For the "HobbyPLEX Winter Carpet Onroad Series" (which is a series of 5 races over the winter) Tim is allowing silver cans as well as 21.5. This must be where howardcano ran last weekend.
Since I don't run in that series, I don't know what Tim's going to do to even out the playing field.
Yes, Sunday's winter series race. The odds of me making it on a Wednesday night are nil, as it's a four hour drive.
Last year I just turned down my throttle until I couldn't turn the fastest lap in each heat. It was a bunch more fun than lapping everybody, so I'll probably do it again.
I would fully support going only brushless, as long as there is an RPM limit. Otherwise it's just a matter of finding the 21.5 with the highest RPM at the factory timing setting.
I can provide the tachometer at the series races to measure brushless motor RPM while the motor is in the car.
My apologies here, as this is sort of off subject.
