What about paragon limitations? Took me a few days to shake the paragon flu. Paragon in a closed up building = hurting brain

Lets all play nice... LOL

Ok, one thing.... I know of at least one car, possibly more, that will be released before the event that will fit in to one or more of the classes. SO, keep that in mind when I post the rules....

..WWS 4wd.. for one. It is released, but just getting it this side of the ocean is still being formalized. Still, it should be one heck of a contender.

And the layout at the ecc was definatly a tight layout. If you check the results from the East Coast Canadian Championships, the TQ in Brushless out qualified the TQ in brushed by a lap. I have pictures, you can tell the track was alot more open, not as tight. Now depending on how the layout is, a tight track seems to give an advantage to the brushed cars, and the more open tracks gives the advantage tot he brushless cars. So im not only siding with the brushed motors. And to me I feel a lipo-brushless car and a NI-MH brushed cars are two totaly different things, so they should run in different classes. But thats just my opinon, ether way its gonna be a fun race. See everyone in December!

I do agree with Ryan. At the East Coast Canadian Championships, the BL was faster then the brushed motor by 1 lap. also the best lap time of the BL was 9.8X and the best brushed lap time was 10.1X.

Also agree with other people that if BL and brushed are together, then less people will register.

I'm pretty sure that most of the people will run BL and Brushed so that's mean more entry.

anyway, this is my opinion and I know that at the 2 last ECC and at the last ECCC there where put in different classe and everything was ok.

however, I'm not saying that BL is faster then Brushed. I think, it's all depend on the brushed motor you run, the layout and the driving skill!!!!

We are already planning it...I know for sure that Pierre (rugzilla) and me will be there.....a lot of people from Montreal will also be there. I guess that the ECC3 (if he call it like this) will be a big event!!!

Coming down for sure. Already scoped all locations. It'll be a blast. Cars are ready. We've got the boyz from Montreal (LaTrack) coming this weekend for a little competition at our track in Gatineau/Ottawa. They've got a small series this spring going to three different tracks.

Should be fun. I only want to beat Max though.

Any news yet as to what motors will be considered "stock" yet? I was especially interested in hearing about motors specifically for Scalpels, BRP's and xray M18's.
