Without drawing any conclusions, I'd like to (remind and) point out that within the context of these discussions that the NAMBA rules governing equipment specifications are ONLY mandatory for National level contests, be they Sprint, 2-Lap, or SAW. Most Club racing either [A] conforms exactly to the rulebook, or [B] has their own looser interpretation (which I know occurs in L.A. Sprint Ovals) and I theenk in Randy's backyard - not that I have any problem with that for now. Here in L.A. we're lucky that some new blood from the IC ranks are getting into Ltd. racing but seem to be unschooled in NAMBA Ltd. restrictions which, for now, aren't being monitored.** I know as of late that some HV packs are showing up at Club Sprint events(whether they're being upcharged or not hasn't been looked at yet) and I confess that some of my spare "spec" motors have been resuscitated with the dreaded motor wire shrink wrap retro-fix to keep them useable. Before putting me in front of the firing squad for such a dastardly crime know that, like a good little boy I actually (after being advised to do so by the NAMBA Police
) filed 1/16" off the tips of my Cheetah before the last 2-Lap National Points event.
While it seems that limiting motor choice to one or two units would simplify and make monitoring easier the supply logistics are likely to be inconsistent enough to make this impractical.
P-Ltd as it exists now, be it NAMBA RULE PURE, or Club Interpretation Mod is helping racing at large. And YES I'm all for one-design racing AS WELL
** Also note that a newbie that wants to get into P-Ltd Cat (the MOST popular class fairly universally) and chooses the quite promising PB BJ 29, he will have a motor NOT (unless I'm missing something - happens a lot
) that isn't (2000KV) on the NAMBA approved list. What to do ??
