IMPBA Motor Rules Idea Number @#?*!
Hey everyone,
I had a thought this morning and wanted to throw it out there for thoughts.
But before I do, I want it to be known that I will not be participating in this thread beyond throwing out this initial starter on the idea. Furthermore, I’d like to suggest that everyone simply comment with an agree or disagree with maybe a small reason why or a brief addition to better the idea or process.
Please try and refrain from attempting to tell another person why they are wrong. IOW… let’s try to be civil and not turn this into another “dust up”.
We’re on the right path right out of the gate simply by me not being involved, right?
Here it is: Approved MOTOR LIST for IMPBA Spec Motor Classes.
1.) The list would start with the inclusion of all motors which are on the current NAMBA P-Limited Motor List and there would be a process to add motors to the list.
2.) There would be the creation of a “Technical Committee” that would do bench and on water testing/data logging to provide an opinion on a motor’s performance in comparison to those already on the list. This committee could be assembled by the BODs or maybe could be one individual from each district which would be elected/voted in by the club members.
3.) Each committee member would provide their own results/conclusions/opinions/recommendations to the BODs whom would make the final determination on if a particular motor would be added to the list. Some factors of approval would be ease of availability, price, and performance. I brief statement on reason for approval or disapproval with how each member of BODs voted would be made public.
4.) All IMPBA members would have the availability to submit a proposal for a motor to be reviewed by the committee for approval. The first immediate requirement in order to even be qualified for review would be the that the motor must have maximum dimensions of 37mm x 62mm.
5.) Once a motor is put on the list, it stays on the list. This way no one is ever forced to change over their fleet of motors.
And Go…. :zip-up:
