AARCMCC have just announced a poposal which would see a number of changes be made to the Stock Class rules for offroad electric racing in 2011. These include:
Motor – 17.5 Brushless / 24 deg brushed (no change here).
Control ESC – A list of approved ESCs will be compiled from current and past models. These will be zero timing, non turbo ESCs. The starting list will be released at the beginning of October, and Clubs can submit additional models for approval before January 2011.
Batteries – Lipo & LiFe Batteries from the approved lists with a maximum capacity of 5600 Mah (no change here).
Stock classes to be extended to 6 minute races.
Two options have been put to the clubs to vote on:
Option A - Controlled list of Electronic Speed Control (no dynamic timing or ‘Boost’ facility) for Stock Class Racing.
Option B - Speed Controllers eligible for Stock Class racing must be capable of providing ZERO Timing Advance along with disabling Advanced Motor Control Functions (i.e. Boost, Cheat Mode, Turbo, SuperCharge, etc). When the “ROAR sportsman” profile is enabled, the ESC shall indicate the profile by a unique LED (constant or blinking) while the ESC is “armed” and in neutral position. The unique visual identification detail will be published along with the ESC listing of approved products (as per ROAR approved list).
