    I was hoping to get some more Michigan guys interested in this one. It will be a tough sell with only one limited class.

      Ooooops! I'm still a little FE Class "challenged" at times.

      P Limited Sport Hydro, P Limited Catamaran, P Limited Mono all added, I see P Catamaran isn't that popular so I dropped it.

      P Limited rules will run as per the NAMBA Rulebook, namely:

      d. P-Limited Approved Motors
      i) The motors shall be used as shipped from the manufacturer, with the
      exception of creating a drive shaft flat spot, adding water cooling, and
      allowing the motor to be connected to the ESC by any means.
      ii) Currently approved motors
      Brand Model Description
      AquaCraft AQUG7000 L36/56 7.2-18V – 6 pole brushless
      AQUG7001 36-56-2030 – 6 pole brushless
      AQUG7002 36-56-1800 – 6 pole brushless
      Himax HB3630 1500 brushless – 6 pole brushless
      ProBoat PRB3310 A3630-1500 – 6 pole brushless
      PRB4017 A3630-1800 – 6 pole brushless
      DYNM3835 A3630-1500kv – 6 pole brushless,
      water cooled, marine motor
      DYNM3830 A3630-1800kv – 6 pole brushless,
      water cooled, marine motor
      iii) In addition, the CD has the discretion to allow the following:
      (a) An aftermarket motor that is a re-labeled and exact copy of any
      approved motor.
      (b) Any generational change of an approved motor, or a motor that
      is used in a Ready To Run (RTR) offering from a manufacturer
      that produces over 100 units of said offering, as long as there is
      no more than a 5% increase in any of the following
      manufacturers specifications as compared to any single
      approved motor: Kv, maximum constant amperage rating,
      mass, and MSRP.
      (c) The race flyer shall list additional allowed motors for the event


      Sell away!

                    Question for our contest director.

                    There are a number of us that are considering bringing our FE scales out for some fun but at least two of them don't quite fit the FE scale unlimited rules for IMPBA. We just got done dancing with them at the Cup. If we contact each other and are at piece with the short comings can we still run them? Sure was fun despite them not really being exact.

                      Not sure exactly what the ruling would be on that, at first glance I would say if everyone that ran the class agreed to allow (not protest) the questionable boats I'd say why not. I do however know that under an IMPBA sanction any changes to the rules must be advertised on the flyer, and since the flyer has been published for months we can't really do that.

                      What exactly are the "shortcomings"?

                          Just had a chat with jaike5 and between the two of us we came up with a solution.

                          "T Sport hydro" is now added, you can enter them all in there w/o having to conform to the IMPBA "Scale FE Unlimited Hydro" rules.

                              That works for us and takes you guys off the hook.
