The list is found on the news site of the Keilorrc.org.au website but here is the direct link:

http://www.keilorrc.org.au/forms/AAR...ESC%20List.pdf

This is a DRAFT list, which was circulated to the clubs for review. That is why it is not on aarcmcc's website as yet. It will be in due course.

(stop racing and cheak every car!!!!! after every race just because they r fast??)

as soon as people bring these things up all u seen do do is refere to a list
go to the list we all know whats in the list im asking how will u police it

none of u think these things through !!! (look at the list!!)
until we work out a way of doing it right why change ...
im up for the new rules but U BETTER MAKE SHORE U KNOW WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR as i can see a lot of fighting over this!!!!
Mick, lets face it. Even at our bigger meets, we only check the stock motors and rotors at the end of the finals. What's to stop a determined cheater using an incorrect rotor during the qualifiers to get the best position possible and swapping it out for the finals.

What's to stop a committed cheater from running a 13.5 turn motor in qualifiers for that matter. There are a lot of what ifs, but we rely on the good will and honesty of competitors in this class.

100% agree..........use the 2010 Shoot-Out as an example.....an honest error cost people money , plain and simple.

That's all we ask , a fair and even playing field with everyone playing to the spirit and the letter of the law WHATEVER IT IS.........if we race by the LBW rule then that's what we follow

If u want to run turbos, run in mod!

My concern for next year, regardless of what the committee voted on, is that most stock guys want it to remain as current rules, ie open speedy, 17.5 motor. Tell me who wants to run dinner plate pinions, slipperless spurs, blowing up motors?

why change a class if the majority want to it to remain the same? I'm talking about club races here, which personally is where I do most of my racing.

your right doc, your going to see alot of fighting over this next year, to the point where people will just leave!
Sorry to burst your bubble but even if Keilor had voted NO change (which was not an option) the National vote was quite clearly against you. As I suggested to Mick "Move on"

Obviously "move on" wasn't an option either........

Well the obvious answer is the Stock speed activated laser, go over a set speed limit and your buggy gets nuked

What about those who are looking at running stock at the shootout and can't get an answer as to the legality of their ESC?
