thats true rick god only nows what people do to the brushed motors..... none of those thing are legal half the time...... no body checks ever?? except at maximus..... at lest the brushless motors are what they are........
This statment could not be more false. We check EVERY car after EVERY race. The car drives over to tech where Joe Martin takes it off the track, checks weight, roof height, and motor, i.e. if the motor has a 27t tag and if anything if out of the ordinary. If a cars motor is looks like its to fast during the race, like when Brad ran a fast lap of 3.49 sec, the the whole car is brought into the back room and the owner removes the motor from the car. Rick looks at the arm, can, and hood.
This teardown has been done many times, sadly 1 driver was caught, but beleave me if anyone beats Rick Martin he wants to catch someone cheating ESPECALLY Kenny or Me.
We don't check the timing of a motor. The reason is it doesn't matter the much. Yes it will give you a little more power but it wont make a car the gain a lap.
We tech cars because we want everyone to have an equal shot, NO unfair advanges.

Ok enough of that. The 17.5 can run with brushed motors for now. When the season starts then we will have a another class or as soon as 3 or more people show up.

See less See more
Isn't it funny how the guy's that are a few lapps off the pace are the ones cought with cheater motors and NOT the real fast guy's ? wonder why maybe it is because they spend less time complaneing and MORE time on their CHASSIS just stopped in to put in my two cents May be back when the weather gets too cold to fly planes( way less cry baby's and much more relaxing) See ya all soon
Bud :thumbsup:
Wow a Bud sighting.. I couldnt agree with you more Bud.. ITS CHASSIS CHASSIS CHASSIS.. I will say it til im blue in the face( no scud I wont do that so you can see me suffocate..lol)..

holy crap..a Bud Sighting.....Thought he sold his stuff and joined a cult.....Bud are you still a deckhand on "Docs" sailboat.....good to hear you will be coming back.....
you gonna do the SOS?.........
Tech is better at Ricks on a weekly basis than some tracks do at a trophy race!

Every car , every round, you cant get much better than that. That being said I am interested in coming down to run my S/K car in 17.5 brushless Thursday.
It will be a good test to see how they stack up. You guys need to let me know early so I can plan, I'll start in back or whatever, just want to run.
The Last Time I Was On Here You Guys Were Discussing Motors Nothing Ever Changes Chassis Chassis Chassis When You Learn
No I have not been Doc's Deck Hand he is TOO slow (stinking BLOW Boats) I have been busy at work and on Sunday's I've been Flying my planes.Not sure yet if I am going to run pan car this year I may just run the SK's.I am going to sell a couple of my back up cars I got TOO MANY CARS LOL.need to free up some hobby money for brushless?

Thanks Scud I may just take you up on that offer...
Busy day tomorrow, working up at N.H border, no promises, will depend on how early I get done,tough to make it down during the week if I dont finish early, I'll try my best.
hmm maybe we can make a Bob Pedone clone so he can go do you job for you on thursdays so you can race.... We will have to get on that...lol Hopefully you finish early.. Its more fun when there is alot of peope there kicking my [email protected]@ :thumbsup:
Work, a necessary evil, a little easier in the summer for me to have down time, starting this week its full blast work until June. After SOS you guys should schedule another Saturday show, I like the track just tough for me to get there.
Hello guys,

Hope some of you can make the SOS this weekend.

Heath
