....so, back to my question about the CD........

....

[Doby]

Now you know why we needed your buds to flush their toilets during the drought. LOL

I can see why a short sighted Kanadian would have trouble with it.

How do you southerners do it...drive by Brail???...Clunk..Thud...whoops, to close!

....so, back to my question about the CD........

[Doby]

I remember in London we had that issue as well, the offshore marker disappeared in the early morning sun...all came down to whose spotter had a better relationship with the "Force"

Thats not an offshore course...its a frigg'in global excursion

It's nutty John. That back pin is sooooooo far out that you're not sure if your going to clear it, hit it, or make land fall. Maybe nutty isn't fair. How about "challenging"?

[T.S.Davis]

That's goofy too. Two separate supplies of 6s10k to two separate speedo is the same as a single supply of 6s20k to two speedo. You just build a bus bar. There is no difference. Accept that you have extra resistance in the bus bar. Silly. Someone didn't think that one through either. I understand the intent but the end result is just more junk in the trunk. Pachmeyer did this back 2007 I think for a CAFE race. First real lipo race I can remember. I think his bus was solid gold at the time.

I suspect at some NAMBA events there might have been some inadvertent "illegal" capacities being used.

Can the CD make an exemption for this on race days? Can clubs make the exemption on the race flyers?

Gotcha. So Mah aren't really an issue. I don't want to see any classes become "must run twins" to win. Have to think on that.

Offshore in Atlanta runs well over 4 minutes because the course is ginormous. 6 laps and a mill takes over 4 minutes. Closer to mid 5 minutes. Forget about what ever offshore setup you've devised for NAMBA. It wont work on the Atlanta course.

Just because you mentioned it.

Mill and six.

Doug, what does IMPBA do with twins? That's the only hang up I can think of. A 39" cat with twin 1527/1y and 10k per side would be madness.

1. A ‘pack’ is defined as the cell(s) wired in series or parallel or any wiring combination that is used
to provide electrical power to the speed control for the purpose of driving the electrical motor(s).
a. Only one pack maybe used even if multiple speed controls are used.
b. The pack must be made up of only one type of cell chemistry.
c. In multiple speed control/motor installations the total pack voltage must be used as the
supply input to each speed control.

This is another area where the two orgs differ.

Your Q Cat with 6s per side is considered a 12s setup and is illegal in the IMPBA.
Wire 6s2p to both controls and your good to go. If you can squeeze 20k in there go for it.

In IMPBA any number of motors are allowed in "Q" and above.

Also in IMPBA they do not run Offshore the same way as we do in NAMBA

At all of the races that I have attended in IMPBA, they set an Offshore coarse up and run like 8 laps,
So it is not the same as trying to run 4 1/2min. on 10,000mAmp's in NAMBA

For that matter, how about a twin Ricco Superboat? Might be tough to get under the weight limit though.
