Is Caesar a beginner? He deliberately bought a chassis different than everyone else with the sole purpose of obtaining an advantage. That chassis is a double decker, 4WD sedan chassis. Not remotely simlar to the Mini's.
Beginners mistake to run a 17.5 for weeks on end in a 21.5 F1 class with people asking why his car is so much faster than everyone elses?
Clearly the intent was to run as "spec" as is reasonable M-Chassis class.
Stan - If you only knew!!!
I was pissed and am still pissed - Not only did he go against the "spirit of the class" in my mind but he was running a $250 esc, an Orca or something I had never heard of and a Trinty D3.5 21.5 turnmotor with a different end bell ??
I asked him why he bought an ABC car to run in the Mini class - he said his car was only $150 - implying it was cheaper?? but his ESC was $250??
I am sure all who were present could tell I did not approve -- not to mention the very defensive attitude Cesar had about the subject.
We all know exactly why he bought a none spec car - he apparently needs to win badly enough that he feels it necessary to push the line of cheating - I feel he has crossed that line!!!
Stan - Bring that 1/12th scale, I'll drop a Mini body on it and I should be good to go -- Right?? The group needs to determine the class guidelines and enforce them. Why should we allow Cesar to wreck our fun?? We shouldn't!!!
