also 1 last question for madness, why 6 cell stock? is it just that the handout motors are that slow? we ran 5c last year, as does the majority of stock classes .
We decided to change to 6-cell after the comments we received last year and after speaking to many sponsors and industry people. You can still run 5-cell if you want but it is 6-cell max. Remember, the stock class will have 4200kv hand out brushless motors from Castle Creations too!
from a racers standpoint, it would be nice if stock classes had some sort of stability from place to place since there is no "standard", and i was hoping this "standard" would be 5 cells, since we ran that last year, and it seems most other places i hear of run 5 cell, and also that i would not have to get 6 cell packs just for this event.
is the new location going to be the same size track?

if you remember the 2nd ECC at Potbellys the winner of the stock class used
5 cells and a majority of racers were running 6 cells....

Ok everyone,
I received almost twice as many emails stating we should keep it as 6-cell stock so we are going to stick to that. I do want to thank everyone for their respectful and well written emails. 2 people suggested we make it a 2-cell lipo max for stock class but I do not think we are there... YET... In time I think we will be. Perhaps for all 2009 events

RCMadness,
Thanks for your responses to all of our emails.....I appreciate that. I do have one question though. I see that there will be a rally class, stock and open for the Assoc. 18R. Will you also consider having an "onroad" stock and open class for the 18R? I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that have purchased Exotek's R18 "onroad" conversion kit for the 18R. This event would be a great place to showcase this outstanding ride along with Associated's new foam tires for the car. Exotek also has a great looking body for this on road car called the GT-Z which looks killer. Please let us know.......Thanks.

stock running a BL AND A LIPO WTH??? Thats similar to saying try the coke, but if ur a horse, over there is the china white.
300/370 motor on 5cells. nice and stock. and why isnt mod 'open'? u guys have it right by making mod 'open' like it should be. dont screw it up, leave roar to make silly calls like that.
R
local track down here has decided on robo 300 and 5cells b/c its 'stock' speed that can work on the tiny GB track or the big track @ frederick or somethin in between like mimi's or the bowl. and mod is 'open'. considerin ur car count for stock last yr. perhaps the rules still need tweaking. u have time!!
