I understand, I have run more than two classes before so I know that time can be short. What your doing is simple, no worries about ride height changes or gearing changes, just bolt on another set of tires and recharge. If that works better for you thats great, for me I prefer to just run one set (until they are too low) and regear/reset as needed. In certain low grip conditions I have read of racers saucing and then storing in baggies to allow the sauce to soak deep into the foam. Never tried that and never massaged or kneeded the sauce into the foam, just cleaned and reapplied with the brush. When running asphalt before I had good results saucing then appling some suntan lotion over that, soak time varied on the grip and tires.

Cleaning foam tyres after each run is new to me too.


Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend.

Team powers 21.5 Plutonium v2 with a 13mm rotor.

Thanks

Is the Team powers Actinium any good or does it have to be the V2

The Actinium is very good but built to ROAR rules. The Plutonium v2 is an outlaw motor and should be faster anywhere that allows it.

Team Powers V2 13 mm rotor.
Trion M4 13.0 mm rotor.
G-Style 14.0 mm rotor.

Trion 7.4v 2s 1s sized lipo or G-Style are good.

Team Bomber Silver compound tires front and rear

AMR or Team Bomber Dera body shell

X-Shock damper 2k oil with a Morotech red spring.

All ROAR motors are allowed but wont hang with the rest of the field. Trust me. I've tried.

The motors I've listed above are outlaw motors. The motor regulations are very loose for this class.

Check http://www.jmrca.jp/motor/2013/pic/motor2013.htm for the list of motors.

Thanks for that.

Last time I went I got smoked in 17.5 TC. I figured the motor rules were different. Don't want a repeat of that this time.

Hahaahahah I know how you feel. For the first year or so I was running ROAR approved 21.5 motors in my 1/12th. I figured the motor rules would be relatively the same. WRONG!

If you do come over I'll do my best to help you out.

What rotor are you guys using for 1/12 17.5 in a short stack D4?

How will the R1 Ultra Premium motors compete there?

Planning on running 1/12 mod and 17.5 TC. Would like to run 1/12 stock, but PIA to convert to 2S + 21.5. Especially if an R1 isn't competitive.

Modified is a great class and lots of competition. 17.5 TC is going to be crazy difficult, hence why I am running 13.5 boosted. There's no real motor battery war in that class. Heck, I'm running a G-Force 13.5 motor . It works like a treat and you don't need the best of the best.

21.5 conversion is easy. Pick up a Yokomo BL-SP3 (cheap), 21.5 motor and three lipos. Boom you're done.

I wouldn't say it's not competitive, but the R1 Wurks Ultra Premium is built under ROAR rules. Which means it's not an outlaw motor, and in Japan outlaw motors are allowed and the way to go. When I mean outlaw I mean outlaw. Maybe R1 Wurks might come out with something for the Japanese market. Who knows?

So are they allowing outlaw motors in boosted or blinky?
Would have thought that allowing Outlaw motors would just accelerate (no pun intended) the motor/battery wars.

I think these loosely regulated motor rules are for only 21.5 Blinky 2s 1/12th. Other classss will probably run non-outlaw motors.

Allowing any motor and rotor of specified turn virtually eliminates cheating.

Motor war is still there with blinky and outlaw motors but no where near as bad as with roar approved motors.
