    New thread on professional classes

    T class 10S or 37V, considering that the IMPBA has unlimited LiPoly rules. 500 amp controller that is just around the corner and you have 18,500 watts. 24.79 HP

    As if that weren’t bad enough...In my district you now have to put up with nitro and gas boats all in the same heats. Is basic intelligents a requirement for creating rules in this organization or what?
    Ok so my initial post was harsh. Sorry if I offended any elected officials or clubs. But comon. Keep types of power sources in there own classes. If you are going to merge types let it be @ the driver’s discretion. Don’t tell a guy he has to run against gas and nitro...or go home....

        Do you think sooner or later Insurance companies are goign to put limits on what they cover? Can you imagine a boat like that getting loose and comming ashore even at half speed.

          There is always going to be a wide open, cost no object class in any racing,whether it be because you have a sponsors or a fat wallet.This does not mean we all must be loaded to go racing, there are so many classes out there for people on a budget. Get off your ass and go to a race. support the FE classes you would like to stay around, when you can. IMO

            also, if a person wants to run nitro rtr stuff thats fine too, more people on the pond,IMO. A stock shockwave will chew up a stock super vee on 12.

              I think so. Other than 25 (at last count) I.M.P.B.A. SAWS racers who put limits on themselves, the sky is the limit.
              It will be interesting to see what happens this year, and if there are any rule change proposals for 08.
              It's dangerous even with the speeds of P and Q boats now. I don't even want to think about a T boat coming unglued.

              This thread is probably going to go down hill very quickly. I'll be watching from over in the corner.
              Good luck!!

                They need size and weight limits or something. I am betting from by combat robot days that you can run brushed motors and I know that there are 1200map controllers out there now. Even if you can't you can parallel two 250amp controllers. Not that anyone will but it's just crazy. Look for changes in 2008 like Doug said.

                    If your on this forum, it's not likely you'll be running a competative T-class boat anytime soon.

                    Can you explain your exact meaning of this comment? :D

                    Is this the low class, non professional forum? :p

                    Why break a LSO record that will no longer be a class in 2008 :rolleyes:

                          They are talking about LiPoly and brushless for LSO in the future.

                          What is your record, how fast?

                            I think he is saying that your slow Doug.....Does the IMPBA have this LSO record? If not, I doubt we will be headed for CA anytime soon.

                              One other point, I saw where Kelly Brooks is listed as a member of this forum as well. I guess Kelly is also slow.
