... and... at least by my reading of the rules, P-OPC and "T-OPC" (open) can run "Any amount and/or size
of motors" (That's copy and pasted directly from the rulebook)...
So... are we going to see that TWIN P-OPC when you are here??

And it is not just twin motors allowed but any number of motors. One racer showed up with a 4 motor conquest. He did have to use only 2P maximum though under our rules.

Actually, the rules don't say that... We don't have paralleling limits any longer.
What they say is that you are allowed a maximum amount of mAh... 10,000 for P and Q, I think 12,000 for S and T... You have to distribute that across the motors how ever you please.
For example, with two motors in P, you can either power both together by a single ESC and 10,000 mah@14.8V, or by 2 ESCs with 5000 mAh each @14.8V.
I need to go back and read, but there might be something in there about how one can divide up Voltage across the motors as well, but I don't recall exactly.
Bottom line would be that you can't have more than the maximum amount of allowable mAh on board when running the maximum class voltage.

The guy with the 4 engine cat had 4 - 6s 2500 packs. One for each motor. Having such small packs really hurt any chance of getting any records. I ended up beating him with my mono.

it was actually worse than that , I had 4s series into 2s x2 . They were 5000mah Turnigy 40c , instead of making a battery splitter I just took the esc's and paralleled them by soldering there battery wires together . If I only had the new thunder power batts I would have had a chance

I new somehow you only had 2500 mah going to each motor. I would have liked to see that boat run on 4 5000 packs. 1 to each motor.

I tried. I ruined 3 of my packs that day.

impressive speeds gents, congrats to all participants.
