As I stirred from my slumber this morning, I had no idea that today would be a Franko Day. Nevertheless, as might a sinner in the hand of an angry God, I will accept my lot with good cheer and do my best to fathom a hidden purpose.
I'm not sure how to respond to your question, Franko, as I do not recall codifying rules for fair conduct in the porta-potties. So, taking the shortest cut from here to there, I will say the rules are exactly the same as last year.
But then, as an initiate might pause when questioned by the master, "Is there more to this question? Does he teach by parable?" And so I ponder, is he being ironic? Franko the Ironist? I would not have thought to go there, yet here I am. Perhaps you make a point about rules and the means and nerve to enforce them?
If I were to say, "No rim squatting, as it is associated with more frequent dooking on the hinge!" But how to enforce such a rule, even if, in the eyes of all, it is a just rule serving the commonweal?
I thank you, Franko, for leaving me with much to consider.

I have decided to change motor manufacturers this year and chose Maclan. I ordered two 17.5's and one 21.5, all "team editions" I put them on the test station last week and one of the 17.5's and the 21.5 are just screaming. They register 120 db on my meter. I put the 21.5 in a car to test and the noise is incredible. I have a tough time believing they would come from a builder like this but I have to assume they are bad. Thoughts/ ideas?

My 17.5 and 21.5 does run a bit loud, but as shown during the season, it had plenty of power. I'd run it a couple times to verify, but I think you'll find that the noise doesn't equal a lack of "spunk".

Psssssssst! Hey Kyle, You're too LOUD!
BTW, 120 db is about the sound pressure level of a loud lawn mower! Consider that the SeaTac Parks ban on Nitro powered cars could and should apply to any electric motor that emits North of 100 db! (Heavenly Smell of Nitro Fumes not included!)

Turns out the answer was a simple one. The bearings were dry. Lubed the bearings and the db came down to ~98
