somehow, "the car works better with a brushed motor" got translated into, "blame the motor," not blaming the motor, i sucked, and i was SLOW. and like george said, so did he, and the motor was the reason why.
also, everyone knows he just posts that stuff because he doesn't really have anything to say and just needs to be validated as a human by having someone reply to him. it also helps with the masterbation fantasys of actually having a friend to talk to.
oh yea, and goooooood morning seattle, overcast and breezie down here in the cali, gonna have to borrow a coat today.

I don't believe undergearing the motor is the answer. Either we continue the current path and electronics catch up, or we step the voltage down.

Uh, all that really doesn't matter as much as this. DRIVE DIFFERENT!!!!! Everyone drives like maniacs because they have no worrry of dumping. That surely isn't doing anythinng to create skills. Learning to driver smooth and save some juice does.

I haven't read the on-road threads, so forgive me if I'm asking a 'tupid question here, but what is ROAR's reason for going to 4 cells?
Not that they ever have needed a good reason to do anything but if someone could give me the "cliff-notes" verison of their reason that would be great.
Are they trying to reduce costs? reduce the number of blown motors? make the chassis manufacturers redesign their chassis? anyone...... ???
Off topic (sort of) but, does anyone know why ROAR is the only US sanctioning body that can send racers to the IFMAR Worlds? How are ROAR and IFMAR tied at the hip? Oh, and is IFMAR following this 4-cell path?
Thanks

Has anyone seen the 4cell ruling on paper or is it a rumor that got started to see what the reaction would be? I tried to find something about it on the ROAR site but didn't. Maybe I missed it, help me out here if you saw it. I did make a comment on the other thread stating I didn't care one way or the other as long as a standard is met worldwide. I then got hammered pretty good by one of the factory team drivers for it. It was stated that basically the electronics will burn down and motors will have a short life too. I have never tried 4 cell in a sedan so I have no idea what will happen. I hope those of you who can test it out will fill all of us in and if it turns out it's a bad deal then we need to tell ROAR what we want. It comes down too...ROAR belongs to the membership not a handfull of people that may not be very well informed. If they have done or witnessed testing, we, as the heart of this hobby/sport should know about it before it becomes gospel. It sounds to me that the pan car classes will get get alot larger. I'd think the manufacturers of sedans would want to get involved since not many of them even biuld a pan car.
Later, Mike

Advil and everyone needs to relax about ROAR and the decision. This is how things get turned around and bashing starts. How can you post if you do not know the facts yet.
1) ROAR never voted at all, talking about.
2) Europe & the rest are 5 cells, but they are thinking of going to 4 cells, because of chargers.
3) I will not race ROAR, the remarks I go race with them ICC and other races, a good chance you will be racing 4 or 5 cell there also. These large races follow the Asia and Euorpe market, period.
Let’s just her you racers and your opinion, not bash anybody. Constructive criticism is better to here than negativity. Aleast people are trying.

Personally haven't tried it yet, but watched CJ run 4-cell 19t yesterday and it looked slow. Maybe as fast at 27t stock motor on 6-cells.
The Yokomo video of the 4-cell mod looks slow as well. However it's harder to judge since that's a much bigger track.
