I would have to agree with him on having the SCT class run 6 min quals and 8 min mains. He ran for 10 mins on a 17.5 motor and came off at 196. That type of heat will kill a motor after a few runs.
If he ran that hot in 10 minutes, he was overgeared. That is not a valid reason to shorten the races. You can be overgeared no matter what the length of the race. That is just a part of getting the right setup. After the races Saturday at Turtle Trax, I ran back to back packs of hard racing for 25 minutes and only ran 135 degrees.
4WD may have a time issue with the battery capacity, but the 2WDs can easily run 10 minutes or more with no problem.
