    I guess itd be out of the question if i wanted to use my miniz TX?….

    these are the classes at my local track…

    Novice
    This is a newbie or beginners class, so if you are just learning to drive or have not raced before, piloting a race car around a track is quite different to speeding up and down your driveway scaring the cat!, car type is open and as is the motor you can use, although it is recommended that you use a stock motor (540), speed is not important!!, car setup and driver ability IS!, you will go faster as you improve the last two items.

    Stock
    The Stock Class restricts the type of motor to a 27 turn-24 degree ROAR approved stock or rebuildable stock motor. Any chassis or hop-ups can be used in this class (as long as it has a minimum weight of 1500g and must not exceed 195mm width). The shell should be a 4 door touring car with only one wing attached to it.

    This is the most popular class at the moment. Here is where you will start to learn about motor care and about the importance of setting up the car for optimum performance.

    Modified
    The Modified class is the fastest class in electrics. Its has the same chassis and shell restrictions as the Stock class but the motor is open to all winds as long as the magnets are not made out of cobalt or rare earth materials.
    This class is for the experience drivers as it involve precise control due to the speed that these cars are capable of. You’ll be considered as an expert and these are the people you should turn to for advice if your a newbie. A good spectacle to see them go.

    i had a horror smashs today with shypo, i ran onto a paved area at full speed and the ruts caused my car to veer left straight into a pole…. broke the shell clear from the chassis and got about 1 ft of air straight up….luckily my fet stack survived…

    well the cripple cap could be used as a filter (like that phat RF choke on playstation controllers) and not as a limiter like people assumed…
