A submission has been put to AARCMCC in regards to adopting Brushless motors.
Postal votes should go out to affiliated this week ending.
The vote should take place at the AGM.
The meeting place is still to be advised.

of course it wont affect this years meeting, but these proposals are meant to be put out to the affiliated clubs well in advance of the meeting, so that there can be proper discussion at club level, an educated vote can be made at the meeting, and the change if voted in will be, legal the day after the meeting.

point taken, but most clubs will probably have had discussions already on brushless motors (if like us there will be a few running and incorporated in local rules anyway)
Does anyone know how many ARCMACCA's affiliated electric onroad clubs there are in Aus. As far as i know there are only 2 NSW clubs affiliated, IMCC and SORMCC, and i dont think there are any vic affiliated clubs, as far as i know there is only 1 QLD club.
So out of the 4 clubs above all 4 allow brushless already in their own rules.
Please can some one provide a complete listing of affiliated clubs?

northside were ... and i think there was a list on the aarcmcc web site...???
as for our rules - we drop them in with mod, but only run mod if there are enough numbers for the class anyway... next year we have been considering a limited mod class (10-12t) v's unlimited mod and it will include brushless motors regardless - remember these are only local rules

BK: do you think the weight rule should be held over?
i doubt you think that those with personal transponders should be handed a weight advantage? i agree with your sentiments that 3weeks before the race its anounced is a bit late

BK: do you think the weight rule should be held over? YES as a matter of principle.
The votes are scaled to provide an equal number of votes per State/Territory.
Whilst I'm not saying that this is necessarily the case; I think it is worth remembering that what clubs allow at club level meetings may not be what they would want at a State or National level.
Our club would be quite happy to allow someone to run stock with a Johnson armature stuck in a mod can at 24 degrees at a club meeting because we want to encourage entries, but we wouldn't want that legal at State and National titles.
The same might be true of Brushless motors at certain clubs. I imagine that this probably isn't the case given that Kambah was happy to run them at the ACT titles but I think it would be wise to wait before the clubs actually vote before we all go out and buy our new brushless motors.
Summary: Let's not count our chickens before they are hatched.
With regard to the long wait between submission and asking for a vote. PE has only just taken over as Electric Section head, before him the IC section president was doing 2 jobs so I think we can be lenient.
With regard to the weight limit. Unless someone can show me how the current rules can be interpreted such that this new rule is in fact the rule we already have then it needs a vote to be legal.

The weight limit change is more common sense than anything else.
To ease the burden on everyone, we will have a meeting with reps from all states present only before racing commenses on the day and make a decission then.
We might have to take out our personal transponders and just run the heavy ones.

I agree with a few points here. the weight should be ok for NEXT years nationals AFTER A VOTE.
As for one letter sent to max six club and takes 3 months is a joke.
As far as B/L, I would really like to see a good case against it but I have not been able to find one yet.
