What Bill said, even at a NAMBA event there is no problem if you do not charge over 4.2V.

[TRUCKPULL]

You have to have a charger that is able to adjust the MAX voltage.

Most chargers when set to 4S will max out a 16.8 Volts

At the NAMBA race in MI. last year, they were periodically checking max voltage per cell when people were getting ready to tape up.

Larry, what bearings did you get for those leopard motors you have ?

I got mine here from OSE;

I took one apart first and measured it to make sure I ordered the right ones.

I believe that they were 5 X 11 X 5

I was wondering because at Car races before you race you have to go through tech and if each cell is above 4.2 you are a DQ.

In the new righting of the NAMBA rules;
MAX for any individual cell is 4.230 volts

If any cell in your pack measures 4.231 you are DQ.

Looking like the winds will be a bit strong for Sunday guys. 18 MPH by 1 PM.

Well... I won't be flying planes this Sunday for sure. I'll wait and see who's coming before I decide on a trip to Encore.

[TRUCKPULL]

If it stays like it says, I may pass on this SUN.

Lets see what is says tomorrow??

So let me ask you guys a question. I have a 58 inch V bottom hull with steps running A single motor with 10s 2p batteries what namba class would the boat fallen under I thought offshore ?

So let me ask you guys a question. I have a 58 inch V bottom hull with steps running A single motor with 10s 2p batteries what namba class would the boat fallen under I thought offshore ?

NAMBA rules-

That Hull would have to run Offshore seeing that the hull is stepped.
With 10s 2p onboard it would run is "T" class

A lot of race clubs run "S" & "T" together or call it open Offshore.

Offshore is a 4 min. race with a full lap mill so plan on running at least 4 1/2 min.

"S" & "T" class boats are allowed 12,000 m Amps on board.

NO boat will be more than 35lb. ready to run, or over 60" in hull length.

If it doesn't rain we are going to run down here this weekend. We have cover from the wind.

Thanks for the great Answer kinda hard to find in the namba rulebook

If anyone wants to brave the wind I will be a spectator but no boats for me.
