Have the 3s mini rules changed in the past few months?There's no kv limit listed or battery specs and it says "and other boats".I'm just curious, I already have plenty of batteries for my Mini Mono, but if my Super Mono X is legal then id rather use it.I've had it alot longer and I'm just more comfortable trying to predict its path, I couldn't run it more then 3/4 throttle in a pool anyway, I just like how it steers.

Looks like fun!

Captain,

Again, the aim is to have boats that are all comparable, this is what creates the fun, we had some members with "small boats" that were comparable to Mini mono's and GP1's etc, so instead we just changed up the description to accommodate the members. Our club keeps focus on fun, as you will learn when you attend, club rules get changed to suit peoples equipment, and trend changes. Generally we have a meeting after each event to discuss rule changes, make requests, and share ideas. Today's rules are a result of the people and participation.

Don't get too hung up in the details, as you attend you'll very quickly learn all you need to. Its a friendly atmosphere, its not die-hard by any means.

Thanks for explaining that again, I understand alot better now.Since Aquacrafts are the usual examples I was just thinking the goal was to limit it to them only in some classes.I'll just load up a selection of boats then choose what I'm the most comfortable with when I get there.

Another question about the mini class. I have a 20" boat that has a 2700 kv motor that went bad. I need to replace it to a acceptable motor to run with the mini mono class. This boat is about 4" longer should I find something closer to the 2000 kv that the mini Monos have.

I guess at 2700 kv is a little slower on 2 cell than 2000 kv on 3 cell so I'm guessing if boats are fairly close in speed is what your after. I'm trying not to overthink this but want to have boats that fit in and have some fun

We like the stock equipment as it keeps things simple and everyone has a chance. It also promotes the dark art of setting up and tuning. Yes keeping them close is the aim of the game, as you point out a 2S set up on 2700kv will be 19980RPM and a stock mini is 2200kv giving 24420RPM, of course there are many other factors at play.

I'd come with what you have first. Then if you are bitten by the bug, gear up for the next pool events or outdoor season.

My first event, I had nothing at all and was pacing the pool like an excited school girl.

Did you try running the tunnels on 2 cell

I have not tried that - but there might be someone who has. I've only ever seen mono's used in the pool.
