2016 FE Nats - update ? ? ?

[Doby]

Ambient temp was about 100f and motors go pop from overheating. I'm sure water temp was quite high too.

In the north we can get away with certain setups but in those temps, a 442 might cause issues on a gold 2030.

Not this summer!

Every race needs a "run what ya brung" class. No-one turned away.

Water temps aren't the only thing.. Water temps here at nats are right around 68-70.. But I can't run the props I run in 110 degree heat in az

Clubs can do that all they want. This is a National Championship race week. NAMBA classes. Not really the venue for "Show up with your RTR and try it out. "

Would be entertaining though...kinda like a exhibition class...give all the seasoned racers a heat to catch their breath!

I have had my UL1 motor in my "P" Spec Sport Hydro for 3 years with NO problems.
My "P" Spec Mono (DYMN3835) that I also run in "P" Spec Offshore had the same motor in it that I ran at the MI. Cup, at the
CAN AM (IMPBA) race here in Canada we ran 4 rounds, going into the 4th. round I was in 1st. place in both classes.
In the first heat of the 4th. round, I picket up fishing line around my prop shaft and burned up my motor, seeing that I only had one heat in-between Offshore and Mono I did not have time to change the motor and had to scratch in the Mono class.
I ended up second in both classes when I had a good chance at getting two more 1st. places.

So even when you know that your setups are good to go things happen.

THE MOTOT IS THE FUSE

Results were posted every day on the event website, which has been posted many times over the past year.

There is a link on the NAMBA site. Video and pictures were posted almost every night on Puget Sound Fast Electrics facebook page. I had to work Thursday, and no one took video that day. I had to stay at the event site lastnight and tear down the mile of fencing and driver/official stand, pack 2 boats, a gator and all the other gear a day early and only a few people stayed and helped. Shout out to them! I will start uploading video from the final day, all scale boats, shortly.

Thank You

What happened to Sat. race results of 1/10th/ 1/8th scale classes? Don't they matter?

[covedweller]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, due to a slight difficulty, we had to break the site down a day early. The same folks that do the results and video were at the site 14 hrs yesterday. There may be a slight delay in posting, but the results and pictures are going up as fast as we can get to it. We had a few people doing a big event and are doing the best we can. Leonard, if you need faster results, I suggest you attend the next event for instant gratification.

What happened to Sat. race results of 1/10th/ 1/8th scale classes? Don't they matter?

David Newton took both 1/10 scale classes with his usual strategic driving. Rob Bracket Took 1/8 scale with a stunning 1:18.xx heat time.

Got home at midnight last night. Leaving in the morning for a week in SoCal. I'll let others fill in the details. It was a fantastic event from start to finish.
