Most of the 200mm cars are designed around using smaller battery packs which usually means less mah's which can be a problem in the 1 hour finals - you have to remember that we run a 10 minute practice, 3 min warm up and then the 1 hour race so really the car is on and working for 120 minutes+....
Most of the cars were close to if not the same as IFMAR specs. The only difference may have been that the pipe is 5.0mm in ROAR and in IFMAR it is 5.2mm..
No one in the A-final made a tire change...
The pace in the A-final was extremely high as we turned faster laps in the heat of the final compared to any round of qualification. Impressive being the fact that the track usually slows down .1-.3 in the heat..... Running at the pace we did it is not suprising to see many cars and top contenders drop out. It was definatly one of the most impressive A finals I have been a part of as far as high paced.
GOT A PIC OF YOUR CAR AT THIS RACE JOSH?CHOCO
