Questions to dmsanchez@cox.net (dmsanchez@cox.net)

Dawn,

Great to see ROAR getting into the Lipo/Brushless demo.

I saw where it said "MUST MEET WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS"

I would encourage a NEW weight rule for any separate LIPO class, since they are close to 1/3rd the weight of a Nimh battery...if they are run in their own class...no reason to make them heavy as bricks...besides...a LIPO TRUCK over a jump should FLY if it had wings...LOL

yea, but for this demonstration - we are wanting ROAR Legal trucks... :)

Cool, and I'm excited to read about how it goes...especially the long mains.

My only point was, since it is a DEMO class and they would therefore be a NEW class - The "ROAR" legal rules would be what ever weight you decided to tag onto that particular vehicle, and if they were designed from the get-go with the lightness of the LIPO built in...racers wouldn't have to add 30 oz or whatever amound of LEAD they will need to put on the car/truck. (Do buggies and trucks have the same weight? ...I haven't raced offroad in years, so I don't remember)
