Even at club level, switching from boosted to blinky has its issues, as our local club is finding out.
Sure, power delivery is smoother, cars are easier control and probably as a result less breakages - but that's where the good points stop...
Blinky then opens the class up to:
Power wars - go out and buy a higher C rated lipo
Do you allow people to use motors with timing? (adjustable or built in)
Tuning rotors
Ceramic bearings
Lighter bodyshells etc etc
Bascially anything to gain an advantage on the next guy along to you...
Not everyone at club level has an open wallet!
Our main reason to do it was to make the racing closer, that didnt happen. The fast guys were still fast, still 1 or 2 laps up on the rest of the field, so what was achieved?
IMO, nothing...
If we go over to blinky, my Turnigy pack is gonna be leaving me further down the field. At least with boost, I had a chance of catching up with the extra speed if things didnt go to plan.
Now, i'll have to find the gearing again and then see what chance ive got of catching up before I open my wallet up....
