classes
I think the tech we did was a good start. We didn't follow through with all classes because it was test n tune (non-points)
-
Please make sure you have your speedo's in the most current 'blinky' mode for Octoberfast. I saw at least one car that was still 'cranked'.
-
Just to be clear...For class racing the vehicles chassis and electronics have to be within the specs given. (ROAR, USVTA, etc..)
Please don't ask for exceptions, It's not fair to everyone else that spent the money and put the effort into their cars to be 'in spec'.
-
Some of the equivalents are:
Batteries: 3 cell = 1s lipo, 6 cells = 2s lipo
Motors: 27T=17.5 BL
-
Reminder: If you are using a loaner transponder, please mount it on your car under the body and between the axles. It's pretty easy to fashion a bracket from a scap of lexan that'll do the job. Some guys will put a hole in the windshield...that works pretty good too.

Octoberfast
Hi guys...I'll post results tonight.
It was a fun couple days of racing. I learned a lot on the sedan.
I think Dans runnin' a gas motor , it smokes too much to be electric!
Thanks a lot to Joe Jr for helping on the mic (or helping Mike)

classes
I'm gonna' continue with rubber sedan as long as sedan is fielding a full class... we had a good showing at octoberfast. The 1/12th class is looking good. I'm gonna bring a 25.5 VTA (TC4) along too and maybe run it , time permitting... Maybe Mark could run it too.
