    Default New requirement for D12 Fast Electrics

    Due to numerous complaints of Fast Electrics being too quite at district races. The District 12 director has mandated the use of a device that will replicate the sound of internal combustion engines during a heat. I was tasked by Don to develop the technology and after a brutal 15 minute R & D process came up with what I now call "The Finch Device". The Finch device will be required at all future D12 races.

    I don't think that card will last a full heat.

    Too funny Mike!!
    I think you're right Andy but it's a good first attempt, and it sure beats making engine sounds during the mill.

    Perhaps if this continues to be a problem we could rely on you to provide us with a 90db sound card that could be tied into the ESC. I guess we'd need them to idle somewhere around 35 to 40db???

    Hey I am all onboard for this. But unfortunately I used all my cards up building my JAE21 rigger (Spacers/sanding/sanding/and more sanding). Hey how about Taro cards then you can get a little insight into your heat.
