when i made the categoty for recreational, my take on it meant that while such rules would exist to contol “official” competition, there would be no attempt to control unofficial racing, and that the rules would exist to promote 2, or more (possibly later, with the release of other bit-hobby rc products) types of play to which a set of regulations could be established worldwide so as to allow the results from one competition, say in japan, on a regulated track (the existance of “official track designs” would be deemed necessary) to be directly compared with the rusults from another competition in europe. Of course this is only one way that the strict regulation would work its way into the sport, but it would allow people to download track diagrams from the net for example, of the track their local competion would be playing in the next week and practice at home, etc.

in addendum to the original “theoretical” rules:

SECTION II C RESTRICTION:

Modifications to Power source shall NOT be permitted, as all cars must carry a standard battery of the same voltage as those found in an official TOMY car, or similar OEM, and be connected directly, and only, to the + – input of the reciever. Trickle charging and replacement of the batteries with high-capacity batteries are allowed, as this designation is established to designate the diffeence between SECTION II and SECTION III competition only.

In regards to any attempts at instituting these rules, I repeat that they are NOT finalized, and I am currently working on a website to promote them and set up a dialogue by which through concensus, the first release version of the rules can be made availiable.

I am also looking for infoormation regarding measuring real-world rpm of motors. If anyone has tools or ideas by which motors can be compared, please let me know.
