2014 Schedule for NAMBA Legg Lake SAW's

[kacordy]

Darin, I forgot to mention I live in Cottonwood, Just south of Redding. What size battery do I need to order for my Raptor for SAW? I only have 5000 packs. Will a Hyperion 4s, 4400, 45c work?

Thanks, Allen

P-Ltd, AQ2300KV?? Right??

4400 or 5000 would work great. If you don't have a battery loyalty to another brand, I would HIGHLY recommend you get in touch with Mark Ferreira at DinogyLipos.com (http://dinogylipos.com/4s-lipos/96-5000mah-4s-65c) and order a couple of his packs... They WORK!

I checked with him and he should have these in stock later this week. He'll be at the event as well.

What you don't want to do is to fool yourself into thinking you can get away with the smaller packs to save weight (3300, etc.)... For P-Ltd you want EVERY RPM you can get, and voltage compression (depression??) is a factor. Under load, the smaller packs pull down to a lower voltage than the larger packs, and this kills RPM... You should be good with a 4400-5000mAh pack. The 6000's Mark sells are great too, but are about 75g heavier, and probably more important for heat racing, where you need the extra capacity at the end.

Cookies?? OK, Now I'm starting to get a little jazzed...

Although I hope you won't need them, remember to bring a sack of nickels just in case

Darin, I appreciate the advice. I will try his packs also. I currently have a Thunder Power 4s 5000, 65c that I'm running in the Raptor. I actually have 2 that I bought new. Your right, I was thinking about and concerned about reducing some weight. I'm good to go!

Just based on what I've seen, you should be good. I think, for P-Ltd, you are probably OK down to 4000mAh... I tried 3300's, for example, in my N1 setups, and went slower than when I used 5000's... even with the lighter weight.

Darin, I run the AQ2030 and the hydra 120. I'm a little confused. In the NAMBA record book, P-limited is Bill at 53 mph, P-spec is Brian at 83 mph "wow". Is P-Limited the stock 60amp AQ ESC? P-spec an unlimited ESC but the AQ motor? I have both speedos so I can go either way if thats the case. I know, I know, a bunch of questions from the newbies, lol

The P-Ltd record of 53mph is to be removed. Any esc is valid in NAMBA for Ltd class.

The online records have a few mistakes with dual entries and some confusion as to the class names.

Your target is 83mph for P-Ltd Hydro...

Hey Guys... I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm going to have to cancel my trip to LA this time around. Due to some circumstances with the foreclosed house next door to us, which some people are now illegally occupying... people with some VERY shady pasts and have a history of some VERY bad "behavior", I don't feel comfortable leaving my family alone for 5 days, 1000-miles away. Level 3 Sex Offender, Rape, Assault, Cocaine dealing and possession, failure to register, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon... Yeah... that kind of "bad"...

The Sheriff told us that we are in no danger and that we should "go about business as usual"... The Deputy, however, had a bit of a different tone and said they are "doing what they are allowed to do by law", but that we should "do what you need to do to protect your family and possessions".

Until this gets resolved, I need to stay close to home.

I'll be even more ready for the next one, I guess...

Sorry to hear that Darin. At one time I had two consecutive sets of next door neighbors in the same house. The first group sold drugs and looted building sites on their off days. That bunch left in the middle of the night with all the appliances including the water heaters and as much copper pipe as they could pull out. The next family was into identity theft and worked with a Russian mob. The FBI hauled them out in cuffs..... I never felt good leaving town when those groups were around.

Hope to see you in November.

Darin, family comes first. I was looking forward to hanging out for the weekend. What is your thoughts on the upcoming Namba nationals in your region? Should Fred and I come up for a few days with some FE's ?

Absolutely! Lots of great people plus five good FE classes mixed in with lots of gas and nitro.
