Just got word the IMPBA has released a technical document concerning motors for FE 1/8th Scale.

As the Can-Am is an IMPBA sanctioned event we must adhere to the IMPBA Rule Book so this technical document must be followed at our race:

Nice job Mike. Keep up the good work.

[Todd Fleury]

So we are allowing those motors on the technical documentation?

Yes, that's why it was posted...

[T.S.Davis]

I don't know anybody that has them at the moment. Not at this event at least.

Document seems to be missing at least a decades worth of data on proven motors plete, lehner, neu. Now I'm supposed to chuck Quality motors for the list stated.... don't think so.
News flash.... this is not an entry level class. Trying to save 150 -250 bucks on a 2k boat ?? Whaaaat ?

Easy there fella... Sentence #2 in the document reads

"This is, of course, in addition to the currently approved motors that are listed in the IMBPA rulebook."

Later,

[Terry Keeley]

It's a list of motors added to the ones already approved:


"This is, of course, in addition to the currently approved motors that are listed in the IMBPA rulebook."

J-6 4e:

e. Only one brushed motor of any type or one brushless motor from the following types, Lehner
22xx series, Neu 15xx series and Plett 370. Any other brushless motor is subject to technical
approval.

Gonna miss you and Deb at the race this year, hope to see you in 2019!

edit: Mike beat me to it...

You SURE you don’t want to come and play with some toy boats? [emoji6]

[jaike5]

Well Randy I didn't want to say the real reason you don't run your cat in open class, you know when you got beat by a Q-cat, and lost your chance for the Oneda cup.... Bahaha !!

Thanks Terry, I mite come down and test the thickness of your skin !!


Mike ( McFly ) sorry I jumeded the gun, I was back to the future and don't want an other *!***!***!***!**s storm like the spec class.

Cheers, Jay.

Hi Jay, Missed you at the Cup/ Nats.
Put that Plett of yours in a Scale and run her on 8s. We need some feedback on what that brings to the party!

[Terry Keeley]

Thanks Terry, I mite come down and test the thickness of your skin !!

Come on down, if even just for a visit, will be good to see you and Debra again.

When I told Chantale Deb wasn't coming to help sell tickets she was bummed...

[T.S.Davis]

Kevin and I were talking about that Plett Friday night. It will probably take a 472/3 on 8s.
