(Moved)Another P Limited / Spec motor discussion

[TRUCKPULL]

To all that only want size limits and NO weight limit,
Read Marks post above about the 1415 Neu Motors - They meet the size limits-- NOW WHAT DO YOU DO- how many years would it take to make another change to the rule set? by that time all Spec classes would be dead.

Weight limits are NO big deal if you do some research on what things weigh first, Or ask nice a I bet Mike would post a copy on here.

Mike Ball has been building a list of all the motor weights.
Plug weights with solder.
Cooler can weights.

With a motor weight MAX set for the IMPBA Nat's

The custom made NEU motors are OUT.
Basically all that will need to be done is look at the motor - OK it is a UL-1- 2030 - 2Y
You know it is under the size limit and the weight limit.--GOOD to GO

Now if you see a motor that is stuffed with copper (Could be the same 2030 custom wound) - you can weigh it.

With the above list you subtract the cooler, plug and solder weight. to see if the motor is legal.

I will bet that less then 3% of motors will ever be taken out of a boat at the Nat.s
