jbm38 09-19-2006, 02:01 AM If going with the 4300 it maybe in the series and racers interest to suggest controlled practice at each event. Should the 13.5 be decided upon with the extra runtime these newer cells have, so I've read anyway, goto 5min heats and mains for it. JOHN B 09-19-2006, 09:18 AM all this talk about brushless is driving me crazy!!!!!!!! how about if i just take the brushes out of my stock motor?????? lol rookie 9 09-19-2006, 05:34 PM i think that we need a busch class so that all the new drivers can start some where instead of against all the big guns that way maybe we could grow the orl instead another class so the fast guys can eat us up if not i will be forced into going into other things my vote would be 13.5 full body no cut outs rear .75 spoiler me spec tires other wise you will have three pro classes no room to expand microman14 09-19-2006, 06:15 PM well if they run the 4300 then all the speed freaks will go there and will leave the brushclass to mostly rookies. So i SAY GO 4300 Greg H 09-19-2006, 08:59 PM 19t and open mod classes were offered in previous years. The problem is that there are too many expert level racers around here who choose to run only stock. This left the faster classes too thin, so all the fast guys eventually gravitated to stock. I don't think brushless will change that. A 4300 class will likely go the same way as 19t, a lot of interest for the first few races and then they'll all be running stock again. So, the decision is whether to introduce brushless as an entry level class or a pro class. I think the idea was to attract more new racers by creating a sportsmen level class with fewer variables and lower cost. Will all the pro drivers end up in this class? Based on past experience, YES! I'm not sure you can stop this without banning the more experienced racers from those classes. bologna 09-19-2006, 10:17 PM BRL Rules Package (Part 1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Racers, Sorry I’m running behind on finishing the entire BRL rules package.

You could eat a ton of tire every run, that gets expensive. Mod motors do cost more, and racers look at that area also. I do believe with any form of racing, its expensive! I dont think there is going to be a good way to make entry level, mid level and a pro level. Any way you look at it, its a very tough road, and a solution is going to be difficult to find! What if you looked at the past years points in stock? Take so many as a cutoff and determine that those chosen few have to move on towards a diffrent route, what ever that may be?

Take so many as a cutoff and determine that those chosen few have to move on towards a diffrent route, what ever that may be? Beach how can you tell someone what they can and cant run. 1 of the main reasons i like stock is they race it on a regular bassis just about everywhere. i do plan on running brushless but i do plan on running stock also. bring on the 4300's alan behler rip motorsports jbr cells orc finishline Bill Auchterlonie 09-20-2006, 01:12 PM Here's what I like about stock racing. Its the first and pretty much only class I have run since I have been racing (roughly 13 years). I liked the speed then and now 13 years later the four cell stock cars are as fast if not faster than 13 years ago. Back then there was no shame in running stock and it was at least at my home track the biggest class week in and week out. I am happy with the speed or I would have went to 19 turn or mod. I dont run the class to cherry pick but because of the close racing and minimal carnage in the mains. Hove many 19 turn and mod mains can that be said about. Remember Ontrax this year at the state race. Faster is not always better in some cases. Stock is simpler to set-up, drive, and correct if you get into trouble on the track. I know there is interest in brushless but which brushless to run is hard to say in my opinion when I have never seen either of the two 13.5 or 4300 on the track. I would like to think we wont make a the decision to quickly and then say its to late to change seeing as the first race is almost five months away.

It was just a suggestion!! Sorta like a breakout class! sc2002gtp 09-20-2006, 08:24 PM What about the problem with stators exploding and cutting the thermal wire to get that little extra? Brussless could get just as costly IMO. microman14 09-20-2006, 10:33 PM I think we are planning a little to far in the future. I know guys wanna know and all but with all these new systems coming up and systems in the testing stages i think it is going to be to hard to pick right know. Cause what if tekin comes out with the prefect setup then we all bought the 13.5 or the 4300 and there no good. Also i think maybe some of the top guys like bill A and John b and Al s. etc should maybe try to find one of these 4300 units and actually try it and run it to see.since so far all we have went by are lap times at other events. Sonny B 09-20-2006, 10:59 PM What about the problem with stators exploding and cutting the thermal wire to get that little extra? Brussless could get just as costly IMO. Great to see you guys thinking about brushless. I know you have some great racers in your part of the country. Let me try to help answer some questions for you. Some drivers in the Midwest have been running the Novak 4300's for almost 3 years. (For the record I started last season) I’ve not seen or heard of any rotor failures in a pan car. Some of the Mod touring car guys (cars with very high load) have had issues but for the most part they have been low winds and non Novak systems. Bob probably won’t like me saying this but as far as the blue temp wire yes it is common to remove or cut this wire when using on a Novak ESC. Warning This will void your motor warranty. The Novak motor temp sensor is set much lower the LRP version. (About 175 degrees on the Novak and over 200 on the LRP) The main reason for the temp sensor is so that the back yard bashers do not over temp the motor for an extended period of time (10 - 15 minutes). In a 4 or 5 minute race unless you have something extremely over geared or bound up in the drive line the motor will most likely not exceed the temp limit until the last 30 seconds of the race. Having said that more temperature does not mean more speed. Most of the fast guys last season figured out a well set up car will see post race motor temp between 145 to 160 degrees produced the best results. (ESC temps would be in the 100 degree range) The same rollout on a car that was not working as well would see temp in the 185 range at the end of a run. If you were to repeatedly and for extended duration exceed 180 degrees with the standard rotor the magnet will weaken over time. Inserting a new rotor for about $28 will make it good as new. Here are a few facts to consider: *The motor and rotor that one the Midwest Brushless Oval Challenge last year had about 15 race days on it or almost 8 hrs of run time. *Two of the car in the MBOC A-main had motors that were over 2 years old. *Out of 96 racers all running the same Novak 4300 motor no one ever complained or commented about someone having a faster motor. To give you a speed comparison a good 4300 car is about .05 of second slower then a good 19T car. We don’t yet have a full picture on the 13.5 motors but most have said the feel like a well tuned stock motor and early testing has seen them run about .4 to .5 slower then a 4300 car. As for rollout suggestion on carpet this is what worked for me last season with a 4300. 130' track (Allen’s R/C in Springfield, IL) between 2.40 - 2.50 190' track ( Hobbytown Hobbyplex Omaha, NE) between 2.75 and 2.85 If you have any questions or concerns post them or send me an e-mail at sbrown15@insightbb.com jbm38 09-21-2006, 06:36 AM Mr. Henning, Am I taking the 2007 SPEED Tour as a hint to the format for next season?:dude: Truck= 27t stk motors Brushless= NOVAK 13.5 PRO CUP= 27t Stk motors See ya' JB jmcminn 09-21-2006, 07:25 AM Thanks Sonny Great info. Mike Mandio 09-21-2006, 08:56 AM I think we are planning a little to far in the future. I know guys wanna know and all but with all these new systems coming up and systems in the testing stages i think it is going to be to hard to pick right know. Cause what if tekin comes out with the prefect setup then we all bought the 13.5 or the 4300 and there no good. Also i think maybe some of the top guys like bill A and John b and Al s. etc should maybe try to find one of these 4300 units and actually try it and run it to see.since so far all we have went by are lap times at other events.
