Official Motors

*Please note that inspections will be very strict. Offenders will risk disqualification.

-Only official motors can be used in Qualifying and the Finals. Motors will be handed out as follows:

1. One GT-Tuned Motor (Item #53779) to each Stock Touring driver, GT driver, F1/Lemans driver and Mini driver.

-These motors will be specially marked and must be given back to the race organizers at the end of each race day. There is a probability that you will not be able to get the same motor the following race day.
-In case your official motors become damaged/unusable during the event, a replacement motor will be provided. However your recorded time will be unofficial and you will receive no points.
-Any driver who takes his official motor out of pit area will be disqualified.

For this year’s competition, we will also be implementing limits on Maximum Motor RPM and current consumption.
GT-Tuned Motor Max RPM: 19,500rpm
Measured with Muchmore Motor Master CXT Mode (7.2V).

The top finishers of each Qualifying and Finals Heat will have their motor’s Max RPM checked at the end of the Heat so the machine cannot be taken back to the pit area. If, 10 minutes after the Heat, the motor’s Max RPM exceeds the set limits, penalties such as disqualification of times may be given. Please note that the motor will be hot after running and will thus have 200-300 higher RPM.

There are no Max RPM limits placed on 23T motors. However, inspection of brushes and springs will be strict.

Tanong lang bossing, why no Silvercan anymore???? Me not complaining, just wondering about it. 1st it was dropped from the recent Hirosaka race in favor of F1 and now it's also dropped from club races.

ayan ha, not allowed kahit anong spray for the motors... Tama ba sir Rnold? Meron kasing mga cleaner na may oily residue.

oldskul

yup Rough, all kinds of motor spray are not allowed. matatangal din yung mga security paint markers sa motor when sprayed with a motor cleaner, at pag natanggal yun...

and for all the racers:

all the motors have been broken-in and dyno-ed already. we have the record of all its starting RPMs and all are within 18,000. there are no mutant super motors in this batch as none went above 19,000 RPM, and the variations and differences within hundreds of RPMs are grouped together in the same class. with a few more minutes of break-in time you could increase a more hundred RPMs but we do not expect any motor to go above 19,000 or 20,000 RPM or go below 18,000 RPM when we dyno the motors again after the race.

so, you can just concentrate on your driving now.

Sir rnold, just to clarify, your post mentioned an additional P50 to the entry fee for 2nd entry in the ST, GT, or F1 classes to cover for brushes and maintenance of motors. That means that a 2nd (or 3rd) entry would be P200 (instead of P150) is entry is in any of the classes mentioned?

But also mentioned was that the initial cost of the motors (P1,100) is already inclusive of motor brushes and maintenance. If the motor cost is already inclusive of the brushes and maintenance, why the additional P50 in the entry fee? thanks!

Rnold

thanks for bringing this up, my mistake. no need for additional 50

d lumusot yun kick-back ko

rccartips

iTrader: (3)

rnold, di ko padin maintindihan. is it 600 (1rst class) + 1,100 (1rst class motor) + 150 (2nd class) + 1,100 (2nd class motor, except sa open class)?
