Default Slash racers

My first executive decision as new Track manager.

I can see this ( Battery ) turning into a huge issue. Open forum is not the place to have word battles, nor is at the track. Nasty emails and an overall bad attitude ruins this hobby for all involved. Everyone is in this to have fun. PERIOD.

So, to address the battery issue. This is my decision.

7.4 volts is it. It doesn't matter how you get to this figure, NimH or lipo.

Only the winner of the main gets tech'ed. If you don't want tech'ed, run any battery you want, just FINISH in 2nd place. Some will be happy with this, some won't. I apologize for those who will be mad or upset. But, the whole Slash class idea is, as Ed said, to give EVERYONE the chance to win a race. I can not make exceptions for one and not for others.

On a closing thought, if you respect the Altoona members, the future of the Altoona Raceway and respect this hobby, the word wars will come to a close. Especially in Open forum or email, and from 1 or 0 post members of Rctech.

Thank you for understanding. Will I lose a racer, maybe. Will I make Altoona a fair, fun filled place to race, Absolutely.

Sincerely,
Rob
