Notably: 1. LiPos in Rally 2. LiPos in Mini If we were to follow TCS they are apparently allowing their 2400 LiPos in both of these classes. The question is do we allow LiPos and do we allow any LiPos. Firstly, they would be 2 cell because 3 would simply be stupid and undriveable. Also in my opinion, allowing bigger than the 2400s is really a moot point because you can easily get at least a race out of a 2400 so a larger capacity pack would be a disadvantage if anything. I would like to hear what people think (be civilized about it) and we will discuss it at racing. Also before you get your nickers in a twist about any changes in classes remember that it wasn't long ago when people thought that going bigger than 3000mah NiMh was going to cause the end of racing .

It has been a spec class and followed TCS rules (except for body options). So I think it would only be fair to adopt the new rules. It would also be advantageous to the people that run TCS b/c they know what to expect. **************** * Team JCJ * KO Propo * Jammin CRT.5 * Mugen MBX5T * CRC Gen X MaxAmps

I vote "Yes" to allow only the spec 2400 LiPo. One man's hobby is another man's obsession Tamiya M03, "C" Class LeMans & TA05R

If you check the Tamiya USA Rules they have expanded to almost all tamiya classes to roar appoved lipos. (including minis). So why not take the next step and allow any roar aproved batteries. most of us already have lipos. so why not just have any 2cell lipo rule. Last Edited By: joejammin 11/08/09 19:17:58.

The only problem with letting people use any ROAR approved lipo in the Mini class is that they will not have the spec Canadian lipo. I know, what happens when you win the finals in TO and go to Cali, well you gotta buy the best ROAR approved lipo. Following Tamiya Canadas rules seem to be the best option (Except for bodys) **************** * Team JCJ * KO Propo * Jammin CRT.5 * Mugen MBX5T * CRC Gen X MaxAmps

Only a verdict in mini has been hammered out. In mini we will follow TCS rules. What that means with respect to batteries is 2400mAh NiMh Wolfpack or 2400mAh Spec LiPo. I think these batteries with silver cans will make for excellent racing. Also nobody will have an excuse when TCS time rolls around so Kingston should have an exceptionally strong mini group! With regards to the TT-01 class there wasn't a decision made on Tuesday so people in that class are to think about it over the next week and we will meet again next Tuesday. The main question was with regards to whether it should be open to all 2C LiPos and another discussion that arose was a move to silver can which is what is done in TCS. Think about it this week. Great racing yesterday! I don't know about you guys but I'm loving the new digs! Check out the website for some pics I snapped yesterday, John should have them and the new mini rules up in the next couple of days.

The easiest thing to do is to follow TCS rules. The main reason for that in my opinion is that when TCS comes along, you wont have any surprises or setup issues. I did this when I ran rally, for a month I ran my car totally tcs legal, and it really helped in qualifiers and in the Championship. I also think it would make a funner class. As it is now, if someone knows how to tune these 27t motors and has matched packs, all other will be left behind. Here is the TCS battery rule: "The GT1, Tarmac Buggy, and Rally WRC classes are allowed to use any ROAR approved Lipo, Ni-cad, and NIMH battery. No Soft case batteries or home made hard cases!" Here is a link to all of the ROAR approved lipos. The list is massive.... http://www.roarracing.com/approvals/lipobattery.php Now, I know there are safety concerns with lipos, as there should be. So I think there should be a club rule in order to use lipos you have to be at least 18yrs old, and if under 18 years old then under direct supervision of an adult.

I am not trying to stir the pot, but has anyone ever brought up running those other cars?
