[rayzerdesigns]

and this coming from the guy who created the jet chopper 30 I believe..the wiring debacle on the 2030s...lol..come on man..its not a prius

Really guys, this all goes back to the intent of P-Limited. Is it a cost-controlled class for everyone, a class designed to bring in new racers with RTRs so they can compete on a level playing field, or is it simply a P-Lite class? Until NAMBA (or each club) decides what the intent is, there will be limited-edition hulls and higher-performing motors available to compete with off-the-shelf RTRs. (If an RTR like the Motley Crew was so fast, why design a different hull? Looks or performance? Both?)


I don't race in your events but my club runs three different P-Limited classes, so I am very interested in the intent of P-Limited....

Ray my Friend,

You of all people see firsthand how hard I work to promote electric racing in L.A. Not only to stimulate growth, but both to stem the drop-out rate AND attract new blood to fill in for those who have left (Prayers for Jesse & Stephen BTW). Last weekend only 2 out of three FE classes made the cut and the Nitro/FE race this coming weekend - well you know what's going on there. To attract fresh entries both from new-to-FE folks + the IC crossover ranks it needs to be as easy to get into as can be at least until we can readily populate the classes. Running (mildly-if anything) modified off-the-shelf rtr's would be the best way to attract. If a newbie "watcher" sees some "exotic" (sorry, the word's a little overboard-it's early) boat cleaning up there likely will be understandable hesitation to join the fray. Even you and Hilton with your mildly tweaked racers make me feel like "what's the use?" lol.

That's where I'm coming from. But I'm pretty sure you know that. Heck, I've always quietly encouraged one-design or "Iroc" classes but whatever

Oh and the JetChopper was Leo Ho's baby - I just did the promotion and record setting with mine + built several for customers.

As far as the "wiring debacle" with the 2030's : I got that rolling ONLY to rescue and re-use a tired motor with bad insulation, not to pump it up for faster race times.

Final Word : ( See You Soon)

How about paying for some baldspot implants & my WeightWatchers membership ?

Hey Everyone, the intent of this thread was to inform people of our races and inform everyone of changes in dates. I'm with FLUID though about the RTR class, don't drive the new boaters away. This thread is not a forum who can put the biggest motor in a small hull. Let keep it lite here.

[leonard feeback]

Tony, you always want more.

[properchopper]

Tony, you always want more.

Leonard and the SCSTA race committee : It was FUN FUN FUN Really kicked back and like a family picnic.

BTW I was wrenching during lunch so could you bring my sandwich to the annual get-together ? And at least a donut for catching the outboard before it went down......

Tony

[leonard feeback]

Tony, No sandwich I ate yours SORRY!!! Next time you will check the transom claps won't you. But thanks for saving the motor, I would have hated to see you swimming for hours to find it.
