Er... when BL was proposed and accepted, there was a Novak product and nothing else. Once Rules came out, others jumped on the bandwagon pretty fast. Here in the UK, we have done just that - 1S LiPo is available to race, and there is only the SMC product currently available. Create the market, and others will come - so we have, and we await the stampede!

All this discussion about what does what on or off power, etc, etc,... Do not confuse what happens in any other class with what happens in a pan car. 'Normal' Rules are suspended with Pan Cars because you are dealing with the only racing chassis in the World that has a joint in the middle!

There is no other racing class of any kind that has this feature, and it is one reason that those coming to Pan Cars get lost - Rules applying to TC, Off Road, Oval and Drag cars that we have already learnt do not ALL apply!

Whatever you might think is supposed to happen, just go to Richard Chang's guide. The reason it is so popular is because what he describes is what is ACTUALLY happening!
