NAMBA P-Ltd Motor discussion

Darin, Doug offered you a free motor to test. When the head ostrich at namba told you all to stick your heads in the sand you listened. Now instead of a season of racing from the larger fe clubs, your own comparison data along with eagle tree and castle data to discuss as a starting point, we have the water was to cold your data is invalid. Nice try to blame Doug for anything.

Just to be factual... I contacted Doug in regards to bench testing one of these motors. I've never seen a motor.


As for the rest of your post, I'm letting it go. It's nonsense and not productive to even address...

We really need to start thinking about what we're going to do with this motor situation.

Agreed...

Maybe we need to eliminate the RTR.

Perhaps that's run it's course as well. Pro Boat is out of the equation now for motor supply based on the current rules... the 2050 KV is out of the rules for length, and the rest of the line has gone to 40mm motors...

Not sure about AQ... it's been pretty quiet over there too.

With the markets the way they are, RC Boat racing is simply TOO small a segment of the Boating portion of the RC Hobby, and a miniscule portion of the overall RC Hobby, to focus directly on. For the past 6 years I've tried to get that focus out of Pro Boat and it was there for awhile, but the marketers have spoken.

And, let's face it... the IM31 or BJ29 are WAY more fun and a bigger benefit to the RC Boating segment as a whole with a bigger, more capable power system. Good on Rafael for making that happen.

I think that racing needs to adapt to the market, not the other way around.

And, we need to eliminate the word "nominal" from the battery section.

I'm not sure about this part, but the actual class voltages were just recently changed. "Nominal" values are not used... actual values are...

Of topic, and the other end of the scale !

Howard what was the wind on the 3080 you cooked ? I run 3060 in my mono 7T, and cat 3080 5T no issues ! Canadian water all the time.

Cheers, Jay.
