Here's the
Turnigy 5000 typed list of rules:
- All submissions must include the following in one take with no editing:
- An overview of the setup
- Confirmation of battery(s) used.
- The high speed pass
- Top speed reading measured using a Quanum GPS Logger V2 (and is subject to further review).
- * The camera must be focused on the car at all times.
- Unlimited Class - Any sized vehicle and any power system is acceptable. However, the vehicle must be sufficiently small to be accepted as a 'model car'. That means it can't be a full size electric car! Decision is at the judges discretion.
- 2-Cell Class - Same as unlimited, except capped at a 2-cell (7.4V) power setup. If multiple packs are used, a demonstration proving it is a 2-cell setup is required in the entry video.
- EPIC FAIL - Winners are determined on many factors... but mainly what the judges find the funniest (bring the lolz). Winners will be announced weekly.
- The vehicle must be radio controlled
- The vehicle must come to a controlled stop (no crashing out)
- The vehicle may use any size of electric motor(s)
- The vehicle must be propelled by the use of it's own wheels (not a propeller/fan/rocket).
- The car must be powered by the batteries alone.
- Entries going down a hill or slope will not be accepted.
- The winner of Unlimited class will win US$3000 in cash. If their top speed is faster than the current Guinness World Record for 'FASTEST BATTERY POWERED REMOTE-CONTROLLED MODEL CAR (RC)' which is 260.32 km/h (161.76 mph) they will win an additional US$2000.
- Precautions must be taken at all times during an attempt to ensure the safety of all people, animals and property. Entries which are not undertaken in a safe matter will not be accepted.
- Rules are subject to change at any time.
- The judges decision is final.
- To encourage competition we have not and will not announce the closing date ahead of time. Get your entries in now!
