Jason,
Stating WCICS less brushless system does in fact mean no brushless system... You point out at the beginning of the forum that Mini is silver can... This should have been clarified at the beginning that brushless was going to be allowed. Changing this in the middle of registration is going to determine whether some of our members will attend or not... Does this mean that mini is going to even be tech'd?

Therefore, the Sweep Real Blue will be the Spec Tire for this event. Same pricing and rules as it would have been with the Jaco.

I believe some hobby shops have them instock if you want to try a set before the event.
Can anyone explain to me where these tires are avaliable... none of my distributors have them... all listed as discontinued by manufacturer... all the major us and canadian online hobby stores don't have them either... ??? How are we suppose to give them a try?

To clarify. The BL system referenced in the WCICS rules is a specific system designed and calibrated by ORCA to be an almost exact match to the Silver can 540J motor that TCS uses. The main idea behind the system is to eliminate the "rocket" motor issue of brushed motors and put the Mini's on a more even playing field. From my understanding, there is little or no advantage to running the BL system.

I will confirm this with one of the ORCA reps.

I might run mini too, if I get it set up this weekend... If I do I will be looking for help marshaling.. If someone wants to make some extra $$ at the mid winter I might need help with back to back races...

Geez, I haven't raced in the 'loops in nearly 20 years!

I guess it's time for an R/C road trip

Trying to round up an F1 as well. Hmmm....Tyrell P34 or a Wolf WR1.....
Is F1 foam or rubber?
