Eric! I GOT IT! Are you trying to say that electric racing must be cheaper for there to be more race entrants!?! YES?

So now the question is HOW?

Cheaper cars/equipment? Almost impossible as prices are quite fair in SG. So must be cheaper racing costs in one way or another. HOW again?

If you want ppl to eat more apples....than must do some research and find out the ROOT causes>>>why ppl prefer Orange.

Lucky no durian.....to choose.

the number of EP racer are there. Just look at the 1st TAC race 2 month ago. That only the Tamiya car racer. how about others brand car ower who not taking part? It's the question of how to fish them out of bed on race sunday. The first TAC race was FOC so the turn out is great.
Will it be the RACE FEE that keep EP racer out???
After spending so much money of EP gear. No more money to take part in race
If it a series race, those out of comtention will alway drop out half way. Save money?????
If it all open race. The organizer have to think of his shop business also. Unless his shop is supermaket type. every brand and any thing also have. When you break what I have what type. then it wall have no problem with all open race. Is there such Hobby shop in Singapore???
From the experence on 23T stock motor. you really work hard to improve you car setup and driving skill.
But with Open motor. 11 turn not fast use 10, it not fast use 9 and 8 and 7 ........
One way is to vary the type of race. open 1 month, stock next month etc.....
May be like this EP racer would not get bore to early????

An OPEN race with CONTROLLED items i.e tires/motor would be a good way to start lowering cost on racers.

yes, adrian, good idea. such as 23t/8 mins/rubber/1500gm min weight etc. can try to follow certain ifmar/jmrca rules etc...

My skill is upto scratch, y race in the 1st place?
Cos I will get better by racing? Don't think so...I just gather my troops and practice seriously....save me 30 bucks by not going to race. I'm not going to race knowing I'm gonna loose and don't even have fair chance...
Another thing is the prize, openly speaking not motivating enuf.
Rather run a Mini4WD with 1000 cash prize...
anyway this is what I feel. If dun agree...too bad.
