2008 C.T.C.S. CLASSES
STOCK TOURING:
27 TURN STOCK MOTOR / 17.5 BRUSHLESS MOTOR
6c 4600 NIMH / 2c 5000 LIPO MAX
RUBBER TIRES ONLY
VEHICLE WEIGHT MINIMUM 53.8 OZ.
BODIES MUST CONFORM TO CURRENT ROAR STANDARDS. NO WEDGE BODIES.
THE 17.5 / 27T CLASS WILL BE A PROBATIONARY CLASS, BASE ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND RESEARCHED THE 27 TURNS ARE APPROX. .1 TO .2 FASTER ON SHORTER TRACKS AS WHERE THE 17.5'S ARE SLIGHTLY FASTER ON LARGER TRACKS BY ABOUT THE SAME MARGIN. IF THERE IS A UNQUESTIONABLE DIFFERENCE, THEN MANAGEMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO RESTRUCTURE CLASSES, THIS WILL BE DONE NO LATER THAN THE START OF THE THIRD SERIES RACE. NO POINTS WILL BE LOST, JUST RESTRUCTURED.
AT PRESENT, THE SUGGEST GEARING FOR THE 17.5 IS A 3.5 FINAL DRIVE RATIO, ALSO ALL BRUSHLESS MOTOR REGARDLESS OF CLASS MUST HAVE FIXED TIMING.
From the ROAR minutes on BL classes:
Brushless Stock and Super Stock Motor (formerly 19T class) proposal:
Motion: Proposal submitted from manufacturer’s committee with recommended
guidelines and motor specifications for ROAR rule inclusion of brushless technology in
sanctioned racing. Items discussed as to which wind of motor in BL technology to be
accepted as an acceptable equivalent with brushed motors in racing. With the overall
agreement ROAR needs to slow down stock motor racing and find another avenue for
some racers to advance into the intermediate level of racing,
Motion passed unanimously as follows:
Stock: 17.5 brushless technologies are acceptable to compete with 27T brushed
motors. It is believed the 27T motor will have an advantage and most racers will
continue the brushed technology therefore giving the membership another year of
preparation in the gathering of BL equipment. It is also believed, the intent to
slow down stock motor racing will be accomplished with the inclusion of 17.5
brushless motors combined with 27T brushed motors.
