It's Official- IMPBA D12 is racing FE's in 2010 !!!!

[Diegoboy]

While running a brushless motor, we typically remove the motor decal to install a water jacket correct? What's to stop someone from getting one of these Ammo 36-56-2600 and passing it off as a UL-1 spec motor 36-56-2030? Both are the same gold color, both are the exact same dimensions. How would one know? Shouldn't there be more validation for this?

Either it's already being done and it's a touchy subject, or it's an incredibly stupid question. I hope for the latter.

Guys, there is no douby we're bending over backwards to address all concerns brought up buy the nitro guys. But considering my son and I were the only FE's in the district last year and despite some nitro racers feeling like they're being squeezed out, we are getting 3 FE classes next year. I feel the district has been more than generous to us. As David said, we're breaking new ground and I think we need to do everything we can to prevent conflicts and animosity. There are still advantages FE's will have over the nitro boats. FE's don't come off pipe. FE's don't flood when they cross a roostertail. And from what I see FE's seem to have more punch off the starting line when the buzzer goes off. I consider this a transitional year and I have no idea what the future brings. But I'm feeling pretty confident. We already have four nitro racers who will be running tunnels this year and two that will be running hydro's.

Randy, I'll be interested in taking a look at the rules you come up with. And I'll let you guys know what problems we encounter as the year progresses.

Danny, Someone briefly brought up tech inspections at the district meeting and no one saw the need for it. These guys have been racing a long time and are great guys, but if they notice a boat noticably outperforming the others, they will not hesitate to jump on that drivers behind.

That's one good thing about "Limited" setups. If a guy is cheating a flag will be raised. You should be able to hear the difference between those two motors.
Danny is it too late to send that 36-56-2600 back??LOL

Once you guys get going this DNF thing should work itself out. IME the CDs at dist. races are pretty forgiving.
Concentrate on getting on the clock and holding your line.
Watch the heats you are not running in. Pay attention to the guy who gets on the clock and wins races. Get to know him, and ask him to be your pitman if he's not busy. A good pitman makes a BIG difference, and will make you a better racer.

Sorry for rambling, I just want ALL of you guys to do well.

I agree, the CD's know you spend alot of time, effort and money to come to their race and they want to let you run. Even if they take a little heat for it.

Yes it is. No worries though, I have special sound dampening mats inside my hull that are specifically designed to alter the frequency of any high rev motor to a much lower freq. It is said to match the sound of any lower rev motor with the proper fomula of density.

It's very simple really
= UL-1 motor sound

See??

Well done sir!!

That is hilarious!!! And coming from the one person who would never bend the rules as long as he's aware of them.

On a side note, I'm trying to get in touch with a buddy who received a SV27 motor as part of collective generosity to help him get on the water. With any luck, I'll be able to swap his motor out for a new one that's more appropriate for his setup and have a spec motor for the races.


So, no catamarans this year? Did I read that right? Oh well, I guess it will have to be exhibition only.

So Danny how does that work exactly?

Does it resonate at one of the lower frequency harmonics?

Awesome Ben! Do you already have an AC esc to use?

Danny...you crack me up!!

...Do you already have an AC esc to use?...

I have a PB one. Are we going to allow mix and match?

And BTW, the frequency oscillates with harmonics with inverted phase. As you can see from the picture, as the original sound wave crests and wanes, the out of phase signal negates the additional amplitude and as this phase is shifted, the original frequency harmonics are shift to resonate lower. Just read up on Pythagoras and his 'music of the spheres' as well as other theories. When a string is split in half, you get an octave, in thirds you get a perfect 5th, and so on and so forth. If you apply this reasoning as you adjust the phase, you can cause a different, lower harmonic to resonate more prominently than the primary since the primary is canceled out. You know I'm just kidding with ya, but it is true!!!

"I have a PB one. Are we going to allow mix and match?"


....Yes, you should be fine as long as it is a spec esc and spec motor...

I can't get my formula to work... Plan B

WTB:
UL-1 Motor decal. In good condition, you pay shipping please.

I have received my registration for ODMBA.

[Chilli]

Excellant.

I got your props today. Nice job as always. I'm going to send you a X440 next week if thats okay. It will be my "dont spank the nitro" detune special.

An X440 ... sounds to me like you are giving away the race?

I think you may have some cavitation problems.
